Ben de Groot posted on Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:06:29 +0800 as excerpted: For now udev is still usable without systemd, even tho upstream is making it difficult to build udev separately (and avoid unnecessary build-time dependencies). Upstream is also unwilling to work with us to make this easier.

I doubt that most people consider udev's stand-alone build-time a big issue. The real issue is not the build-time but the dependencies needed at build-time (and in future versions perhaps also at run-time): Currently, these are essentially libcap and dbus. Now that some projects (e.g. hardened

[gentoo-dev] prune_libtool_files() and pkg-config dependency

2012-08-29 Thread Michał Górny
Hello, fellow developers. I'd like to note that the prune_libtool_files() in eutils.eclass has a pretty specific dependency on pkg-config. Whenever it is used in an ebuild, it should depend on virtual/pkgconfig if all of the following conditions are met: 1. The ebuild installs at least a single
