I've tested both the F9 update and the F8 scratch build - both are fine.
You might also want to take a look at the patch in bug #454178, depending on whether you think it best to push less updates, or less changes at once.
Maybe make that a second update.
I assume this won't be able to pushed to stable until the hal-info in updates-testing is also pushed?
That's certainly desirable, though pushing the updated pilot-link without hal/hal-info won't do any harm, it just won't work until they land (the net result being no different to the current update, which also doesn't work).
Is there a way to declare this dependency in koji?
Not really, I'll probably just make sure that the appropriate hal-info is already pushed before pushing pilot-link to stable, or manually withdraw it if appropriate hal-info won't be pushed simultaneously.
Otherwise, would I be right in thinking that as soon as a package gets the requisite karma in updates-testing it'll be pushed to stable? The hal and hal-info should get there first as they're starting with more karma.
Right.
Once pushed to updates-testing I'd hope the F8 users on this bug could test hal+hal-info+pilot-link and give the appropriate karma.
That would be the plan, yes.
Bug #452701 concerns me. Will the negative karma block the hal-info push? I can't reproduce the crash - it seems hardware specific - and the reporter hasn't responded. Experience tells me that waiting on hal bugfixes is a bad place to be. I suppose more widespread testing will help pin it down.
Yep, it concerns me, I can definitely reproduce the hal crash, so I had to -1 karma points, also as I point out on bug #452701 comment #5 hal-info-20080607-2.fc8 doesn't appear to contain the 10-usb-pda-palm.fdi file in any case, which was the whole point of the update (at least from the point of view of pilot-link users).
Perhaps we should think about reintroducing it back into the pilot-link package if the hal problems persist so we can at least get this out.
