Udisks has regressed from the portability of HAL to being Linux-only, what are we going to do for BSDs/Solaris/others?
Of course even if we add udisks we'll keep the HAL support around. It's necessary for backwards compatibility, which is something we take seriously, unlike Ubuntu.
The distro position is that HAL has no upstream, is unmaintained, and conflicts with udisks/upower to the point where stuff starts breaking (eg, the battery monitor gets confused and reports you have 5% and 6 hours left)
The truth is more:
- HAL upstream is the same as udisk upstream
- HAL was abandoned in favour of udisk.
But yes, it is not in the openSUSE default anymore... So it is time to replace .
