What is the future, if any, of DeviceKit on Gentoo? Upstream's release notes for version 003 (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2009-March/000123.html) say, "This is probably the last release of DeviceKit. The functionality of DeviceKit is going to be merged into the udev-extras with the only changes being the D-Bus name as well as the prefix for the GObject library and the command line tool." Latest version of sys-fs/udev in ~x86 is 135-r4, but latest on kernel.org is 140. Does anyone know if that latest version obviates the need for DeviceKit on Gentoo? (In reply to comment #3) > What is the future, if any, of DeviceKit on Gentoo? This ebuild has been added to the GNOME overlay, and will be a part of GNOME 2.26 when it hits tree This bug is essentially fixed per previous comment. What about KDE users? And a migration guide? (In reply to comment #6) > What about KDE users? And a migration guide? > There's nothing to migrate, devicekit was essentially stateless (it just forwarded udev events on the system bus). |
