The FreeBSD GNOME Team maintains a user-level hal FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html . We don't have any FreeBSD-specific development docs. However, the hal spec at http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html is a good starting point. >=20 > Also, is there a FreeBSD hald-meister, whos job it is to ensure that hal > continues to reflect up-to-date FreeBSD capabilities and mechanisms? That's me. I'd really appreciate help as I don't have all of the requisite hardware or expertise in all of the subsystems. For instance, we're completely lacking SD/MMC, firewire, and printer functionality. Some of this has been posted on FreeBSD's idea page for some time. I asked Hans to add some additional functions to libusb20 to aid in hal porting, and he did quite quickly. I'm going to start working on the port. I will definitely have something by next week.
