Port HAL monitor to gudev (12.17 KB, patch)
2009-12-03 17:39 UTC, Bastien Nocera 		committed Details | Review

Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2009-09-12 04:25:44 UTC 
Please support devicekit, because hal is no longer in development and is
deprecated in favor of devicekit. 
See  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal

Comment 1 Filippo Argiolas 2009-09-13 08:01:33 UTC 
FYI, DeviceKit (alone) doesn't exist any more. It has been dropped in favour of plain libudev/gudev + several device class specific abstraction layers like -disks and -power.

At the moment, for us, the choice is between GStPropertyProbe interface or plain gudev. I added support for gudev based device probing to v4lsrc and v4l2src and started the work to support it in cheese but I'm sorry I won't be able to complete it for 2.28.

FTR, this question has already been discussed in the following bugs:
- bug 583469 (cheese, Make HAL support optional)
- bug 583640 (gst-plugins-good, [v4lsrc/v4l2src] add support for better device detection with libgudev)
