Feature changed by: Steffen Winterfeldt (snwint) Feature #308762, revision 6 Title: Remove Hal by default on opensuse 11.3 openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) Description: Hal is deprecated and now most applications now use udev and devicekit- * (will be udisks). Now it's important to remove HAL because it will speed boot process and of course because it's not moving upstream. This pages show packages status from Fedora and Ubuntu. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/HalRemoval https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy Discussion: #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-01-18 09:43:33) Let's first evaluate which packages need hal and change the openSUSE packages. I'm aware of "hwinfo". + #2: Steffen Winterfeldt (snwint) (2010-01-18 12:02:40) + hwinfo works fine without hal. I think. + But libzypp relies on hal. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308762
