[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 0/3] WIP: package/eudev: Split libudev and daemon

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Bernd, All,

On 2014-06-11 19:41 +0200, Bernd Kuhls spake thusly:

Nope, the other way around.

We want to keep _HAS_UDEV to still mean "has a udev daemon", to support
legacy .config files.

We can introduce a new _HAS_LIBUDEV however.

And... I am working on this. I know you are present on IRC, but since
you do not seem to look at your IRC client (or it is not notifying you
when we ping you), it's difficult to synchronise with you.

As I said in my reply to your previous libudev patch:
  "I'll have a look at it tonight (UTC+2)." (which is basically "now").
  "I'll see what I can come up with."

Of course, we appreciate your new submission, hopefully it will make my
life easier. ;-)

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
