That is why you are reading this only now. |

To the point: |

There was a need for two new virtuals since udev has two libraries, each |
| 11 |
with their own SONAMEs. |
| 12 |
This is to get the benefits of automatic rebuilds to fix the breakage we |
| 13 |
saw with libudev.so.0 going away a while ago. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
You can now use: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
virtual/udev (without :=, no libraries) |
| 18 |
virtual/libgudev:= (with :=, for SONAME of libgudev-1.0.so.x) |
| 19 |
virtual/libudev:= (with :=, for SONAME of libudev.so.x) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
We have opened a Tracker bug 506034 [1] but this conversion is not time |
| 22 |
critical, and the virtuals haven't stabilized yet, plus we wanted to fix |
| 23 |
some (most) of the reverse deps on our own first before bothering with |
| 24 |
the bugs, as it's usually more time consuming to file bugs than just fix them |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
In case you receive such an bug at later date, and you don't want to be |
| 27 |
bothered about the change, just say so on the bug and the bug will be fixed for you. |
| 28 |
But it's really straighforward, if your package uses one of the libs, |
| 29 |
depend on the matching virtual, with the := in the end, otherwise it's virtual/udev |
| 30 |
you want, without any := since it's not for libraries. |
