Comment 74 for bug 43572

hal (0.5.10-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Redo the bzr branch of this package as clean fork from the Debian svn
    (https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/debian, thanks bzr-svn!)
    and commit the remaining relevant Ubuntu patches to it:
    https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu
  * Merge with Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
   - Ubuntu udev world order:
     + debian/hal.links: Remove rules symlink, we install the rules file
       directly into rules/.
     + debian/rules: Install udev rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/.
     + debian/hal.{preinst,postinst,postrm}: Transition code for changing the
       udev rule priority (see 0.5.8.1-3ubuntu7, needs to be kept until after
       next LTS).
   - debian/rules: Enable MacBook (Pro) support on i386 and amd64. Add
     pciutils-dev build dependency.
   - debian/hal.init: Remove stray gparted-disable-automount.fdi on startup.
     (LP #134712)
   - debian/rules: Do not run stop init.d script for levels 1 and 6
     (TearDown).
   - debian/preferences.fdi: Disable automounting for fixed disks. On session
     startup it is not done anyway (since that disables the gnome-mount UI
     which would ask for authentication) and it leads to confusion when
     restarting hal while a session is running. (LP #138537)
   - 80_allow_vfat_usefree.patch: Allow vfat mount option "usefree".
     (LP #133567)
   - 81_ignore_single_slash_label.patch: Ignore labels which only consist of a
     slash, so that they do not end up as /media/-. An earlier Ubuntu
     d-i/ubiquity created those labels by default. (LP #83323)
   - 82_ignore_fixed_nonmedia.patch: Ignore fixed partitions which mounted,
     but not below /media/.
   - 83_ssb_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the SSB bus; patch
     by Matthew Garrett (not applied upstream yet, this needs to update the
     spec, too).
   - 84_memstick_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the "memstick"
     bus; patch by Matthew Garrett (not reported upstream yet, this needs to
     update the spec, too).
   - 85_read_brightness_not_actual_brightness.patch: Read the brightness from
     /sys/class/backlight/foo/brightness, not actual_brightness. It makes more
     sense to change based on the brightness that we wanted to set, not the
     brightness that we actually set. Patch by Matthew Garrett. Forwarded to
     FD#12891.
  * Now build with libsmbios to get Dell backlight support. (LP: #43572)
  * Dropped the following Ubuntu changes:
    - hwdb icons and patches, python-launchpad-integration, .desktop file
      translation fixes: hal-device-manager is gone, will be replaced by
      indepentent gnome-device-manager project.
    - symlinking of doc directories in debian/rules: current cdbs does that
      automatically now.
    - 02_powerscripts.patch, 90_pmi.patch: pm-utils is the only supported
      backend now.
    - 26-addon-acpi-fix-free-before-init.diff,
      63_my_dbus_is_full_of_uints.patch, 69_set_dmi_before_matching.patch,
      macbook-backlight.diff: Applied upstream.
    - 56_probe_fstab.patch and the disabling of mounting for unmounted
      partitions which are 'auto' in fstab: The patch does not fit into hal's
      design to always show current information, was rejected upstream,
      only handles a corner case, and we do not automount fixed drives anyway.
  * Add 86_allow_ufs_ufstype.patch: Allow ufs mount option 'ufstype', thanks
    to Georges Discry. (LP: #110865, FD#10998)

hal (0.5.10-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * New upstream release.
    - Ships the x11-input.fdi file which is required for the xorg input
      hotplugging (Closes: #446851).
    - Correctly initializes the dbus error struct in the acpi addon
      (Closes: #438802).

    hal-device-manager has been removed from the upstream tarball. There is
    now a separate project called gnome-device-manager which is intended to
    replace hal-device-manager.
  * Remove obsolete files
    - debian/hal-device-manager.1
    - debian/hal-device-manager.desktop
    - debian/hal-device-manager.install
    - debian/hal-device-manager.manpages
    - debian/patches/62_dbus-python-0.80.patch
    - debian/pyversions
  * debian/rules
    - Remove the dh_pysupport call.
    - Enable the hal umount helper.
  * debian/control
    - Remove Build-Depends: python, python-dbus, python-support.
    - Remove binary package hal-device-manager.
    - Replace Suggests: hal-device-manager with gnome-device-manager.
    - Use the new "Homepage:" field to specify the upstream URL.
    - Add a Build-Depends: gperf. This utility is required for building the
      hal-setup-keymap binary that is necessary for the multimedia key
      re-mapping support.
    - Add a Recommends: libsmbios-bin [i386 amd64]. The libsmbios-bin
      package ships the dellWirelessCtl utility which is required for the
      RF kill switch support on DELL laptops.
    - Add a Depends: pm-utils. Beginning with this release we will only
      support pm-utils as suspend infrastructure.
    - Add a versioned Depends on mount (>= 2.13). This is a requirement of the
      hal umount helper.
  * debian/libhal1.shlibs, debian/libhal-storage1.shlibs
    - Bump shlibs to >= 0.5.10 due to ABI additions.
  * debian/hal.install
    - Install the hal-setup-keymap binary.
    - Install the hal umount helper to /usr/sbin as it has dependencies on
      libraries in /usr/lib.
  * debian/hal.links
    - Create a symlink from /usr/sbin/umount.hal to /sbin.
  * debian/watch
    - Update to new download location at http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/.
  * Remove patches that were merged upstream
    - debian/patches/68-pass-noquirks-to-pm-utils.patch
    - debian/patches/70-libhal-changeset-memleak.patch
    - debian/patches/75-hal-serial-null.patch
  * debian/patches/70_killswitch_dell.patch
    - Fix the path for the dellWirelessCtl utility (Closes: #443583).
  * debian/patches/02_powerscripts.patch,
    debian/patches/14_power_suspend_linux_pmu_fix.patch
    - As we only support pm-utils, these patches have become obsolete and are
      thus removed.
  * debian/patches/55_nonpolkit-mount-policy.patch
    - Rework patch for this hal version. Throw a Volume.PermissionDenied error
      if a non-removable device is mounted by a user other than root.

  [ Sebastian Dröge ]
  * debian/patches/68_alternative-cdrw-capacity-detection.patch
    - Add an alternative method of detecting the capacity of CDR/CDRW discs.
      Only using the old method fails for some drives, for more information
      see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12822 .
  * debian/rules:
    - Don't mark /usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-functions executable, this is
      nothing that can be executed.
