Well, you can try. "zypper rm hal" and you will see what other packages will get deinstalled.
I get:
The following packages are going to be REMOVED: hal ivman libthunar-vfs-1-2 libvlccore2 thunar-vfs thunar-vfs-lang xfce4-panel-plugin-cddrive xfce4-panel-plugin-places
Now I don't mid loosing the xfce stuff but I'm curious about IVMAN.
I seem to recall having to install that so I can access plugin devices like USB memory/disk and PC cards.
As long as one doesn't use GNOME, KDE, or XFCE, ivman was a nice tool to get automatic hot-plug mounts in these environments.
AFAICS, ivman is not maintained any more upstream, at http://ivman.sourceforge.net/. Last update there was in 2007; dependency on HAL won't go away.
Thus, I would say it's probable that one has to look for another similar tool in such non full-fledged desktop environments, if one doesn't want to do manual mounts there. Anybody knows of such a tool, i.e. one that is not HAL-dependent but uses udev/udisk, to issue user mount requests on plug events?
Or shall one has to write udev-rules that issue pmount commands?
I simply issued the zypper rm command that took out the list in my earlier mail, including ivman.
I rebooted and am happily working in KDE without ivman or hal. And yes, my usb sticks and pc cards and usb mouse all get inserted and mounted.
No, Marcus, I've not needed to install udisks-glue. It seems the rules in /lib/udev/rules.d are quite adequate
Maybe someone will be so kind as to recompile the KDE suite with the dependency for akonadi/nepomuk removed, then I can run a real lightweight system :-)
