HAL is a hardware abstraction layer whose goal is to merge information from
various sources such that desktop applications can locate and use hardware
devices. The point is that the exact set of information to merge varies by
device and bus type.

Remove hal
Hal has been introduced as part of the Gnome2 desktop and used in many
desktop application as an abstraction on the hardware layer, it has been quickly
deprecated, but alternatives took time to land in freebsd.
In most cases alternatives are now in place or upstreams dropped entirely
support for
HAL.
As a result it is time to retire HAL
Clean up ARCH statement.
ia64 is no longer supported. In addition, ARCH values do not need to

For example (${OSVERSION} >= 900000 && ${OSVERSION} < 900021) is always true,
as is (${OSVERSION} > 900002 || ${OSVERSION} < 900000 && ${OSVERSION} > 800107).

sysutils/hal: Adjust pkg-plist so it passes stage-qa and leftover checks
Hal was not passing poudriere testport or poudriere bulk -t runs due
to failing the stage-qa tests and later a leftover check with
/var/lib/PolicyKit/user-haldaemon.auths. The reported error is actually
not wrong, but rather an inadequacy in the check-plist logic. However,
hald is a dependency for a lot of ports and it keeps breaking bulk -t
runs, so I switched "@unexec rm -rf" to "@unexec rmdir" to that it would
build cleanly in poudriere (gnome@ had fair warning!). If the check-plist
logic is improved in the future, this can be changed back to the better
"rm -rf" command then.
While here, stop trying to remove directories that PolicyKit installed
because this will always fail. This clears up stage-qa warnings.

When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la
exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking.
This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.
So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the

when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

Presenting GNOME 2.30.1 for FreeBSD. The offical release notes for this
release can be found at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.30/ .
This release brings initial PackageKit support, Upower (replaces power
management part of hal), cuse4bsd integration with HAL and cheese, and a
faster Evolution.
Sadly GNOME 2.30.x will be the last release with FreeBSD 6.X support. This
will also be the last of the 2.x releases. The next release will be the
highly-anticipated GNOME 3.0 which will bring with it a new UI experience.
Currently, there are a few bugs with GNOME 2.30 that may be of note for our
users. Be sure to consult the UPGRADING note or the 2.30 upgrade FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq230.html for specific upgrading
instructions, and the up-to-date list of known issues.

Presenting GNOME 2.28.1 for FreeBSD. The official release notes for this
release can be found at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/ .
Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation for GNOME 3.0
due in about a year.
On the FreeBSD front, though, a lot went into this release. Major thanks
goes to kwm and avl who did a lot of the porting work for this release.
In particular, kwm brought in Evolution MAPI support for better Microsoft
Exchange integration. Avl made sure that the new gobject introspection
repository ports were nicely compartmentalized so that large dependencies
aren't brought in wholesale.
But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself)
contributed to this release.

Add support to create users and groups from information stored in UIDs/GIDs

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
