Hello. We just had a short discussion on IRC about keeping or removing the HAL backend used in E and EFM for the release. Main points seem to be:
Arguments for removing: - Mike as our main device backend guy does neither care nor use HAL. He supports udisk and eeze mounting though. - Keeping the code in for the release means we have to maintain it and fix bugs. - HAL upstream seems dead. Arguments for keeping: - The BSD users still use it (There seem to be a udisk port for *BSD http://ftp1.fr.freebsd.org/mirrors/rsync.frugalware.org/frugalware-stable/source/xapps/udisks/, any of our BSD users is using that) I there anything missing? I would like to hear back from people using a recent (as in svn checkout) E with HAL and their reason. regards Stefan Schmidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
