Hi Bastien,

Thanks for the patch.  I have few comments. See below.

rasdaemon seems to use unconditionally threads. See:
https://github.com/mchehab/rasdaemon/blob/v0.8.4/ras-events.h#L10

So you probably miss here a "depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS".
The Config.in comment also needs to be updated at the end of the file.

SQLite is an optional dependency. See:
https://github.com/mchehab/rasdaemon/blob/v0.8.4/configure.ac#L28

So you don't need to select BR2_PACKAGE_SQLITE here, and you could
preferably have in the .mk file something like:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_SQLITE),y)
RASDAEMON_CONF_OPTS += --enable-sqlite3
RASDAEMON_DEPENDENCIES += sqlite
else
RASDAEMON_CONF_OPTS += --disable-sqlite3
endif

Could format the help string like other Buildroot packages,
please?

You should have a blank line, followed by just the homepage url:

https://github.com/mchehab/rasdaemon

The comment should become:
comment "rasdaemon needs a toolchain w/ threads, dynamic library"

> +	depends on BR2_STATIC_LIBS

Here the condition should become:
depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS || BR2_STATIC_LIBS

The "sqlite" dependency could be removed and added in a conditional
block, as I suggested.

Could you send an updated patch, please?

Best regards,
