I'm sorry, I can't. Virtual packages seem to be missing in the documentation. :-/ However, if you are new to ptxdist you should read the documentation first. It's not that long, but it should give you a good overview over the concepts. > Yeah, I have compared rules/libblkid.in and rules/udev.in to the current > master and it seems that our files are outdated, I will patch them and try > again.

If I suggested you should upgrade, you will probably say you can't, won't you? ;-) What I found on virtual packages in the Git history: * c211a8d9981bd3f2c0e59c39bb16ab7ca8ace734 introduced virtual packages without a corresponding makefile. That landed in ptxdist 2017.12.0. * libblkid was marked as VIRTUAL in bd19a02631e16f0570b03ca68c1a97025c17c1fe, which landed in ptxdist 2016.05.0. * virtual packages in general seem to exist much longer, if I read correctly since 2003, when ptxdist still used subversion instead of git. * b9de6f83c3e0fa65d00749ad2f122a00d977e01a added the virtual package libblkid, that landed in ptxdist 2010.03.0. Maybe you want to look at that version a little closer when trying to backport things. HTH & Greets Alex _______________________________________________ ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de
