sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r1 blocks all udev versions >=125, no other (older or newer!) version of hal does that. However, bug 254616 asks us to stabilize udev-135-r3. So should we (arch teams) go ahead and stabilize sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r4? That's the oldest version without the block.
I would recommend an early stable of hal-0.5.11-r8; an earlier release could result in problems for PowerPC down the road. This is also the first real release that has had some patch love. Arches, please test & mark stable sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8, target keywords: alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc sparc x86
PowerPC64, adding you too as your patches are in here. Could you consider following this lead?
+1 for hal-0.5.11-r8. Works here on PPC and x86 without a problem and contains many fixes for different issues. It is the fist hal version that is free of major issues for PPC and macbook users. If you mark this stable please remove the laptop use.mask from hal.

Stable for HPPA.
I was just trouble shooting a problem with kde storage media, it recently stopped showing some of my partitions. I have a windows NTFS partition that I don't automount (don't use it enough). I usually just go to storage media when I need to use it. I know it was working a week ago, I've sync'd a couple times since then, but yesterday both it and my boot partition were missing from those listed in kde's storage media. I'm pretty sure I've narrowed the problem down to hal-0.5.11-r8. I just masked hal-0.5.11-r8, did an emerge update that replaced it with hal-0.5.11-r1 (and also installed pyxf86config-0.3.34-r2), did a system restart to make sure I didn't forget to restart anything, and the problem has gone away.

(In reply to comment #11) > I was just trouble shooting a problem with kde storage media, it recently > stopped showing some of my partitions. I have a windows NTFS partition that I > don't automount (don't use it enough). You want bug #232195 for the original policy decision, and bug #247025 for the cabal that ensued when I tried to revert it. Sorry, no. Also, do not hijack unrelated bugs. If anything, reopen bug #247025 and come to an agreement with the existing bug reporters.
Marked ppc64 stable, closing since we're the last arch.
Whoops, didn't mean to close this one (sorry)
Argh, okay actually done on ppc64 now,
