Hello All!
This series introduces the possibility to just build and install libudev,
without requiring that the /dev management be handled by eudev or systemd.
A lot of packages that have a dependency on udev, in fact only require a
libudev, not a udev daemon. That's the case for e.g. libinput, libcec,
mesa3d...
The series contains:
- a patch to fix generating the list of virtual packages for the manual
- three patches to introduce the libudev virtual package, and its
providers: eudev and systemd
- a patch to make eudev only build libudev if /dev management is
handled by neither eudev nor systemd
- four patches to convert packages to depend on libusb instead of a
udev daemon; those packages have been confirmed by Bernd to indeed
only need libudev and not a udev daemon
- five RFC patches to convert packages we are not sure whether they
would be happy with only a libudev, and which would need run-time
testing to check
Not all packages that reference udev have been switched over to depend
on libudev, though, since it is unclear to me whether they require a
udev daemon, or would be happy with just libudev.
On your keyboards, get set, ready... Comment! :-)
Changes v3 -> v4:
- do not remove the prompts for eudev and systemd (Thomas P.)
- patch to convert xserver_xorg-server dropped (Bernd)
Changes RFCv2 -> v3:
- some typoes (Samuel)
- misc fixes in gen-manual-lists.py (Samuel)
Changes RFCv1 -> RFCv2:
- have eudev and systemd be providers for libudev, instead of having
udev be the provider (Thomas, on IRC)
- fix the manual lists after bugs were uncovered with the removal of
the eudev and systemd prompts
- convert some packages
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
