gnome-settings-daemon is the only package that installs udev rules to /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/ (instead of /lib/udev/rules.d) % qfile /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gnome-settings-daemon-rfkill.rules gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon (/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gnome-settings-daemon-rfkill.rules) % pkg-config --variable=udevdir udev /lib/udev the makefile doesn't use pkg-config for udevrulesdir see https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/rfkill/Makefile.am#n62 gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-3.12.1 was built with the following: USE="colord cups policykit short-touchpad-timeout udev -debug -i18n (-openrc-force) (-packagekit) -smartcard -test" INPUT_DEVICES="-wacom"
I have seen all distros are happy with it living in /usr... @udev, can you explain me the reasoning for installing it in / and what is the proper way to do so? (to report to upstream and be able to explain them the reasoning, otherwise I guess they won't want to make the build system more complicated without a clear gain) Thanks

so something like... inherit udev and in src_install(): emake DESTDIR="${D}" udevrulesdir="$(get_udevdir)"/rules.d install i'm sure you can figure rest :)

This seems to be a problem again. Tested 3.20.1 and ~3.22.1.
(In reply to Matt Turner from comment #5) > This seems to be a problem again. Tested 3.20.1 and ~3.22.1. Yes, due to EAPI bump. I've already filed bug 606826
yeah, it's better explain in the other bug report (is due to a different issue than this original one)
