Is that actually true? I thought the kernel just supplied the leafname that it wanted and the knowledge about what directory to search was encoded in the hotplug helper scripts. > This patch will break firmware loading. That might well be the case, though, unless the scripts have also been patched to respect ${base_libdir}. And, notwithstanding all the above, it's not entirely obvious that ${base_libdir} is semantically the right variable for things that aren't libraries. How does the udev recipe represent the patch to /lib/udev? p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
