</I>><i> + Revision: 297306
</I>><i> - obsolete hal and hal-info, replaced by udisks and later by udisks2
</I>
hal was pulled by:
- sugar: dropped the dep, since sugar is using gio/gvfs
- usb-imagewriter: added a patch from Ubuntu to use udisks instead (no
udisks2 yet...)
- draksnapshot: fixed a crash when hal was not running (#3032) and
opened a reminder bug about migration to udisks2 (#7565)
><i> - obsolete policykit, replaced by polkit
</I>
policykit has been replaced by polkit quite some time ago.
We still had a few users:
- python-slip (pulled by sectool, which is used by msec): only a
requires had to be fixed
- hal: taken care of above
So, both hal and policykit are now obsoleted by task-obsolete.
I guess policykit could be made obsolete by the polkit package instead,
but hal has no real full replacement, so the obsolete tag can belong to
task-obsolete.
Should we explicitely obsolete the library packages as well or should we
let them be handled by the orphans feature of urpme?
Next step will be udisksectomy! (udisks1)
