--- Comment #29 from Danny Kukawka
But I'm not sure what this directory mess is all about either. there is policy vs. information and /usr/share vs. etc and 10osvendor vs. 20thirdparty. And if I understand Ludwig correctly, it's just about the order of the fdi files.
The problem is that the scanner file is a file with device information. Those files should be in the /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty or /etc/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty (which one doesn't matter). The files in the information directory get merged into the HAL device tree before the file in the policy directory. The policy directory contains also the ACL related fdi file. To be able to set the ACLs for scanners, the info that a device is a scanner, need to be merged before the ACL-rules file. This is why the scanner file should be in one of the two 'information' directories. Btw. I wonder why this wasn't reported earlier, since there was no change in HAL recently about this. It worked this way since we removed resmgr support and replaced it with ACL HAL support. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
