Hello,

Thanks for this work, very useful!

I think this change could be a separate patch, no? Or is the udevadm
binary installed by host-systemd conflicting with the one installed by
host-eudev ?

Should be explained in the commit log.

We normally have both meson-package and host-meson-package macro
invocations at the end of .mk files.

This should really be:

	--prefix=$(HOST_DIR)

But in fact, all these options are already passed by the
host-meson-package infrastructure. Why are you overriding them ?

rpatch -> rpath

vial -> via

LD_FLAGS -> LDFLAGS

I must admit I don't really understand what's going on here. Can't you
simply do something like this:

HOST_SYSTEMD_CONF_ENV = \
	LDFLAGS="$(HOST_LDFLAGS) -Wl,-rpath,$(HOST_DIR)/lib/systemd"

and that's it ?

Space after #, and lines are too long.

With the correct --prefix=$(HOST_DIR) passed by the default
host-meson-package infrastructure, this DESTDIR=$(HOST_DIR) should no
longer be necessary.

Thanks!
