HAL is now deprecated on GNU/Linux systems, with functionality being merged into udev as of 2008–2010. Why would anyone try to resurrect a dead application. As of 2011, GNU/Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, and projects such as KDE, GNOME and X.org are in the process of deprecating HAL as it has "become a large monolithic unmaintainable mess". -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
