Description:   Opened: 2005-03-22 11:22 0000 
Please add the pmount ebuild #69575 to portage and add it at dependency to 
kdebase-kioslaves. 
Without pmount the mount behaviour of the media:/ ioslave does not work correctly.

More information about pmount and the media:/ ioslave can be found at http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=DBUS.

You can then close my initial bug report #86129.

Ruben

As reported also in http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102086,
pmount is not a requirement (and hal is compiled with --enable-fstab-sync by default in Gentoo).

The media ioslave should not crash without it, there are no reasons to add pmount as a dependency.

We're trying to move away from --enable-fstab-sync. pmount is now in the tree.
Please re-consider.

Shouldn't pmount be a dependency of hal, then?
If not, should we add it as a dependency of kdebase-kioslaves now, or when the ioslave will support hal-0.5.x (i.e. for kde-3.5)?

------- Comment #4 From Doug Goldstein 2005-09-05 15:16:46 0000 ------- 
pmount is not a depend of HAL. pmount needs hal installed to be installed.
pmount USES hal, not the other way around.

That's right. Pmount is also not needed anymore. 
I will close this bug now.

Nobody gave a reason for closing this report and it is still being asked about
in #-desktop. In the hal-0.5.x releases(which kde 3.5 uses I'm assuming), the
fstab-sync option has been removed. Right now pmount is the method being used
for automounting via hal and should be listed as a dep under hal support.

------- Comment #7 From Marcus D. Hanwell 2005-11-25 07:21:09 0000 ------- 
I don't see any reason not to add pmount as a dep personally, as this is 
effectively the only way to get automatic mounting now. It also works well with 
both 3.4.3 and 3.5.0. However it would have blocked the stabilisation of 3.4.3, 
and it is not essential for KDE to operate with hal. 
 
Does anyone have any timelines on pmount and new hal stabilisation?

Added pmount as a dependency in kdebase/kdebase-kioslave for 3.5. 
I tried and it works for me, even if I stumbled on bug 113825.

I don't understand why pmount is no more a dependency of
kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves ...
