2952	Hal 0.5.13 (and page needs to be updated)	willimm	blfs-book@…	"New version.

Also, the page needs to be updated for many reasons:

 * PolicyKit and ConsoleKit should be promoted from optional deps to recommended deps. At least, that's how CBLFS does it...
 * The sed is no longer needed if you are using parted.
 * It appears that CBLFS passes --enable-parted, --enable-policykit, --enable-consolekit, --enable-acl-management, and --enable-umount-helper. Should we look in to these?
 * hal-info is now at 20090716.
 * There are some major changes in the configuration. They follow:
   * Since 2.6.23-rc9 (i.e. many versions ago), the slow-vfat plobrem seems to be fixed now. So usefree is not needed for vfat devices anymore. English users (like me) would breath a sigh of relif.
   * Someone created a patch (attached, rediffed aganst newer XFCE) that allows you to specify mount options for XFCE devices. See [http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2891#c19] for more info. So that's one of the reasons that XFCE should be in the book again.
Note: attched patch fixes that and another HAL issue: HAL throws cryptic messages at you when you eject the CDrom drive. Also, the file for configuring XFCE mount options is $XFCE_PREFIX/share/xfce4/mount.rules. A sample version follows (from the ticket):

{{{
[vfat]
mount_options=shortname=mixed;uid=;utf8;umask=077;exec;flush

# mount_options=shortname=mixed;uid=;utf8;umask=077;exec;usefree
# Sometimes, adding a 'usefree' option is required due to bugs in the kernel.
# See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/133567
