Description Nicola Soranzo 2011-04-28 10:41:16 UTC

Description of problem:
Since HAL has been deprecated upstream for 3 years, all major distributions are removing it. You can find more details on the proposed Fedora Feature page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/HalRemoval

The hal package has already been deprecated by its maintainer and blocked from composes for rawhide.
Therefore, unless somebody volunteers to maintain hal, the following broken dependencies for your package should be removed:

halevt-0.1.6.2-4.fc15.i686 requires libhal.so.1

If these dependencies cannot be removed, this package should probably be
deprecated as well:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
halevt-0.1.6.2-4.fc15

Comment 1 Nicola Soranzo 2011-05-18 12:52:47 UTC

Ping?

I would suggest to deprecate this package for Fedora 16:

Comment 2 Nicola Soranzo 2011-08-23 14:05:54 UTC

Second ping?

There are only two packages depending on HAL now...

Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2011-08-23 16:50:47 UTC

Indeed halevt without hal doesn't make any sense. I am not sure that there is a replacement yet in fedora, but I don't have a fedora anymore and I don't really follow fedora development anymore, so I don't really know. 

Some candidates could be

http://igurublog.wordpress.com/downloads/script-devmon/
https://github.com/fernandotcl/udisks-glue/blob/master/README

Seems like none is in Fedora yet...

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-09-16 17:34:39 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Nicola Soranzo 2011-09-20 12:49:18 UTC

Thanks Manuel for deprecating halevt for F16 and rawhide!
I'm closing this bug.
