tdehwlib HAL power management backend (was: [trinity-devel] about pmount and R14 new backends)

Hello, The 2 current supported versions of RedHat Enterprise Linux (5 and 6) are both provided with a working (and mandatory) HAL daemon, but do not support udisks, upower, and other recent stuff .. So, TDE R14 can provide the mount/umount features with the small pmount utility, but what about the power options ? We must not neglect this kind of distributions, because precisely they ship with old versions of KDE3 / early KDE4 /old Gnome2, so Trinity is a very serious alternative. The meaning of the original question was more precisely: If I build -DWITH_UPOWER=NO -DWITH_UDISKS=NO -DWITH_UDISKS2=NO , what won't work in the end ? If there is no alternative, I will have to build HAL support for these distributions in R14. So please do not drop it now :-) Francois
