libmtp provides a HAL .fdi file that is used for automatically assigning correct HAL properties to njb devices when they are plugged in. This capability is used by several media players like Banshee and Amarok, but the ebuild does install this file (generated by running examples/hotplug with -H...the udev rules *are* getting installed, which are generated with examples/hotplug -u). Per the HAL spec, it should be going into /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install libmtp 2. 3. Actual Results: When the ebuild goes through the install phase it does not install the fdi file. Expected Results: It installs the fdi file into /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty
1/ This doesn't use hal at all. 2/ There's no such file shipped anywhere in the tarball, apparently because of #1. So, what are you exactly suggesting here?
Stupid bugzilla, this belonged to Bug 208310.
0.2.5-r1 should fix
