[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#580291: Please stop using hal

[Michael Biebl]

Package: libgphoto2-port0
Version: 2.4.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

hal is being deprecated and we eventually want to get rid of it [1].

Apparently the necessary upstream changes were already committed [2].
It would be nice to see those changes make it into Debian.

Cheers,
Michael
