Guys,
I've read several development threads about the security fundamentals of the present HAL implementation and I have read that HAL is being completely removed from the picture. (i.e. HAL free Xorg 1.8, etc...). The issue seems to be some fundamental flaw in the present implementation and the argument is whether it requires tossing the complete HAL stack or if a low level redesign to remove the flaw can be done while preserving most of the current way HAL works (the details of which pass well over my head)
But that does prompt the question: "What is opensuse doing in this regard and is there a plan to address it?"
What's the current line of thinking for 11.3?
It's almost entirely removed from FACTORY, the remaining bits are being worked on, but fully working systems run today without it. It's just a matter of time :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
