--- Begin Message ---Package: hal Version: 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Severity: wishlist I understand that to do an if-type construct in an FDI file, you need to use <match>. I also understand that there is no logical AND construct, so the only way to limit an instruction to two criteria is through nesting: <match ...> <match ...> // do stuff here </match> </match> What I am missing is some sort of sensible "else"-type construct, e.g. to be able to say "if this keyboard is of type 'blue' by vendor 'IBM', then do this, else do this". Right now, it seems I have to duplicate a lot of code: <match ...> <match ...> // do stuff here </match> <match not ...> // do other stuff here </match> </match> <match not ...> do the same other stuff here </match> Maybe I am overlooking something, but an else-type construct, and possible AND/OR operators would be really helpful. If that's not feasible with XML, maybe XML isn't the right format for a configuration file? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii acl 2.2.47-2 Access control list utilities ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii consolekit 0.3.0-2 framework for defining and trackin ii dbus 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20090309-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib 0.80-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-1~exp2 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-stora 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpolkit2 0.9-3 library for accessing PolicyKit ii libsmbios2 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id 0.141-1 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.13.1.1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:3.1.2-3 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 1.2.5-2 utilities and scripts for power ma ii policykit 0.9-3 framework for managing administrat ii udev 0.141-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.73-10 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-6 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii libsmbios-bin 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa Versions of packages hal suggests: pn gnome-device-manager <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
