Re: [trinity-devel] hal & 3.5.13-sru - future -> argument to bring hal in-house

Slavek/Tim, All,

I don't know what the lifetime plans for 3.5.13 are, but given upcoming automake 2.0 issues facing hal, if 3.5.13 will be around for more than a year or so, it would make sense to bring hal/hal-info in-house while the updates to the source tree are still manageable. (as done with Qt3)

Well, my take on this is since HAL is not needed by TDE any more in R14 (which by the way will have its first RC tagged in a matter of days), trying to maintain HAL is a waste of developer effort.

That being said, I realise there are platforms that still depend on HAL such as BSD. I would be willing to put up a GIT repository for HAL if you are willing to maintain it.
