Comment 15 for bug 399319

I have linked a branch to this bug which replaces the hal dependency with udev instead. Here are some of the considerations taken:

- The nodes <udev>, <dmi> and <scsi-devices> now appear instead of <hal> with the output requested above (note that the dmi information is currently empty because of an unrelated bug which will be fixed before beta).
- The generated submission.xml file passes validation given the schema provided earlier in this bug report (I have attached the file generated on my system for completeness purposes).
- The system_id which used to be generated from hal information still results in the same value.

I believe this meets all the requirements mentionned so far. Abel, I would like to push these changes in concert with Launchpad but I would also like to meet the feature freeze deadline on Thursday. What can we do to make it happen?
