Are you seriously suggesting hacking gpsd to runtime-detect the device
it's running on and auto-configure itself _just_ so you can point to
machine_id and make life for everyone a bit more difficult?

You can't expect people to hack apps just so the apps fit your holy
image of a "good" build environment, it is the other way around my
friend.

Please stop your trolling. Paul took the two minutes to think up some
understandable reasons for the change-request. Your mail, OTOH didn't
add any value at all to this thread, and is just wasted bandwidth, like
usual.

If I see any more of this trolling nonsense thrown my way, I will add
you to my killfile. I don't care what you think, what you say, or what
you write.
Very few people these days do take you seriously, that is something to
think about.
