Bug 158114 – Nuking udev-useflag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matthias Schwarzott 2006-12-14 02:22:46 UTC]

Well, in a discussion in #gentoo-dev, dberholz convinced me that udev-useflag should be nuked (at least in its usage to just install a udev-rules file).

This is to prevent large rebuilds just for installing a (some) simple/small text files.

That is the list of users jakub provided:

lirc and libgphoto2 done.

well, in media-gfx/iscan, I either install hotplug-rules *or* udev-rules, but not both. Installing hotplug-rules depends on hotplug-base, installing udev-rules depends on a somewhat new sys-fs/udev. How should I handle this?

Somewhat new being >=087 ? Well, current stable 103 on majority of arches, and 087-r1 everywhere. Any major reason why not just drop the hotplug part?

[Comment 4 Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2006-12-14 05:47:37 UTC]

ok, then I drop hotplug at all.

[Comment 11 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2007-02-10 22:38:41 UTC]

fixed all remaining ebuilds and removed it from use.local.desc. 

Still some default udev use flags are left in profiles/

[Comment 12 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-02-12 16:19:59 UTC]

"some" ?

Anyway, I've removed udev from the default USE and from use.mask on all profiles where it was used.

You forgot about:
