If not, well the above ebuilds will have to go sooner or later. Plus sys-apps/fxload depends directly on hotplug, which makes both of the above ebuilds depend on it as well. udev handles firmware loading on it's own since 096 (see Bug 138126) and hotplug makes firmware loading pretty much broken (Bug 147006) mcs_gentoo@savigear.com 2007-01-15 22:55:00 0000 In terms of dependencies, it might be worth noting here that you need this to load the first stage of the firmware of Tascam USB soundcards (those using the snd_usb_usx2y driver) before using the alsa-tools usx2yloader for the second stage. There don't seem to be package dependencies around this usage, but removal of fxload from the tree will prevent the use of these sound cards - udev doesn't seem to cope on its own. jakub@gentoo.org 2007-01-16 09:38:26 0000 (In reply to comment #3) > There don't seem to be package dependencies around this usage, but removal of > fxload from the tree will prevent the use of these sound cards - udev doesn't > seem to cope on its own. Well, as said on this bug, the thing doesn't compile against linux-headers-2.6.19, which will eventually go stable. Plus it's totally dead upstream, has no Gentoo maintainer and the design sucks. :) Patches are welcome, otherwise it will become useless and die sooner or later. mcs_gentoo@savigear.com 2007-01-16 13:09:52 0000 Fair comment. I shall look at a patch when I can though I don't anticipate great success. In the meantime I will let the ALSA list know there might b an impending problem. zzam@gentoo.org 2007-01-24 10:24:38 0000 Removed dependency to sys-apps/hotplug. Fixed compilation (just need to change linux/usb.h to linux/usb_ch9.h)
