Not really a dependency. Just use it if it is found. > how does lk find the daemon? Sounds like an awful lot of > policy for a library, The standard way is to use a specific socket (or device). I don't see much policy. Just the path of a socket such as /var/run/rkd or /dev/rkd. > and I'm not crazy about having another install target. This can be independent of libkarma.

I tend to agree with you in this point, but I am still a bit unhappy with (USB/OMFS-)lkarmafs. As Keith pointed aout some time ago, it would be a nice option for lkarmafs to allow working with essentially an unbound and unmounted interface and just do the bind and mount when necessary. This could even permit having the RK accessible at the same time through both the net and the usb interfaces. I don't find a clean way to achive this without putting some of the functionality in libkarma proper. But if you have some ideas, I'd be happy to hear....
