Hello, all. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Since nowadays udev is bundled within systemd, we start having two |
| 4 |
libudev providers: >=sys-apps/systemd-185 and sys-fs/udev. Making |
| 5 |
the long story short, I would like to introduce a virtual for libudev |
| 6 |
which would pull in either of those two. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
There are three USE flags used in conditionals when depending on udev: |
| 9 |
- gudev - for glib wrapper on udev, |
| 10 |
- hwdb - to pull in hwids, |
| 11 |
- static-libs. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The former two were previously provided by 'extras' USE flag, |
| 14 |
and the third was unconditional. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I'm attaching an example virtual/libudev which does the job. Sadly, |
| 17 |
because of the 'extras' compatibility it's a big ugly conditional. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
An alternative would be to provide separate virtual/libudev |
| 20 |
and virtual/libgudev; and maybe changing ebuilds not to depend on |
| 21 |
[hwids] but rather pull in sys-apps/hwids directly (since that's what |
| 22 |
the flag does). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What are you thoughts? |
