hal-0.5.11-2 in Fedora 9 polls OLPC's battery a lot. This has a negative impact on system performance, particularly touchpad and real-time audio. Fedora 7's hal didn't do this. I posted some patches upstream but haven't got any real response. Can we apply them in Fedora's package in the mean time? Or would you prefer that we fork an OLPC-3 branch?

No response, so requesting a cvs fork so that we can get this in our rapidly-approaching build Please create OLPC-3 branches based off F9, cvsextras commit access.

Let me see if I can get David's attention before we have to branch this... It would be nice not to have to.
Talked with David and he suggested we ask Richard Hughes... adding him to cc. ;)
No response, can we go ahead with the fork anyway?
Yeah, I suppose so. ;( cvs done.
Thanks Kevin, apologies for all these fork requests. I have built the packages now, but will leave this bug open in hope of review for F9/F10/upstream.
And this is now upstream
Will this be pushed out to F-9?
