Hi, i noticed that there are some new hooks added.
60sysfont is clearly not needed on many systems. And neither ubuntu 6.10, nor Pardus nor openSUSE10.[0123] even have /sbin/setsysfont. So this should go into a "pm-utils-redhat.tar.gz" IMO. Maybe we could add a subdirectory "distro/$FOO" where we could collect distro-specific hooks like that? Next thing i noticed is 65alsa. This is clearly working around a broken sound driver, isn't it? How about fixing the driver instead? I have been getting the argument for years that "powersaved is hindering development; By working around the driver bugs, you are not helping in getting them fixed". And we should not, IMO, work around driver bugs in the default shipping configuration. We should just encourage the users who encounter those bugs to file a report against the kernel. We can then still tell them how to create a hook to work around the problem until the kernel is fixed. I have documented this for example on http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils Of course every distribution packager is free to package whatever they like, but we should not in the default configuration ship these workarounds. Yes, there might be some exceptions (see the thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.suspend.devel/1204/focus=1233 on why i implemented "--pci_save" in s2ram instead of "just" fixing the kernel). -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
