I noticed a thread in mandriva maintainer mailing list regarding a HALectomy.
So far there's not a lot of program currently linked to hal :
urpmf --requires libhal.so.1
lib64gnome-vfs2_0:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
libgphoto-common:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
hal:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
lib64hal1:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
gimp:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
gnome-pilot:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
xfburn:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
lib64synce0:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
lib64rapi2:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
halevt:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
nut-drivers-hal:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
libvirt-utils:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
Debian& fedora are also working on it cf
http://wiki.debian.org/HALRemoval
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/HalRemoval
Should we go for it ?
I think it's a good idea.
Of course keeping hal itself for the interim, but removing hal
dependancies in other packages.
Contributors like myself would appreciate knowing with what to replace
hal references with, by package.
Or should we just follow the links above ?
(For the moment I'm working on something else, but should be available
soon.)
