&gt;<i> Summary     : Meta package obsoleting old packages
</I>&gt;<i> Description :
</I>&gt;<i> This package is used to obsolete packages that are no longer supported.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> blino &lt;blino&gt; 3-27.mga3:
</I>&gt;<i> + Revision: 297306
</I>&gt;<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)

&gt;<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policykit has been replaced by polkit quite some time ago.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)
