Maybe make that a second update.

Not really, I'll probably just make sure that the appropriate hal-info is
already pushed before pushing pilot-link to stable, or manually withdraw it if
appropriate hal-info won't be pushed simultaneously.

Right.

That would be the plan, yes.

Yep, it concerns me, I can definitely reproduce the hal crash, so I had to -1
karma points, also as I point out on bug #452701 comment #5
hal-info-20080607-2.fc8 doesn't appear to contain the 10-usb-pda-palm.fdi file
in any case, which was the whole point of the update (at least from the point of
view of pilot-link users).

Perhaps we should think about reintroducing it back into the pilot-link package
 if the hal problems persist so we can at least get this out.
