Hi!
I'm looking for the file hal-0.5.14-gentoo-patches-5.tar.bz2, needed to reinstall hal for an old KDE3. Unfortunately this had been cleaned from my distfiles, and Samuli Suominen seems to have (more or less recently) deleted the folder where it is supposed to be downloaded from. Anyone has it cached still and can make it available or mail it to me? Many thanks in advance!
BTW, for the kde-sunset maintainers, wouldn't it make sense to include it into the overlay?

Here's a clumsy but usable workaround. However I'd still prefer to use the more current gentoo-patches-5...
- I found hal-0.5.14-gentoo-patches-4.tar.bz2 here: http://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/librix/repository/amd64/unstable/current/distfiles/
- Copied the patch tarball to my distfiles dir (and made a backup in my install file archive, too).
- Copied the complete hal ebuild dir from the layman repo to my local portage repo (/usr/local/portage/sys-apps/).
- Renamed the ebuild from -r4 to -r3 and changed PATCH_VERSION from 5 to 4.
- Created a new manifest for the ebuild.
- Masked -r4.
- Emerged hal; the build stops because probe-video4linux.c can't find videodev.h.
- Removed the probe-video4linux target in /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r3/work/hal-0.5.14/hald/linux/probing/Makefile.am (and Makefile.in, too, though I'm not sure this is necessary). If you want things to be watertight this would make a new patch...
- Restarted ebuild with the commands "configure compile install qmerge"; voila, hal is installed.
- Now re-emerge the remaining packages if necessary (esp. kdebase-kioslaves) and restart the system.

Excellent, worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for your help!
The largest part of my problem was that I didn't know a proper file search engine; RPM Search and Google weren't of much help (they found mainly the Manifest file of -r4), Bing even less. Bookmarked. |

Sorry, I can't help you - I neither have grc installed here, nor do I own a x64 system. Whatever the problem with your system is, you better try MageSlayers more adequate solution. |

Not true, it doesn't even support HAL anymore let alone depend on it. |
