I agree putting -hal is not a good idea unless you dare to break the |
| 29 |
packages that need hal. But I think there is a third option here |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
c) take the default: if you dont put hal in make.conf or package.use, |
| 32 |
packages will decide best for themselves.. |

When kde gets rid of hal I might as well give up on all other packages |
| 51 |
depend on it and totally get rid of the curst thing. |
