Summary

Hal is in the process of being deprecated, since it has become a large monolithic unmaintainable mess, and also duplicates a lot of functionality which are nowadays provided by udev and the kernel itself. Please see David Zeuthen's and Kay Siever's summaries of plans.

libgphoto2 camera handling

needs tagging as libgphoto device (patch sent and committed); (discussion); udev-extras auto-acl management fixed as well;  libgphoto2_port/disk/disk.c falls back to /etc/mtab reading without hal, which is functionally equivalent

DONE

NM device detection

NM uses gudev now; needs upstream release/packaging

DONE

Dan Williams

Pulseaudio

migrated to libudev in 0.9.16test1

DONE

GNOME storage handling

gvfs uses DeviceKit-disks now, but still builds hal volume monitor; some gvfs backends need porting to libudev (cdda (patch written), gphoto, obexftp)
