Project Gentopia

Cardoe wrote this at around evening time:

Well as a follow on to yesterday’s post. I’ve talked to npmcallum and then with genstef about dbus & hal stuff and we’ve decided to create Project Gentopia. Which will basically be the support group for anything and everything dbus and hal related.

Project Utopia is the name for the aggregation and integration of a number of projects centrered on autodetecting and autoloading drivers for computer hardware (particulary hot-swappable hardware such as USB and IEEE 1394 (aka. “Firewire”) devices).

More info from a kerneltrap post written by Robert Love.

    Hey,

    As former ivman maintainer/project leader and Utopia-addict, I think this is a great project, and could offer a lot of potential to Gentoo :-)
    I wish you guys good luck with the project! And if sometime I could give a little hand, genstef knows where to find me :-)

    Regards,
    Ikke

    FYI, I’ve just finished modifying Ivman ( http://ivman.sourceforge.net/ ) to use pmount, and I now have a HAL 0.5.x system without fstab-sync with working automounting & acpid functionality :-)
