Subject: slim: should start after hal

Date: Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:19:50 +0100

Package: slim
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: normal

When using xserver 1.5 (in experimental), xorg relies on hal to provide
configuration for mouse and keyboard. So X needs to be started *after* hal
for it to work, and thus slim should request that in its initscript, by
adding “hal” to the Should-Start line.

Cheers,

Subject: Package slim has been removed from Debian

Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:41:18 +0100

Version: 1.3.0-2+rm

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/507440 in Debian BTS
against the package slim. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/538921. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
