------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The package `kdeadmin-kpackage` has been split out of `kdeadmin` because '''KPackage''' now depends on `smart`.
* KDE 4 dropped the `kdeaddons` module. Therefore, there is no `kdeaddons` package in Fedora 9. The '''Atlantik Designer''', for use with `kdegames3`, is still available as `kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner`. The `ksig` application and the `konq-plugins` Konqueror plugins are now their own packages, and `extragear-plasma` replaces the Kicker addons.

+ === PackageKit ===
+
+ PackageKit is the new default distribution neutral package management framework and frontend. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageKit for more details.

=== Bluetooth ===
The Bluetooth feature in Fedora 9 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BluetoothFedora9) has several enhancements specific to this release. The future generations of this feature are covered with greater detail at:

- Note: `~/.Xclients` and `~/.xsession` are no longer read automatically at login time. If you use either of these files, install the `xorg-x11-xinit-session` package.
+ * `~/.Xclients` and `~/.xsession` are no longer read automatically at login time. If you use either of these files, install the `xorg-x11-xinit-session` package.
+ * Due to a bug introduced at the end of the development cycle (bug 445631), users will be unable to select their language the first time the login screen comes up. Users should log in once, and then logout again to get language selection. Unfortunately, this bug effects the LiveCD as well.
+ * The shipped version of GDM doesn't support old style theme formats, and is considerably plainer than the version shipped in F8. A priority for F10 will be greeter aesthetics.

Yes, as Alex says, users wishing to workaround current HAL/PolicyKit problems
should still follow comment #119 (and thereby comment #110, and if necessary
comment #113). Bear in mind that you may need to undo these manual changes when
a fix is supplied within the pilot-link package (or hal/hal-info).
N.B. Make sure you put the replacement configs in *exactly* the right places.

I'll refactor the upstream patches to workaround bug #435093. Hopefully in the
next day or so.

Hey Paul,
Unfortunately this would just work out of the box if hal was updated to 0.5.11
on F-8, but no word from the hal maintainer that he's going to do that. So
currently hal doesn't contain the right fixes, so they have to be either
carried in the pilot-link package (which isn't done as yet because we were
hoping for a new hal), or added manually which is what comment #110 and comment
#113 were about.

Yes, you need to replace those files with the ones attached here. I also had to
modify:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/19-pam-acl-management.fdi

Hopefully Kevin Page can correct me if I'm wrong, but I did manage to get things
to work once I followed those comments to the letter.
I think we just need to assume that hal won't be updated on F-8 and put the
right fixes in pilot-link directly.

------- Additional Comments From pauljohn(a)ku.edu 2008-05-06 13:41 EST -------
Can I please have a status update for Fedora 8. I'm up to date with
hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.2
pilot-link-0.12.2-18.fc8
That pilot-link supplies this:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/19-pam-acl-management.fdi
which does not match the one proposed in message #110 of this thread, and there
is no corresponding package in the RPM to match the proposed file:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/10-usb-pda-palm.fdi
Should I install/replace those files with the fdi files attached in this thread?
I'm trying to help my friend, who is a new convert to Linux, use his Palm
LifeDrive. I don't have a Palm device, so I have no experience, and this
problem/thread is not helping me figure which end is up.
Thanks in advance,
pj
