After updating my system to use hal-0.5.10 I noticed, that my xorg keyboard layout has been reset to us (from previous 'pl'). I`ve managed to discover, that the source of the problem is hal-0.5.10 overwriting /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi, which configures the keyboard layout in newer versions of xorg-server. Maybe we should move this to /etc and have it CONFIG_PROTECTed ? Or maybe contact upstream and tell them, that user preference configuration files don`t belong in /usr/share/hal/ ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a keyboard layout different from 'us' in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/* 2. Re-emerge hal Actual Results: The file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi is overwritten. emerge --info as usual: idaho fdi # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.2.2, glibc-2.7-r1, 2.6.24-rc3-idaho i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-rc3-idaho i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.80GHz Timestamp of tree: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:00:02 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.3 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r5 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium-m -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium-m -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distcc distlocks metadata-transfer nodoc parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.prz.rzeszow.pl http://gentoo.zie.pg.gda.pl" LANG="pl_PL.utf8" LC_ALL="pl_PL.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="pl" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/gechi /usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa automount bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bzip2 cairo caps cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo exif ffmpeg firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm gif gnutls gtk hal iconv idn ipv6 irda isdnlog jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility mad mailwrapper midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nfs nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg opengl openmp pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime quotas readline real reflection rtc samba sdl session speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg syslog tcpd tga theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts tta type1-fonts unicode usb vim-syntax visibility vorbis wifi win32codecs x264 x86 xcomposite xinerama xml xorg xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2 panasonic minolta samsung sonydscfl sonydscf55 fuji canon casio ricoh toshiba spca50x" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="hd44780 ncurses" LINGUAS="pl" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa radeon" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Related package versions: x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.0.90 sys-apps/hal-0.5.10
