           Summary: Consider moving from libhal to libudev
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: galtgendo at o2.pl


While libudev has only recently been marked API stable,
already many distros have been moving away from hal,
which has been put in maintenance mode by its upstream.

As hald is (most probably) not running on such distros,
mountmgr.sys won't work there.

Looking at what's been recently done
in xorg-server git master, it does look very complicated.

Of course, libudev is not cross-platform, but (according
to the upstream) hal barely was.
