hal-removal for 5.0

just to avoid errors its good to plan and document this process

Package Status Who Link / Discussion / Bugreport
udev open udev rules maybe should be in /lib/udev/rules.d - because applications drop it there
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev
udev rules written by the administrator go in /etc/udev/rules.d/, their file name has to end with .rules. The udev rules shipped with various packages are found in /lib/udev/rules.d/. If there are two files by the same name under /lib and /etc, the ones in /etc take precedence. There is an error in the arch doku - because all rules are in /lib - /usr/lib/udev does not exits - corrected here but maybe not a must, because opensuse 12.2 still has the ude vrules still in /etc http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.udev.html
also useful - the gentoo doku (nvidia troubles) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
– Pankso note – Now udev (from version 182) is shipped in systemd source tree… so we will have a systemd package but split udev into a light package and by default last udev install all rules in /usr/lib/udev…
systemd open should replace init.d
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd - NO (at least not now) - Systemd will replace all our boot scripts and process! First our boot scripts are realy special, even not sysV and easily modifiable since ther pure shell scripts. Second systemd is a huge package for our base system (more than 5 Mb). Third, if we switch we must heavely customize it and have *.service file for each daemon (slim, lighttpd, etc). Last, systemd aims is to speed up boot time, but we alredy boot faster than sysV. If one want to see the amount of work before using systemd (even as replacement, not default), you can install it from undigest repo and add an entry to grub menu.list with init=/bin/systemd - Pankso
