For awhile, hal and hal-info were masked, but you could still unmask |
24 |
them to get removable media detection if you were using KDE 3 from the |
25 |
sunset overlay. Now it appears that they aren't in the tree at all |
26 |
(even masked), or in the overlay either. Is this it for HAL? If so, is |
27 |
this it for removable media detection on KDE 3 until Trinity is fixed? |

(If I had any sense, I'd also say this is it for KDE 3, but...) |
