Hi,

I'm the author of the HAL stuff, and at some point (around hal-0.2 or
later, when things stabilize), I'd probably take my chances, package it
up and ask for inclusion of in fedora extras. 

Now, HAL right now depends on d-bus, python and will depend on a late
version of hotplug. And it will work somewhat better with 2.6 kernel. So
two questions come to mind:

 1. I see that hotplug-2002_04_01 is current in fedora core; are
    there any reasons that later packages e.g. hotplug-2003_08_05 +
    hotplug-base-2003_08_05 isn't shipped?

 2. Will there be a 2.6 kernel in extras anytime soon? (Late version of
    hotplug is required to handle new kernel events, e.g. scsi)

Regards,
David
