------- Comment #9 from rschiele@xxxxxxxxx 2007-01-16 02:25 MST -------
It's not that I am against the changes. --- Not at all.
The problem with the documentation in the hal/resmgr/udev packages are mainly
that (if existent) they describe and give examples for the shiny new features
but basically don't explain how to do the things that were possible before in
an easy way.
The _specific_ and most annoying problem for most people I actually see in
exactly the question Stefan had initially here in this thread: How does one
change permissions for a specific device (named just by the device name and no
additional magic) in a persistent way. A short simple step-by-step instruction
would do as long as this is maintained over future changes.
The current situation is more like giving a fancy modern VCR set to some old
people not used to technology. When they ask how to record the current TV show
on channel 2 you answer that it is not required to just record the current TV
show because they could do programming their VCR over the internet instead of
just telling them how to record the current TV show.
In this thread you did exactly this: Instead of just answering Stefan's and
Juergen's questions on how to change permissions for /dev/parportX you gave the
advice not to do so. While giving this advice is fine it would be even better
if you could just answer the question as well. The file you mentioned
(/usr/share/doc/packages/hal-resmgr/README) does not really provide this
information.
Maybe actually the problem exactly _is_ that the people maintaining these
packages typically know where to find all the information and thus don't see
the problem any more.
