2009-05-24added new properties: org.freedesktop.Hal.version(.*)Danny Kukawka1-0/+59
Added new properties to root device object (/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer) to enable to query the HAL version from a fdi file. This allow to handle new keys/ properties, deprecated key or API changes in the hal-info package of needed. The new properties are: - org.freedesktop.Hal.version (string) - org.freedesktop.Hal.version.major (int) - org.freedesktop.Hal.version.minor (int) - org.freedesktop.Hal.version.micro (int)

2009-01-21fixing spec for access_control.type due to Policykit changesDanny Kukawka1-2/+2
Fixed spec for access_control.type due to Policykit changes. Fixed small typo.
2008-12-15fixed serial.port handling for USB serial devicesDanny Kukawka1-2/+3
Fixed serial.port handling for USB serial devices. Since USB devices can have several ports and since the order of /dev/ttyUSB* depends on the device order, it make no sense to base serial.port for USB devices on the number in /dev/ttyUSB*. Here is the port number of the USB device itself more important to detect/match devices. Changed the spec description and handling/detection of serial.port for USB serial devices to use device/port_number info from sysfs. This change shouldn't affect existing matches in fdi files (as e.g. for modems) as long as there wheren't more than one USB serial device in the machine as the entry was generated. I imply this for now with this change. This change allow us to match e.g. modems also if you put more than one modem with USB serial ports to a machine.

2008-11-28add org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Leds interface to specDanny Kukawka1-0/+48

2008-11-19add new killswitch.state propertyDanny Kukawka1-0/+26
Added new (not mandatory) killswitch.state property to the killswitch namespace reflecting the current state of the killswitch as reported by e.g. the linux kernel. There are three possible states: - 0: Radio output (soft) blocked - 1: Radio output allowed - 2: Radio output (hard )blocked, non-overrideable via SetPower()

2008-10-30add cciss as possible storage.bus to specDanny Kukawka1-0/+6
Added cciss as possible storage.bus to spec.
2008-10-29add volume.fstype.alternative.prefered to specDanny Kukawka1-0/+12
Defined new key volume.fstype.alternative.prefered (string) in the spec. The new property allows e.g. a distributor to define the prefered alternative mount handler/filesystem. The key can get used by mount tools to find out which filesystem should be used if more than one alternative was defined.
2008-10-28revert BDI changes from SPECDanny Kukawka1-77/+0
Reverted BDI changes from SPEC. Reverted commits: - 51b8fcd53c31997d6b6bced7f6d735da12205f87 - 32f8cf992112a04578b89967e13635658c2ba59d
2008-10-27added new properties to mount alternative fstypes as e.g. ntfs-3gDanny Kukawka1-0/+44
Added new properties to mount alternative fstypes as e.g. ntfs-3g to the spec: - volume.fstype.alternative (string list) --> e.g. ntfs-3g, ntfs-fuse - volume.mount.[alternative].valid_options --> e.g. volume.mount.ntfs-3g.valid_options={'ro','nodev',...} - volume.unmount.[alternative].valid_options --> e.g. volume.unmount.ntfs-3g.valid_options={'lazy',...} These new keys need some changes in the existing mount tools (as e.g. under KDE, GNOME) to use the new features. To take advantage of the new keys, the related mount handler (or filesystem) as e.g. ntfs-3g need to deliver a own FDI-file which set the needed keys. To use the new feature with the Mount() method of the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume interface the caller need to pass the alternative fstype to the fstype parameter of the method. Otherwise the original fstype (detected by HAL) is used to mount. If a alternative fstype is passed to the method, only the in volume.mount.[alternative].valid_options listed options are allowed.
2008-10-27added volume.(un)mount.valid_options to specDanny Kukawka1-0/+22
Added volume.(un)mount.valid_options to spec, the properties are available since ages, but not documented in the spec.
2008-10-27add biometric and biometric.fingerprint_reader namespaceDanny Kukawka1-0/+50
Added new biometric and biometric.fingerprint_reader namespaces to the spec. Note: a library listed in biometric.fingerprint_reader.access_method can create a own new subnamspace called e.g. (in case of libfprint) biometric.fingerprint_reader.libfprint.*
2008-10-24add mmc_host slot_name supportGuillem Jover1-0/+8
Some OMAP boards support multiple MMC slots, and on current Linux a sysfs file might be exposed with this information. Add a new slot_name key to mmc_host to identify the slot position, the value can be something like 'external'/'internal', or any other unique identifier that distinguishes its location from the other possible mmc_host present in the Computer.

2008-09-23added linux rfkill subsystem to HALDanny Kukawka1-0/+8
Added the (new) rfkill subsystem to HAL. Added new, not mandatory, property killswitch.name to the killswitch namespace. NOTE: There is currently no addon to get/set the state of the killswitch. Need to add a singleton addon to handle all killswitchs at once.
2008-08-11fixed PropertyModified signal in SPEC and codeDanny Kukawka1-1/+1
Fixed PropertyModified signal in SPEC to do what the code already do and fixed function declaration of device_send_signal_property_modified() to do the same as the function is already used. This should fix fd.o bug #16427.

2008-05-18added system.board.* for base-/mainboard informationDanny Kukawka1-1/+41
Since some machines don't provide usefull system.hardware.* information I've added new properties to HAL to get information about the mainboard. The attached patch adds the following new keys to HAL: * system.board.vendor * system.board.product * system.board.version * system.board.serial This should also fix fd.o #15378.
