        s3-mode, dpms-suspend, and radeon-off) for systems using the proprietary

  • hal (0.5.11-4ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * Merge with Debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
         (LP #134712)
        - 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/rules, debian/hal.init: Do not run stop init.d script for levels 1
         and 6 (TearDown). (Debian #501310)
       - 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
         + 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).
       - 88_change_pm_quirk_policy.patch: Patch by Matthew Garret, undocumented,
         non-obvious purpose.
      * debian/hal.init: Drop the FDI cache removal again, replaced with better
        dpkg trigger solution in Debian.
      * debian/hal.init: Drop gparted-disable-automount.fdi handling, it has been
        fixed properly in gparted now.
      * debian/hal.init: Fix Default-Stop: to match update-rc.d call. (Don't stop
        on 0 and 6)
    
    hal (0.5.11-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Loic Minier ]
      * New patches from upstream git, fixing support of some wifi chips with
        2.6.27 kernels; closes: #498132, #498478, #501004.
        - 60_use-phy80211-instead-of-wiphy-symlink-to-detect, fixes the sysfs
          symlink lookup to use the proper pathname.
        - 61_use-wext-ioctl-instead-of-sysfs-to-detect-wireless, fixes detection
          of wifi interfaces with 2.6.27 kernels.
    
      [ Michael Biebl ]
      * Add file trigger which re-generates the hal fdi cache. (Closes: #500916)
    
      [ Loic Minier ]
      * Bump debhelper bdep to >= 5.0.59 for debian/package.triggers support.

  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu10) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * debian/hal.init: Remove the FDI cache before startup. dpkg preserves
        original timestamps of unpacked fdi files in packages, so changes in those
        will never get picked up on upgrade, not even after a reboot.
        (LP: #275825)
    
      [ Michael Bienia ]
      * Add debian/patches/06_smart_card_readers_acl.patch:
        Grant access to the currently logged-in user on some SCM smart-card
        readers (LP: #57755). This should improve the out-of-box support for
        OpenGPG card users.

  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu9) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi: Disable -evdev for the ThinkPad extra buttons;
        -evdev currently exclusively grabs that input device without properly
        passing it on. This workaround restores the old path through acpid and
        hal. (LP: #267682)
    
     -- Martin Pitt <email address hidden>   Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:58:51 +0200
  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu8) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * debian-setup-keyboard: Read the model from
        /etc/default/console-setup, and force input.xkb.rules as evdev.

  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu5) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * Enable input-hotplug for xorg

          option to hal-set-property.
        - debian/debian-setup-keyboard: modify a callout script from Fedora to
          work with console-setup.

  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu4) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * debian/control
        - Depends on lsb-base >= 3.2-14, provides status_of_proc()
      * debian/hal.init
        - Added the 'status' action, (LP: #252350)

  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu3) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * Add 05_dell_backlight_lockups.patch:
        -Resolves lockups caused if a BIOS password of some type is active.
         Changing backlight via BIOS w/ a BIOS password is an unsupported
         mechanism currently. (LP: #189814)
      * debian/control:
        - Depend on libsmbios 0.13.13-1ubuntu2 or later for the above patch
          to work.
    
     -- Mario Limonciello <email address hidden>   Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:45:13 +0200
  • hal (0.5.11-3~ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low
    
      * Drop 96_uinput_device_support.patch: It is a bad security design (user
        processes should not have direct access to the hardware, such a thing
        belongs into an unix_chkpwd-like wrapper), was intended as a hack for
        Hardy, and not accepted upstream. [UbuntuSpec:intrepid-device-permissions]
      * 02_long_storage_size.patch: Use uint64 instead of int for
        volume.num_blocks, as it can get larger than 2G. (LP: #209483)
    
     -- Martin Pitt <email address hidden>   Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:49:17 +0200

      [ Steve Kowalik ]
      * 05_removable_block_acl_support.patch: Add, adds support for adding ACLs to
        removable block devices (such as USB keys) on insertion.
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * Merge latest changes from Debian.
      * debian/hal.preinst: Clean up the old Debian/Ubuntu specific hal rules
        file. This needs to be kept until after the next LTS.
      * debian/hal.init: Ignore failure of removing gparted-disable-automount.fdi,
        which happens if /usr is read-only. (LP: #248649)
    
    hal (0.5.11-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
    
      * Remove our custom udev rules file and use the one provided by upstream.
        - debian/hal.udev.rules: Remove, no longer needed.
        - debian/rules: Remove the installation of the udev rules file.
        - debian/hal.links: No longer create the symlink
          /etc/udev/rules.d/z99_hal.rules. The upstream udev rules file is now
          directly installed as /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules.
        - debian/hal.preinst: Remove the conffile /etc/udev/hal.rules and the
          z99_hal.rules symlink on upgrades.
      * debian/control
        - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0. No further changes.

         Needs to be kept until Gnome #324220 is fixed properly.
         (LP #134712)

          /var/run/hal/, since the former is needed for sockets, ACL caches, etc.
          (LP #205496)
       - debian/hal.init: Unconditionally chown the directory in the init script.
         (LP #175525)

         (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)
       - 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

      * Add 03_increase_helper_timeout.patch: Increase helper timeout from 10 to
        20 seconds. Some CD-ROMs are too slow to do all the detection in 10
        seconds. (LP: #218834)
    
    hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8) hardy-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * debian/hal.postinst: If hal has any start rc symlinks, force them back to
        24. A lot of people end up with priority 12 for some reason, which races
        with dbus startup, especially with CONCURRENCY=shell. (LP: #25931)
