This is to support external programs depending on this library. Currently, it's difficult to untangle the libvolume_id build from the rest of udev. There are two situations where this has come up that seemed important to me. * GNOME jhbuild/garnome adding the external HAL dependency used in many programs and not knowing how to handle HAL's dependency on libvolume_id. I'm sure David can tell you the flames he endured. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-September/msg00268.html They've since solved that problem (I think), but it could have been much easier. * The mount programs from util-linux-ng can now use libvolume_id. For distros, this isn't really a problem since you can just Require: libvolume_id-devel, but for common folk it could be much easier. -- Dan Makefile | 17 +++++++++++++++++ README | 5 +++++ extras/volume_id/lib/Makefile | 14 ++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
