If you disable hal support on non-Linux, what effect does that have? Does rhn-client-tools even work on non-Linux? Reading the description of the package, I'm wondering what this software is supposed to do on e.g. kfreebsd for which no *BSD port exists. > On linux platforms where gudev is available is put in requires gudev and > hal is intentionally ommited. > But on non-linux platforms, gudev is not available. Correct. > Looking on page: > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy > makes me puzzled. Many projects say that they use gudev now. How they do > that on non-linux platforms? They don't. Some packages use plattform specific code, some use abstractions e.g. provided by GIO/Glib, some simply don't support certain features on non-Linux. What exactly is HAL required for on non-Linux?
