Hi fellow devs! |

| 3 |
One thing that annoys me since some time are packages pulling in |
| 4 |
sys-apps/hotplug unconditionally. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
How should the dependencies on hotplug/hotplug-base and udev be managed: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Some problems with current tree: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The problem with hotplug is, that it breaks in combination with udev-103 in |
| 11 |
several ways. |
| 12 |
One known to me is firmware-loading. |

Some ebuilds depending on hotplug (incomplete list): |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
DEPEND="sys-apps/hotplug" |
| 20 |
net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware |
| 21 |
net-wireless/acx-firmware |
| 22 |
net-wireless/atmel-firmware |
| 23 |
media-libs/libgphoto2 |
| 24 |
sys-apps/hal |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
DEPEND="|| ( sys-fs/udev sys-apps/hotplug )" |
| 27 |
./app-emulation/xen-tools |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
DEPEND="|| ( >=sys-fs/udev-103 sys-apps/hotplug )" |
| 30 |
./media-tv/wis-go7007 |

|
| 32 |
DEPEND="|| ( >=sys-fs/udev-096 >=sys-apps/hotplug-20040923 )" |
| 33 |
net-wireless/zd1211-firmware |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
DEPEND="udev? ( >=sys-fs/udev-068 ) !udev? ( >=sys-apps/hotplug-20040920 )" |
| 36 |
sys-apps/pcmciautils |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|

|

|
| 41 |
Some more problems (minor ones, but even more confusing to users): |
| 42 |
It installs files not used but confusing users like /etc/hotplug/blacklist. |
| 43 |
Bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130766 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
It creates empty /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware that is no longer used |
| 46 |
(now: /lib/firmware) |
