  * debian/patches/65-glib-single-include.patch: Starting with glib 2.32 it is
    now mandatory to include <glib.h> instead of individual headers.
    (Closes: #665556)
  * Test for /var/cache/hald and /var/run/hald before trying to remove them on
    purge. This avoids a harmless warning message. (Closes: #638675)
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
  * Add Breaks against xserver-xorg (<< 1:7.6+8), to ensure we have a version of
    xserver-xorg which no longer uses "invoke-rc.d hal restart" in postinst,
    since the init script is gone. (Closes: #624398)

      archive.
  * debian/patches/60-create-run-hald-directory.patch
    - Create /var/run/hald/ when starting hald. This directory contains
      runtime data like pid files and sockets and needs to be created
      dynamically as (/var)/run resides on a tmpfs. (Closes: #632900)

  * Add 00upstream_video4linux_check.patch: Do not build
    hald-probe-video4linux if v4l1 is not available. (LP: #721399)
  * Refresh 99-autoreconf.patch for above.
  * 45-fix-libusb-detection.patch: Unfuzz.

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * debian/patches/00_disable_v4l1_probing.patch
    - The hald-probe-video4linux prober supports both v4l1 and v4l2. Support
      for v4l1 has been removed from Linux kernel 2.6.38. Instead of
      disabling the prober altogether, #ifdef the v4l1 parts when building on a
      newer kernel. This partially reverts 00upstream_video4linux_check.patch.
      (Closes: #621973)
  * Refresh all patches to apply cleanly.
  * Use dh-autoreconf to update the build system
    - Drop debian/patches/99-autoreconf.patch
    - Add Build-Depends on dh-autoreconf.
    - Include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/autoreconf.mk in debian/rules.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2. No further changes.

  * 10-x11-input.fdi, debian/rules: Do not install 10-x11-input.fdi any more,
    X.org uses udev now. This brings those parts back in sync with Debian.
  * Change startup from init/upstart to D-Bus activation. This allows us
    having installed programs which still need hal without the need to start
    hal on boot:
    - Remove debian/hal.{init,upstart,default}.
    - Add D-Bus activation service file debian/org.freedesktop.Hal.service and
      install it in debian/hal.install.
    - debian/hal.postinst: Remove init/upstart/default/rc.d files on upgrade.
    - debian/hal.postinst: When triggering an .fdi file update, just stop
      hald; it will be reactivated when needed.
  * debian/libhal1.symbols: Add new symbol from 0.5.14.

     + debian/rules: Do not remove 10-x11-input.fdi, we want to install it by
       default.
     + Drop 10-x11-input.fdi from debian/hal.examples, since we install
       it by default.
     This will soon be obsoleted by changing X.org to use udev-based input
     device detection.
   - Add support for smartdimmer backlight control for GeForce 7/8/9 based
     Sony laptops.
     + Add 04_nvidia_brightness.patch.

   - debian/hal.postinst: Do not create plugdev and powerdev groups.
   - Add debian/hal.upstart: Supersedes init script.

  * Drop support for the obsolete policykit 0.9, so that we don't need to
    carry two stacks:
    - debian/control: Drop libpolkit-dev build dependency and policykit
      dependency.
    - Drop 10-no-polkit-policy-file-validate-check.patch, not necessary any
      more.
    - debian/rules: Configure with --disable-policykit.
    - Add 01_at_console.patch: Allow access to hal functions to local console
      users, in particular the ones which were allowed unauthorized access in
      policykit. Do not allow access to mounting internal storage devices;
      Kubuntu does not use it, and GNOME does not use hal at all.
    - debian/hal.manpages: Drop PK specific manpages which aren't built any
      more.
    - debian/hal.install: Drop installation of PolicyKit files.

  * Merge with Debian experimental and svn head, to minimize our Delta.
    Drop MacBook and smartdimmer brightness support, since hal is being
    deprecated, and already not used for brightness changes any more.
    Remaining Ubuntu changes:
   - Enable support for X11 input hotplugging:
     + debian/rules: Do not remove 10-x11-input.fdi, we want to install it by
       default.
     + Drop 10-x11-input.fdi from debian/hal.examples, since we install
       it by default.

    - Fix crash when assembling certain MD devices
    - Fixes for GNU/kFreeBSD
    - Set default udev_prefix to ${exec_prefix}/lib in configure.in
    - Define new (sub-)namespace(s) and policy for smart card readers
    - Ignore ADD events if there is already a device with same sysfs_path
    - probe-volume: remove needless check for empty fstype
    - Use $libexecdir not $libdir/hal to define private hal directory
    - Various startup speedups
    - Add hal-set-property --direct
    - addon-acpi.c: Support acpid
    - 10-x11-input.fdi: Add tablets

  * Drop 05_ssb_bus_support.patch, upstream now.
  * Re-add smartdimmer recommends, got lost in a merge.
  * Drop ubuntu_01_ignore_single_slash_label.patch. It's conceptually wrong to
    change this in hal itself, should rather be done in the presentation
    layer. Also, the installer stopped labelling partitions as "/" ages ago.

  * Final hal 0.5.12 release (no actual changes since our previous git
    snapshot), plus some extra commits from git head to drop some of our
    patches:
    - 02_smart_card_readers_acl.patch
    - 11-direct-hal-set-propery.patch
    - 23_addon_acpi.patch
  * 04_nvidia_brightness.patch: Update for new autoconfiscation.
  * debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi: Do not check for existing input.xkb.layout
    property; this was only set by the previous 10-keymap.fdi, which got
    disabled together with hal-setup-keymap. Directly check for input.keys
    capabilities, to make the fdi independent. This restores proper X.org
    keyboard layout setting from console-setup. (LP: #375618)

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
   - Rename orig.tar.gz to use our current versioning scheme (~rc1+git).
   - Enable support for X11 input hotplugging:
     + debian/debian-setup-keyboard: Callout for setting input.xkb.* from
       console-setup.
     + Add debian/10-x11-keymap.fdi to run above callout for input devices.
       Install it in debian/hal.install.
     + debian/rules: Do not remove 10-x11-input.fdi, we want to install it by
       default.
     + Drop 10-x11-input.fdi from debian/debian/hal.examples, since we install
       it by default.
   - debian/rules: Enable MacBook (Pro) support on i386 and amd64. Add
     pciutils-dev build dependency.
   - debian/preferences.fdi: Disable automounting for fixed disks. On session
     startup it is not done anyway (since that disables the gnome-mount UI
     which would ask for authentication) and it leads to confusion when
     restarting hal while a session is running. (LP #138537)
   - Patches, see their headers:
     + 01_tablet_evdev.patch

     + 04_nvidia_brightness.patch
     + ubuntu_01_ignore_single_slash_label.patch
   - 05_ssb_bus_support.patch: Add support for devices on the SSB bus; patch
     by Matthew Garrett (not applied upstream yet, this needs to update the
     spec, too).

  * debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr, updates to hardy are in the 'hardy' branch
    now.
  * Add 03_increase_helper_timeout.patch: Increase helper timeout from 10 to
    20 seconds. Some CD-ROMs are too slow to do all the detection in 10
    seconds. (LP: #218834)

  * debian/hal.postinst: If hal has any start rc symlinks, force them back to
    24. A lot of people end up with priority 12 for some reason, which races
    with dbus startup, especially with CONCURRENCY=shell. (LP: #25931)
  * Add 00upstream-fix-macbook-backlight.patch: Fix backlight control on
    MacBooks. Thanks to godlygeek! (LP: #206921)

  * Add 02_input_spin_removed_fd.patch:
    - Avoid spinning on already invalidated/closed file descriptors in the
      input addon. This fixes "hal takes 100% CPU and breaks input device
      handling" on a lot of machines. (LP: #203679)
    - Thanks to Jon Oberheide for the patch!

  * 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch: Apply the same logic to the
    suspend-hybrid and hibernate script.
  * debian/hal.postinst: Fix /var/run/hal -> /var/run/hald as well and drop
    the chown'ing completely, since the init script does it already.
    (LP: #175525)
  * debian/hal.postinst: Fix upgrade version comparison to also force-reload
    dbus when installing from scratch. (LP: #206787)
