Description Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2012-04-23 20:27:39 UTC 
non linux doesnt mean prefix; from the ebuild:

RDEPEND="...
!prefix? ( >=sys-fs/udev-164-r2 )
..."

econf ... $(use_enable !prefix udev)


can i haz a more controlable variable that i can mask plz ?
Comment 1 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2012-04-23 20:30:43 UTC 
e.g. tight this to the udev useflag or add a udevcore useflag that you enable by puting it in profiles/base/package.use.force so that others can disable it
Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-24 03:45:47 UTC 
Fixed, the udev USE flag now controls everything. Prefix installations should still work since udev is use.masked on prefix.

Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-24 10:23:43 UTC 
If we put it behind the udev useflag, we should make it clear to linux based users that disabling it is not supported, at least from upstream standpoint which is often ours.

Why not? If you disable udev, gvfs loses the ability to handle any sort of removable media or determine mounts and devices for files outside of your home directory. However, network mounts, for instance, should still work fine.
