--- Begin Message ---Package: hal Version: 0.4.7-3 Severity: wishlist How do I get additions into the upstream, in my case Debian, hal package? Here is the first one. I have in the past made others, but there not handy now. I did an update-usbids to get my camera working, the usb database had the vendor code for Kodak and a device for DX4530. I was surprised that just the fact that it was a Kodak device didn't trigger hal->gvm. Here is what I added to preferences.fdi. <device> <match key="info.bus" string="usb"> <match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x040a"> <match key="usb.product_id" int="0x0576"> <merge key="info.category" type="string">camera</merge> <merge key="info.capabilities" type="string">camera</merge> <merge key="camera.access_method" type="string">storage</merge> </match> </match> </match> </device> This fixed every thing for me. It seams easy enuff to remove the check for usb.product_id and only add it for devices made dy vid 0x040a that don't work as cameras. This would kill alot with one stone and still allow other kodak devices to work, once they heve been submitted. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (950, 'testing'), (150, 'unstable'), (140, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus-1 0.23.4-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dbus-glib-1 0.23.4-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage0 0.4.7-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal0 0.4.7-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii pciutils 1:2.1.11-15 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.056-2 /dev/ management daemon ii usbutils 0.70-8 USB console utilities -- no debconf information
