I cannot add the utility to yast2-storage without introducing new dependencies. Add it somewhere where it is always available when hal is installed, e.g. hal itself.
I don't maintain hal. I can only put this small helper in some GNOME package, and I don't think it belongs there, especially since you'd want to use it even when GNOME is not available. So if you need it in hal, Danny would be the person to ask. But I'm not sure what dependencies are an issue: yast2-storage depends on yast2-core which depends on hwinfo which depends on hal. Or is it just the glib/dbus-glib stuff? hal depends on them anyway... I'm going to reassign to you. If you feel it should live in hal, then reassign to Danny. But IMHO, something like this should really be shipped with the tool that used it -- especially since hal already provides hal-lock. Btw, did you check that it works for you? I only did a basic test here -- I mainly put the code to show how easy it's to do this.
After all I cannot understand why a working solution was removed without even informing the maintainer of yast2-storage. After all the solution was added esp. for this usecase, see bug #153241.
Well, if this solution was not upstream (see comment #7), then it's no wonder it disappeared when the code to handle automounting was totally rewritten upstream and moved to another module. -- 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.
