Well the main issue is the various "quirks", but I'm convinced a good chunk of those quirks are not needed these days anyway. They seem to be a dumping group of things that have been done once to fix an issue with given h/w on a given kernel/graphics driver, but other tools and infrastructure has since moved on and they've not been revisited/retested. I'm reaching out to other upstreams to see what their take on things is. I still have some issues with network mounts but that's the only thing I have had a problem with recently (and the same was true with pm-utils anyway I think!). But I'll need to investigate a bit more. Ideally everyone should do an rpm -e --nodeps pm-utils and just see how their installs fair :) Perhaps for the alpha3 I'll see if we can enforce this and get wider testing :D Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
