Change logs for hal source package in Jaunty

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu4) jaunty-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * 87_standalone_smbios.patch: Disable st_wlan again, it currently does not
        work and always reports that the killswitch is on. This fixes a regression
        from the previous SRU on some Dell models. (LP: #394663)

      * 87_standalone_smbios.patch: Fix typos which caused Dell wifi killswitches
        to not work any more. (LP: #368553)

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu2) jaunty-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * debian/patches/50_no_crash_on_md_blockdev.patch:
        - When adding a block device, don't assume that the parent
          has storage capability. This fixes a crash where the device
          is re-parented to the root computer device object (such as
          with mdraid devices). LP: #361689.

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * Update to current git HEAD to collect some more bug fixes:
        - Fix volume label parsing (directly committed upstream) (LP: #347370)
        - Regenerate FDI cache if it's zero sized
        - Fix handling of floppy and MO discs.
        - Fix various memory leaks and unused pointers.
        - Fix linking against libsmbios.
        - Allow specifying a udev dir in etc (Fedora still has udev rules dir in
          /etc)
      * debian/rules: Update --with-udev-prefix according to above upstream
        change.
      * Drop 86_smbios_configure_error.patch, applied upstream.

      [ Steve Langasek ]
      * debian/control: Recommend: smartdimmer for sony backlight support.
      * 88_nvidia_brightness.patch: add a new sony-nvidia brightness get/set
        method, using the smartdimmer tool, and an fdi policy file so that we
        use this method on Sony laptops with known nVidia chips.  Many thanks
        to Lee-tin-yien Yohan <email address hidden> for working on this!
        Closes LP: #277589.
    
      [ Martin Pitt ]
      * 88_nvidia_brightness.patch: Also patch Makefile.{am,in} to install the new

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1+git20090204-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * 87_standalone_smbios.patch: Add missing bit from
        autoreconfiscation, which brings back the building and
        installation of hal-acl-tool. This repairs automatic ACLs, and
        thus sound card, camera, scanner, DRI, and other device access.
        Thanks to Mario Limonciello for the patch! (LP: #334299)

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1+git20090204-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * 86_smbios_configure_error.patch:
        - Fix a compilation error that prevented the smbios based Dell
          backlight control from working with later libsmbios builds.
      * 87_standalone_smbios.patch:
        - Provide a lightweight C utility for querying WLAN,BT,WWAN rather than
          using the python one from smbios-utils.

      * debian/patches/ubuntu_03_dbus_policy.patch, LP: #318746:
        - Always allow D-Bus introspection.
        - Qualify all instances of send_interface with send_destination.

          expected replies are always allowed.
        - Collapse duplicated policy.
        - Allow the device KillSwitch, CPUFreq, WakeOnLan and DockStation
          interfaces.

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1-0ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * Add 00git_fix_drm_acls.patch: Fix copy&paste error which assigned
        the wrong access_control.file for /dev/drm/card* devices. It
        previously copied "input.device", but should be
        "linux.device_file". This brings back hardware GL rendering,
        instead of always using the Mesa software rasterizer. (Part of
        LP #269509)

      * Bump dependency on udev.

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1-0ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * debian/patches/ubuntu_02_udevrulesdir.patch: Install udev rules into
        /lib/udev/rules.d instead of /etc
      * debian/hal.preinst: Remove the old rule file unless it's modified.
    
     -- Scott James Remnant <email address hidden>   Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:27:06 +0000
  • hal (0.5.12~rc1-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi: revert the evdev workaround for ThinkPad
        extra buttons, which is not required in jaunty and above.
    
     -- Steve Langasek <email address hidden>   Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:31:53 -0800
  • hal (0.5.12~rc1-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * Drop 99_new-kernel-rfkill-interface.patch, it's allegedly not necessary
        with this new hal any more. The upstream rfkill addon now handles all
        kernel rfkill types.
      * Add 00git_build_2.6.28.patch: Fix FTBFS with linux-libc-dev from Linux
        2.6.28. Committed to upstream git, too.

  • hal (0.5.12~rc1-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release; first candidate for 0.5.12.
      * Drop patches which got accepted upstream:
        - 03_increase_helper_timeout.patch
        - 04_read_brightness_not_actual_brightness.patch
        - 05_removable_block_acl_support.patch
        - 10_ntfs_uid_mount.patch
        - 84_memstick_bus_support.patch
      * Drop 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch: Current hal-info sets default quirks
        now, while pm-utils' 98smart-kernel-video disables the quirks on intel and
        nvidia.

  • 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.

      * 100_dell_killswitch.patch: don't disable the hardware switch
        for bluetooth radio on Dell laptops with the killswitch interface,
        only toggle software radio options. (LP: #288294)
