Goodbye HAL

(1/2) > >>

bmarkus:
HAL is at the end of its lifecycle. It will be there in distros for years for sure, but it is outphasing. Just reading VLOS 2.0 Alpha 1 release announcement:

"... moved from HAL to DeviceKit-power, DeviceKit-disks and udev..."

So something is happening!

curaga:
Xorg will remove all HAL support in 1.8. Xorg.conf continues to be supported, as will autoconfiguration.

bmarkus:
Just reading UBUNTU 10.04 Alpha 2 release note:

"New features: updated packages, Linux kernel 2.6.32, KDE 4.4 RC1; full removal of the HAL package, making Ubuntu faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend;"

Now it is happening.

curaga:
If only Ubuntu would get rid of Pulseaudio, it would be usable ;)
