Subject: [gentoo-project] Maintain original udev directory locations
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:02:46
Message-Id: 501FCD4E.9080806@gentoo.org
1 The udev situation is a mess. Directory locations are being changed and
2 there is no way for portage to fix things on people's systems. Most
3 recently, /lib/udev moved to /usr/lib/udev, against the advice of the
4 systemd developers. Now whenever a user's system is upgraded to the
5 newer udev, everything that installs files into that location breaks and
6 the cause is far from obvious.
7
8 Lets keep udev stuff in the original directories until portage is
9 capable of rebuilding packages that depend on certain system directory
10 locations being constant. I would like the council to vote on this matter.
