  • hal (0.5.13-1ubuntu5) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * Drop support for the obsolete policykit 0.9, so that we don't need to
        carry two stacks:
        - debian/control: Drop libpolkit-dev build dependency and policykit
          dependency.
        - Drop 10-no-polkit-policy-file-validate-check.patch, not necessary any
          more.
        - debian/rules: Configure with --disable-policykit.
        - Add 01_at_console.patch: Allow access to hal functions to local console
          users, in particular the ones which were allowed unauthorized access in
          policykit. Do not allow access to mounting internal storage devices;
          Kubuntu does not use it, and GNOME does not use hal at all.
        - debian/hal.manpages: Drop PK specific manpages which aren't built any
          more.
        - debian/hal.install: Drop installation of PolicyKit files.

      * debian/control:
        - Bump build-dependency on debhelper for Upstart-aware dh_installinit

  • hal (0.5.13-1ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
    
      [ Steve Langasek ]
      * debian/patches/series: add debian/patches/04_nvidia_brightness.patch so
        it actually gets applied.
      * debian/patches/04_nvidia_brightness.patch: copy logic from
        /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi to
        apply the correct methods as well, in place of
        hald-addon-generic-backlight.  LP: #277589.
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * debian/control: Add back smartdimmer recommends for above patch.

  • hal (0.5.13-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * Merge with Debian experimental and svn head, to minimize our Delta.
        Drop MacBook and smartdimmer brightness support, since hal is being
        deprecated, and already not used for brightness changes any more.
        Remaining Ubuntu changes:
       - Enable support for X11 input hotplugging:
         + debian/rules: Do not remove 10-x11-input.fdi, we want to install it by
           default.
         + Drop 10-x11-input.fdi from debian/hal.examples, since we install
           it by default.
       - debian/rules: Disable support for keymaps, now done by udev.
       - debian/rules: Disable support for ACL management, now done by udev. Drop
         "acl" dependency.
    
    hal (0.5.13-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * debian/control: Drop libsmbios-dev from build depends.  Kernel 2.6.30
        provides dell_laptop kernel module which exports these interfaces into
        standard "generic" ones. Drop recommends for libsmbios-bin.
      * debian/control: Bump libblkid-dev build dep to >= 2.15  as done by
        upstream recently; 1.43 was a synthetic version number before the
        util-linux release number was determined.
      * debian/hal.init: Check for /sys/devices, not /sys/kernel. The latter
        doesn't exist in OpenVZ. (LP: #399629)
    
    hal (0.5.13-1) experimental; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release.
        - Fix crash when assembling certain MD devices. (Closes: #522136)
        - Fixes for GNU/kFreeBSD.
        - Set default udev_prefix to ${exec_prefix}/lib in configure.in.
        - Define new (sub-)namespace(s) and policy for smart card readers.
        - Ignore ADD events if there is already a device with same sysfs_path.
        - probe-volume: remove needless check for empty fstype.
        - Use $libexecdir not $libdir/hal to define private hal directory.
        - Various startup speedups.
        - Add hal-set-property --direct.
        - addon-acpi.c: Support acpid.
        - 10-x11-input.fdi: Add tablets.
        - Add input.keys capability to input buttons.
        - Add support for devices on the SSB and ibme bus.
      * debian/patches/11-direct-hal-set-propery.patch
        - Removed, merged upstream.
      * debian/patches/23_addon_acpi.patch
        - Removed, merged upstream.
      * Add support for GNU/kFreeBSD. (Closes: #528383)
        Thanks to Aurelien Jarno and Cyril Brulebois for the patch(es).
      * debian/control
        - Change Build-Depends from libvolume-id-dev to libblkid-dev (>= 1.43).
        - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2. No further changes.
        - Wrap hal dependencies.
        - Demote pm-utils to Recommends now that pm-utils is in the laptop and
          desktop task and Recommends are installed by default. (Closes: #477913)
      * debian/hal.init
        - Refactor safety checks into a separate function and make sure they are
          also run on restart. (Closes: #537251)
        - Use s-s-d's --retry option on stop which allows us to safely remove the
          ugly "sleep 1" between start and stop within restart.
      * debian/patches/20_cpufreq_warning_message_fix.patch
        - Fix a misleading warning message in ondemand_set_consider_nice().
          (Closes: #532999)

        - Add support for devices on the SSB and ibme bus
      * Drop 05_ssb_bus_support.patch, upstream now.
      * Re-add smartdimmer recommends, got lost in a merge.
      * Drop ubuntu_01_ignore_single_slash_label.patch. It's conceptually wrong to
        change this in hal itself, should rather be done in the presentation
        layer. Also, the installer stopped labelling partitions as "/" ages ago.

      * Drop 01_tablet_evdev.patch, 50_no_crash_on_md_blockdev.patch: Applied
        upstream.
      * 04_nvidia_brightness.patch: Update to new upstream version.

      * Drop ACL management, this is done by udev-extras now:
        - debian/rules: Drop --enable-acl-management.
        - debian/control: Drop acl dependency.
      * debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: for new location (moved from LP project
        branch to Ubuntu package branch).

      * debian/patches/50_no_crash_on_md_blockdev.patch:
        - When adding a block device, don't assume that the parent
          has storage capability. This fixes a crash where the device
          is re-parented to the root computer device object (such as
          with mdraid devices). LP: #361689.

  • hal (0.5.12+git20090512-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * Final hal 0.5.12 release (no actual changes since our previous git
        snapshot), plus some extra commits from git head to drop some of our
        patches:
        - 02_smart_card_readers_acl.patch
        - 11-direct-hal-set-propery.patch
        - 23_addon_acpi.patch
      * 04_nvidia_brightness.patch: Update for new autoconfiscation.
      * debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi: Do not check for existing input.xkb.layout
        property; this was only set by the previous 10-keymap.fdi, which got
        disabled together with hal-setup-keymap. Directly check for input.keys
        capabilities, to make the fdi independent. This restores proper X.org
        keyboard layout setting from console-setup. (LP: #375618)

      * debian/control: libvolume-id-dev → libblkid-dev build dependency.

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1+git20090406.46dc48-2ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
    
      * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
       - Rename orig.tar.gz to use our current versioning scheme (~rc1+git).
       - Enable support for X11 input hotplugging:
         + debian/debian-setup-keyboard: Callout for setting input.xkb.* from
           console-setup.
         + Add debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi to run above callout for input devices.
           Install it in debian/hal.install.
         + debian/rules: Do not remove 10-x11-input.fdi, we want to install it by
           default.
         + Drop 10-x11-input.fdi from debian/debian/hal.examples, since we install
           it by default.
       - debian/rules: Enable MacBook (Pro) support on i386 and amd64. Add
         pciutils-dev build dependency.
       - debian/preferences.fdi: Disable automounting for fixed disks. On session
         startup it is not done anyway (since that disables the gnome-mount UI
         which would ask for authentication) and it leads to confusion when
         restarting hal while a session is running. (LP #138537)
       - Patches, see their headers:
         + 01_tablet_evdev.patch

       - 05_ssb_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the SSB bus; patch
         by Matthew Garrett (not applied upstream yet, this needs to update the
         spec, too).

      * Update to current git HEAD to collect some more bug fixes:
        - Fix volume label parsing (directly committed upstream) (LP: #347370)
        - Regenerate FDI cache if it's zero sized
        - Fix handling of floppy and MO discs.
        - Fix various memory leaks and unused pointers.
        - Fix linking against libsmbios.
        - Allow specifying a udev dir in etc (Fedora still has udev rules dir in
          /etc)
      * debian/rules: Update --with-udev-prefix according to above upstream
        change.
      * Drop 86_smbios_configure_error.patch, applied upstream.
