As a matter of fact both KDE4 and XFCE will still use hal for mounting disks in 11.3. So future development that removes hal support comes too late for 11.3. Those desktop environments rely on a fully functional hal there. Removing PolicyKit support from hal hurts those desktops and sets them back by several years to the obsolete at_console method again. Before PolicyKit can actually be dropped from Factory the remaining four packages that use it need to be ported to polkit1 (backup-manager, mutter-moblin, ruby-polkit, yast2-dbus-server). PolicyKit is abandoned upstream but not unmaintained as it got included in enterprise distributions that outlive openSUSE 11.3 anyways. Therefore disabling PolicyKit support in hal has no benefit at this time at all. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
