great news aapo but i have a couple of questions.

is hal really necessary though? if we (maemo5) are only using it to automount hotplugged devices, udev+udisks would be sufficient. to use old software maybe but are you risking recreating the whole fork/cross version situation we have already.

bme/mce: are those links the same as the replacements were using/got available on maemo5? i thought ours were RE'd.
