I do NOT want to maintain HAL. We do not have the resources to do that.
HAL requires continual updates to work with new hardware.
It would be far easier to simply implement the libraries that I keep
mentioning. The problem is that replacing HAL (which is easier than
maintaining it) is still quite resource intensive.
I have just tested... Hybernation and suspension both to disk and to RAM works
well without hal (both from the KDE menu). Auto-mounting also works well
(if you implement it with udev rules you do not need any additional services running).
K3B works well and auto-detects the media. Ejecting CD-ROM works well.
What else should hal do?
Yes but it bars inclusion of Trinity into
distributions.
Hal is only unsupported because it is unmaintained. If it was maintained,
why would distributions not want to include it?
