Description Xake 2008-03-31 18:30:09 UTC
${summary}

I do not actually know if there is any big benefits with newer versions currently, but at least the versions >=20080310 passes 'make check'.

Note that guys handling hal in gentoo are perfectly aware of hal/hal-info
releases since they (and a handful of other gentoo devs) are subscribed to HAL
mailing list.
Comment 2 Xake 2008-03-31 22:01:16 UTC
I am aware of this (since I know that it at least gets updated in the gentopia-overlay) but installing a new machine I noticed hal-info failed test, and as it did not on my other machine (using gentopia) I just wanted to make a hands-up here. But maybe I should had marked this bug as a [FEATURE="test"] bug rather than a [bump] so the real intention is more clear?
Comment 3 Alexandre Ghisoli 2008-04-04 10:53:45 UTC
I'm looking for the >=20080310 because of GSM/CDMA/UMTS support for wireless cards (Sierra wireless AirCard 880 for example).

So there are interrest in the new hal-info ;)

that really wont work without the newer hal...either way, bumped.
