Is that policy to drop hotplug stuff from Gentoo? Is udev will be a requirement for future layouts? Hmmm, I don't really understand what you are asking here? udev is required unless you maintain static /dev... plus USE="usb" tells us exactly zero about whether the user actually has udev installed or not. The /etc/hotplug stuff is completely useless on any udev system. If I understand correctly, there is an old preudev hotplug configuration... There are a lot of packages with usb USE flag that use it, one comes to mind libgphoto2... Are you sure nobody uses this interface? media-libs/libgphoto2 doesn't install any such stuff. The only two ebuilds that install anything to /etc/hotplug are this one and sci-geosciences/gpsd (Bug 210079). It will be completely unused on any udev-based system - udev doesn't use hotplug since 096 or so... OK. Removed hotplug stuff. Do you use this package? |
<snip> if use usb ; then insinto /etc/hotplug/usb doins etc/openct.usermap || die exeinto /etc/hotplug/usb newexe etc/openct_usb openct || die fi </snip> Well, that won't do anything useful without hotplug; in fact it won't do anything useful even with hotplug installed on udev systems, so USE=usb is a wrong check. I'd suggest to just completely drop this, the ebuild already installs udev rules and scripts anyway.
