Udev 171 splits out the extras use flag into separate use flags. As a result, the ebuilds for this package need the following changes: sys-fs/udev[extras] needs to become: || ( >=sys-fs/udev-171[useflag] >= sys-fs/udev145[extras] ) "useflag" in this example should be replaced with whatever the use flag is for udev-171 that your package needs. This should not require a revbump since we are just modifying use flags.
Not really sure why this needs USE=extras. The only thing that seems obvious is rule_generator, any opinions/tests? (especially you, Adrian, you seem to be interested ;)
Are there any updates on this? Thanks, William
Friendly ping? What is the status of this bug? There will be a new udev release soon and I do not want to continue carrying the extras use flag since it is not used upstream any longer. Thanks, William
fixed, I think. needs USE=hwdb for ids
