MinceRi doubt it's a good idea to break abstraction layers just to win a supposed "war" on other unixesMay 20 11:35
MinceRnot that they relied on gnome that much...May 20 11:35
oiaohmMinceR: Really the issue is the abstraction layers have been used to prevent progress on tech like jails and cgroups.May 20 11:41
oiaohmMinceR: At some point in time the abstraction layers in the way of progress had to end.May 20 11:41
oiaohmAnd the true feature battle start.May 20 11:41
MinceRcan't they make those optional?May 20 11:55
oiaohmTo use cgroups and jails items like hald cannot remain.   MinceRMay 20 11:57
oiaohmSince hald items like hald will provide cross link issues.May 20 11:58
MinceRgnome mostly works without hald, doesn't it?May 20 11:59
MinceRhald is just another abstraction layer anywayMay 20 11:59
oiaohmhald is a service.May 20 11:59
oiaohmNot just an abstraction layer.May 20 11:59
MinceRas far as i know, it's bothMay 20 11:59
MinceRit provides a way to manipulate certain hardware devicesMay 20 12:00
oiaohmReallyMay 20 12:00
oiaohmThe issue is that it is not what you think it is.May 20 12:00
MinceRabstracting OS internals from its clientsMay 20 12:00
oiaohmits a double abstraction layer.May 20 12:00
oiaohmyou have an abstracted layer to talk to haldMay 20 12:00
MinceR(how to detect storage devices, how to mount/umount them among others)May 20 12:00
oiaohmThen hald contains a abstraction layer to talk to the OS.May 20 12:00
oiaohmSo Yes call to hald then hald does the operation.May 20 12:01
oiaohmVery god darn messy.May 20 12:01
oiaohmProblem is hald design dates to the time when Unix's only had static linked binaries.  MinceRMay 20 12:02
oiaohmMost of what hald does should be done by dynamically loading .so files.  MinceRMay 20 12:04
MinceRi thought it was a lot newer than thatMay 20 12:04
oiaohmhald can into existance in the early days of X11 servers.May 20 12:05
oiaohmSo yes historic bit of nightmare.May 20 12:05
oiaohmFreedesktop picked it up many years latter because it was so dominate.May 20 12:05
oiaohmThat was really a mistake.May 20 12:05
oiaohmhald is not the only really old Unix bit of design that needs to disappear for good.May 20 12:06
