Hello All!
Big fat warning: this is only an RFC for now!
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 anudev daemon. That's the case for e.g. libinput, libcec,
mesa3d...
The series contains:
- a patch to remove a spurious dependency on udev for XBMC
- three patches to fix generating the list of virtual packages for
the manual
- two patches to remove the prompts of eudev and systemd, since
they are never user-selectable; a bit of cleanup is done in the
dependencies as well
- a patch to intrduce the libudev virtual package
- two patches to add libudev providers: eudev and systemd
- a patch to make eudev only build libudev if /dev management is
handled by neither eudev nor systemd
- ten patches to convert packages to depend on libusb instead of a
udev daemon
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.
Also, the converted packages have not been tested, not even build-tested;
this is just an RFC to validate the overal solution for now.
On your keyboards, get set, ready... Comment! :-)
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.
