Sweet. >What do you think? I think it's really nice. I have an additional feature request; it would be really nice to split udevinfo into a library too; that would give us the following benefits 1. Things like hald doesn't need to spawn a gazillion copies of udevinfo when doing it's coldplug thing; I think this was asked for earlier too. It sure beats reading the udev database directly which seems error prone at best, and it would be much much faster. 2. If you do changes to udevinfo it pretty much right now screws things depending on udev (we saw that around udev-013 IIRC); with a library you would bump the soname and depsolvers will refuse to upgrade. What do you think?
