works fine here:

$ grep GPSD=y ../outputs/gpsd/.config
BR2_PACKAGE_GPSD=y

$ ls -l ../outputs/gpsd/target/usr/sbin/gpsd 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 test test 29696 Mar  9 07:47 ../outputs/gpsd/target/usr/sbin/gpsd

Not needed, there is a default value of "<pkgname>-<pkgversion>.tar.gz".

Not needed, the gpsd package download works.

Remember that removing a package in Buildroot doesn't do anything if
you don't restart the build from scratch.

Could you start a completely fresh build, with gpsd enabled, and post
the full build log somewhere, as well as the output of"find
output/target" ?

Another note: in your other post concerning Python and readline, I saw
that you use Buildroot as the root user. Don't do that. Use Buildroot
as a regular user.

Regards,

Thomas
