All, what is the consensus? Will you need hal and if
so, would
you help update it if Tim set it up here?
Me personally? No. :)
How many Trinity users are still using HAL based distros? Does
Trinity build on those older releases?
The oldest Slackware release upon which I can build Trinity is
13.1, which is HAL based. Trinity won't build on older releases for
other reasons but HAL is not one of those reasons.
Rather than supporting a full blown HAL git branch, how about just
uploading upstream patches? Nothing more. For example, we don't
have a wv2 branch, but we do need knowledge where to find wv2
patches. Likewise for HAL.
Right now we already have a git module called thirdparty. The only
submodule now is libreoffice. Add appropriate submodules as needed:
wv2, HAL, etc. Add the necessary patches there.
Post a wiki article with links to the thirdparty patches.
