If we lose libconcord, we lose the ability to manage Harmony remotes, there's just no other way to do it (besides finding a Windows system). thanks! If anyone's interested I can point up exactly how it uses HAL (for hardware discovery, you will be unsurprised to learn), just poke me on or off list. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
