Description Benedikt Reinartz 2012-12-11 09:45:17 UTC
The following packages on my system depend on sys-fs/udev directly, maybe it's a good idea to just collect all of them in this bug:

media-video/isight-firmware-tools
net-wireless/bluez
media-gfx/shotwell

There is already a bug (#446032) for

net-wireless/i2400m-fw

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install eudev instead of udev
2. Try to depclean the system
Actual Results:  
Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to the following required packages not being installed: …

Expected Results:  
Should depclean cleanly.

This is very very well known and we have methods for finding out the culprits.

http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/dindex/sys-fs/udev
http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/sys-fs/udev

cd $gentoo-x86-directory
grep -r sys-fs/udev */*/*.ebuild

and so forth, this is an ongoing effort. there is really no need for this bug.

as in, this but might be appropiate if things aren't sorted out by the end of this year. as in, give it two weeks or so. reporting the known culprits doesn't help the migration itself.

if you have patches to convert stuff from 'has_version sys-fs/udev &&' type of code to udev.eclass, you can of course file those bugs with patches, that actually helps.
