[Mageia-dev] HALectomy on mageia ?

[Balcaen John]

I noticed a thread in mandriva maintainer mailing list regarding a HALectomy.

So far there's not a lot of program currently linked to hal :
urpmf --requires libhal.so.1                                                                                                                  
lib64gnome-vfs2_0:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
libgphoto-common:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
hal:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
lib64hal1:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
gimp:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
gnome-pilot:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
xfburn:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
lib64synce0:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
lib64rapi2:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
halevt:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
nut-drivers-hal:libhal.so.1()(64bit)
libvirt-utils:libhal.so.1()(64bit)


Debian & fedora are also working on it cf

Should we go for it ?
