Bug#593824: halevt: double execution oninit rules

[Gene Vatti]

Package: halevt
Version: 0.1.6.2-1
Severity: important


Hi all,
after squeeze upgrade from 0.1.5xxx to 0.1.6xxx rules in my configuration files 
that match OnInit stage, are processes 2 times.
I use halevt in user mode (/etc/default/halevt: START_DAEMON=no). I launch it 
in openbox startup configuration file in this manner:

halevt -p $GV_HALEVT_PID
but i tried also
halevt -u halevt -g plugdev -p $GV_HALEVT_PID

I wrote this simple configuration file in ~/.halevt/prova.xml

    <halevt:Device match="hal.info.category = alsa &amp; hal.alsa.type = 
control">
        <halevt:OnInit exec="echo &quot; PID=$$ $hal.alsa.card$ 
$hal.alsa.card_id$ $hal.info.udi$ $hal.alsa.device_file$&quot; >> $HOME/prova"/>
    </halevt:Device>

    <halevt:Device match="hal.info.category = processor &amp; 
hal.processor.number = 0">
        <halevt:OnInit exec="echo &quot; PID=$$ $hal.processor.number$ 
$hal.info.udi$&quot; >> $HOME/prova"/>
    </halevt:Device>

    <halevt:Device match="hal.info.category = processor &amp; 
hal.processor.number = 1">
        <halevt:OnInit exec="echo &quot; PID=$$ $hal.processor.number$ 
$hal.info.udi$&quot; >> $HOME/prova"/>
    </halevt:Device>


and this is the results

cat /dev/null > $HOME/prova

startx
.....

cat $HOME/prova
 PID=3519 0 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_CPU0
 PID=3521 1 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_CPU1
 PID=3523 0 HDA NVidia 
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_ac0_sound_card_0_alsa_control__1 
/dev/snd/controlC0
 PID=3532 0 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_CPU0
 PID=3534 1 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_CPU1
 PID=3536 0 HDA NVidia 
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_ac0_sound_card_0_alsa_control__1 
/dev/snd/controlC0

ps x | grep halevt
    PID TTY          TIME CMD
    3528 ?        Ss     0:00 halevt -p halevtpidfile
    3620 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep halevt

cat halevtpidfile
    3528

I think halevt processes OnInit stage before fork() and after, child, does the 
same.

Greetings,
Gene Vatti
