I quickly discussed this with Peter on IRC, and we both agreed we
didn't like these direct dependencies.
One solution I suggested is to do something like this:
- Introduce some hidden boolean like BR2_SYSTEM_NEEDS_XATTR_FS (or
some better name)
- Have libselinux select this
- Have the filesystems that don't support xattr have a depends on
!BR2_SYSTEM_NEEDS_XATTR_FS.
I'm just not sure about where to define BR2_SYSTEM_NEEDS_XATTR_FS, and
I'm not sure about the naming. Should it be in fs/Config.in? In
system/Config.in?
Best regards,
Thomas
