a) Import that hal stuff into G:S and only build on 10.1 (I don't like this idea) b) Have a new project for hal which could then benefit anything else that needs it and change the target for 10.1 to use that project
It's possible. But will it work there without a lot of hacking?
I don't know, copying Danny on this mail to ask his view.
I don't think that this would work without unknown high number of hacks (maybe not in HAL, but in other applications). You should keep in mind that 'whatdependson hal' give ~377 packages which get triggered to rebuild on a HAL update. You should also keep in mind that a up-to-date HAL (as in factory) need several packages which may need also a update as e.g. udev, libsmbios, pm-utils, policykit ... At least you get maybe trouble if you use a older kernel with current HAL since there are maybe sysfs changes and HAL may not work correct in current version with older kernel. I would avoid a HAL update only for GNOME update, also in OSBS, since this would IMO update the half system. I this case you can also update to a newer openSUSE release.
