FWIW, this would have been a perfect question for the gentoo-desktop |
| 9 |
list, but doesn't really belong on the -dev list. There's also the |
| 10 |
gentoo-user list, altho that one has very heavy volume so you might not |
| 11 |
wish to subscribe there. I know you didn't know where to post, so this |
| 12 |
is simply for future reference. Try to keep the -dev list for technical |
| 13 |
dev discussion, as every post the devs have to deal with here is time |
| 14 |
they can't be spending on fixing packages. =:^( |

equery belongs /etc/init.d/hald |
| 30 |
[ Searching for file(s) /etc/init.d/hald in *... ] |
| 31 |
sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r4 (/etc/init.d/hald) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So did you actually remerge hal? What version? The above hal-0.5.11-r4 |
| 34 |
is the ~arch version, but -r1 appears to be the latest stable (except for |
| 35 |
arm and sh, on which 0.5.9.1-r3 is latest stable) and at least my |
| 36 |
archived binpkg -r1 has /etc/init.d/hald as well. Even my oldest |
| 37 |
archived hal-0.5.10 binpkg has that file. So if it's not being created |
| 38 |
when you remerge hal and you aren't running something terribly outdated, |
| 39 |
I'd say it's time to look up hal bugs, and to file one if necessary. |

(As above, please post anything further on the topic to the desktop list, |
| 42 |
which I read as well, to keep the dev list from getting too cluttered. |
| 43 |
Thanks.) |
