Anyone interested in testing it out would be very helpful. I can promise it won't come to your house and beat up your dog. But I can't promise you might have some little glitches here and there that I end up asking you to help debug. Overall it's a much more enjoyable version to work with then 0.5.7 and 0.5.8 ever were. We're currently sitting at 4 patches and that number will probably move to 5 over the next few days. They're fairly straight forward and not to difficult to manage. Another thing we've done with HAL is move over to using quilt (dev-util/quilt). Anyone can join in the HAL patch fun by emerging quilt and following the simple steps. $ cd ~ $ tar zxf /usr/portage/distfiles/hal-0.5.9.tar.gz $ cd hal-0.5.9 $ ln -s /usr/portage/sys-apps/hal/files/0.5.9/ patches $ quilt push Now you'll see it apply our first patch. Keep doing quilt push until you're at the top then do a simple $ quilt new my_uber_l33t.patch Edit your files and you should have a nice patch to submit to bugzilla which is guaranteed to apply so we won't have the issues of user submitted patches not applying and taking a lot of work to make them apply. This helps us since we can get fixes into the tree faster for you and you become happier since your issues get fixed faster. -- Doug Goldstein cardoe@gentoo.org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
