Bug 65521 – hal-device-manager should be split into seperate package (from hal)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2004-09-27 05:44:41 UTC]

hal-device-manager requires gnome-python to work, which is just silly, since it's in a package that gnome potentially needs to build. New ebuilds for hal and hal-device-manager to follow, with the two split out so things aren't so silly.

New hal ebuild

Here's the hal ebuild that won't install hal-device-manager. Suggest actually
making it 0.2.98-r1 though.

hal-device-manager ebuild

Here's the hal-device-manager ebuild. Unfortunately, it makes more sense to
just use the hal tarball, and use that, as there's no only the few python
scripts, but lots of images associated with the tool, etc. (this is different
from the approach i discussed with foser previously).

new hal ebuild

Okay, per foser's request, i'm installing everything but the object in /usr/bin
in the hal ebuild and the new hal-device-manager ebuild to follow just makes
the necessary symlink to make hal-device-manager usable.
