To me, yes. If you make a mistake and depclean hal by mistake then it |
| 23 |
seems you can get it back in. |

Granted, it seems my current state is a bit strange. There is a lot of |
| 32 |
stuff on my system that says it depends on hal, but then again i don't |
| 33 |
start it explicitly. Other things apparently do however: |

I sort of figure that one of these days I'll see what I can build |
| 80 |
that uses it today without it and then see how things go. In the short |
| 81 |
terms it's sort of 'it ain't broke so...' |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Note that I don't 'try' to use hal. It just shows up. I don't ask for |
| 84 |
it in package.use and it's supposedly disabled in make.conf. Ah, the |
| 85 |
mysteries of Life... ;-) |
