hotplug-ng-002.ebuild

ebuild for hotplug-ng. This is an alternative to hotplug-base.

Heh, well, I like it, but we still need more work on these before I want
to see them in gentoo (work on the hotplug-ng code, not on the ebuild, it's
fine.)

[Comment 3 Philip Kovacs 2005-07-04 16:16:39 UTC]

curious, is is not true that hotplug's dependency on hotplug-base is unneeded
for udev systems where /sbin/udevsend is the hotplug agent?  hotplug-base is
little more than just the /bin/hotplug agent which seems to be rendered obsolete
with newer udev versions.   

[Comment 4 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2005-07-04 16:31:54 UTC]

Yes, as per comment #3, that is correct.

[Comment 5 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2005-08-11 16:23:24 UTC]

hotplug-ng is obsolete, we will not add a ebuild for it.  udev does it all now.
