We need the new blkid for udev and friends, so you'll break > angstrom with this changes. The right way is to kill the e2fsprogs one. > I thought of doing this switch once util-linux-ng 2.16 is released(15th july it was) then this library would come from util-linux-ng for older ones let it come from e2fsprogs-libs. It seems udev angstrom is using is quite latest. Anyway current util-linux-ng recipes are broken too because they ask for this library to be provided for all versions but it only appeared in 2.15 for first time. so I think we wont be able to use any combination of util-linux-ng and e2fsprogs-libs. if a distro is using util-linux-ng older than 2.15 (nothing found in conf/ ) then it has to get this library from e2fsprogs-libs. It there a way to say that in recipes or bitbake magic ? If this looks viable that all distros use latest util-linux-ng then we can stop providing it from e2fsprogs-libs, if someone wanted to use utils-linux-ng < 2.15 then he gets no libblkid opinions ?
