cdrtools versions and hal

2007-12-13 Thread Chris Whitehouse

Hi,

I recently removed sysutils/cdrtools and installed cdrtools-devel 
instead because cdrecord in cdrtools doesn't have prodvd included and 
cdrtools-devel does (helped by a recent post from the author pointing 
out that cdrecord from cdrtools is quite old).


Anyway, I just csupped my ports and ran portmanager -s which told me 
that cdrtools-2.01_6 is missing and hal-0.5.8.20070909 is built with OLD 
dependency: cdrtools-2.01_6. Can I make cdrtools-devel to be the 
dependency of hal so that it will get rebuilt with it and make the 
cdrtools missing message disappear? Will I break things if I do?


I realise that I can tell portmanager to ignore cdrtools but that 
doesn't seem like the proper solution.


Thanks

Chris

FreeBSD uses an extremely outdated cdrtools vertsion for unknown reasons.

Is hald on FreeBSD working or has it the same conceptional bugs as on Linux?

Hald on Solaris is based on the old vold support code in the disk driver sd.c

Hald on Linux does it's own test unit ready and seems to do incorrect 
conclusions from state transitions. Linux in addition offers more than
one driver entry for the devices that are able to send conflicting simultaneous 
commands.

Hal in general is missing a concept for dealing with multi session writes.

On Solaris, it wait until the tray is opened again after an empty CD/DVD
has been inserted.

What is the state on FreeBSD?
