hal 0.5.11+git20081110-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

hal (0.5.11+git20081110-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/{hal.init,rules}: Use /var/run/hald/ as PID file directory, not
      /var/run/hal/, since the former is needed for sockets, ACL caches, etc.
      (LP #205496)
   - debian/rules: Enable MacBook (Pro) support on i386 and amd64. Add
     pciutils-dev build dependency.
   - 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)
   - Use PolicyKit/:
     + Add libpolkit-dev build dependency and policykit, consolekit, acl
       runtime dependencies.
     + debian/rules: Enable PK, CK, and automatic ACL management.
     + hal.install, debian/hal.manpages: Ship usr/share/PolicyKit/ and
       hal-is-caller-privileged.1.
     + hal.postinst: Allow haldaemon user to query the PolicyKit database to
       enforce privileges.
     + debian/README.Debian: Adapt description for dynamic privileges.
     + debian/hal.postinst: Do not create the powerdev/plugdev system groups.
     + Drop Debian's 01_hal_debian_dbuspolicy.patch (which assumes
       powerdev/plugdev system groups).
    -  Enable input-hotplug for xorg:
       + 85_set_property_direct.patch: a patch from Fedora to add --direct
         option to hal-set-property.
       + debian/debian-setup-keyboard: modify a callout script from Fedora to
         work with console-setup.
       + debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi: add a callout to run debian-setup-keyboard
       + debian/rules, debian/hal.install: install 10-x11-input.fdi again.
   - 05_removable_block_acl_support.patch: Add support for adding ACLs to
     removable block devices (such as USB keys) on insertion.
   - Various bug fixes, see their patch headers:
     + 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch
     + 02_long_storage_size.patch
     + 03_increase_helper_timeout.patch
     + 04_read_brightness_not_actual_brightness.patch
     + 05_dell_backlight_lockups.patch
     + 06_smart_card_readers_acl.patch
     + 96_uinput_device_support.patch
     + 99_new-kernel-rfkill-interface.patch
     + 100_dell_killswitch.patch
     + ubuntu_01_ignore_single_slash_label.patch
   - 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).
  * Update to current git head snapshot.
    - Works with ConsoleKit 0.3 API. Bumped consolekit dependency
      accordingly, and add libck-connector-dev build dependency, so that
      configure can check the available ConsoleKit version. (LP: #273711)
    - Delete patches applied upstream:
      + 02_long_storage_size.patch
      + 05_dell_backlight_lockups.patch
      + 56_revert_ntfs_locale_mount_option.patch
      + 60_use-phy80211-instead-of-wiphy-symlink-to-detect.patch
      + 61_use-wext-ioctl-instead-of-sysfs-to-detect-wireless.patch
      + 100_dell_killswitch.patch
    - Ported 99_new-kernel-rfkill-interface.patch to new code base, as far as
      possible.
  * Add 07_joystick_detection.patch: Add proper detection for Joysticks, so
    that they don't end up as being detected as mouse. Thanks to Ari Mustonen
    for the patch! (LP: #284129)

hal (0.5.11-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/56_revert_ntfs_locale_mount_option.patch
    - The 'locale=' NTFS mount option is not supported by the Linux kernel
      NTFS driver, so remove it. The ntfs-3g package will ship a separate fdi
      file which enables this mount option again when the ntfs-3g driver is
      used. (Closes: #497463)
  * debian/hal.postinst
    - Remove existing stop symlinks in rc0 and rc6 on package upgrades.
      (Closes: 501662)

hal (0.5.11-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't stop hal in runlevels 0 and 6, sendsigs is fine; from Ubuntu; thanks
    Martin Pitt; closes: #501310.
  * Build depend on libsmbios >= 2.0.3; see LP #261665.
