Yes, that was fixing a separate bug to get Zire 22s working (bz 431498).
It still contained the broken .fdi. Not really sure why it was pushed
out.

That build sets access policy directly by USB VID/PID (which works, but
leaves identification of Palms - both libusb and visor - across multiple
files).

I've since split out the "information" VID/PID matching bit,
cross-checked it against the VID/PIDs pilot-link recognises, and pushed
it upstream to hal. So what we now need is a new build of hal-info, then
a rebuild of pilot-link to use the newer 19-palm-acl-management.fdi

See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=280251#c120

Eventually I'd like to push 19-palm-acl-management.fdi and
pilot-device-file.policy upstream to pilot-link.

kev.
