Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH v2 0/3] WIP: package/eudev: Split libudev and daemon

Bernd, All,

On 2014-06-11 19:41 +0200, Bernd Kuhls spake thusly:

Quoted 10 lines

in order to support a growing number of packages[1] depending on libudev, even when /dev is not managed by systemd/eudev, it is necessary to provide libudev as a stand-alone solution for systems which have BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_STATIC=y.

This patch series
- bumps eudev to 1.7
- integrates my older libudev package into eudev
- fixes mesa3d build error

Quoted 5 lines

Still to be discussed:
- should we keep BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV which now means libudev, and
- introduce BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV_DAEMON for packages needing the daemon, or

- introduce BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LIBUDEV and switch many packages over to this option

Nope, the other way around.

We want to keep _HAS_UDEV to still mean "has a udev daemon", to support legacy .config files.

We can introduce a new _HAS_LIBUDEV however.

And... I am working on this. I know you are present on IRC, but since you do not seem to look at your IRC client (or it is not notifying you when we ping you), it's difficult to synchronise with you.

As I said in my reply to your previous libudev patch:
"I'll have a look at it tonight (UTC+2)." (which is basically "now"). "I'll see what I can come up with."

Of course, we appreciate your new submission, hopefully it will make my life easier. ;-)

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
