[RFC][PATCH] udev: add udev-utils to RDEPENDS

[RFC][PATCH] udev: add udev-utils to RDEPENDS

[David Nyström]

An intended fix for below error message with core-image-lsb, 
Sending this as an RFC since I dont really know what constitutes 
a RRECOMMENDS vs. RDEPENDS. 
Is this clearly defined somewhere ?
Below should be an RDEPENDS, no ?

Does this actually fix the problem though? An RRECOMMENDS would only not be 
satisfied if the package ended up empty, or you were using BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS 
(or NO_RECOMMENDATIONS). I can't see this change actually accomplishing 
anything.

Thanks for the quick reply,
I was using --no-recommends, via the opkg package-manager. 
(rootfs-sandbox).

Regarding the split between RRECOMMENDS and RDEPENDS:
In my understanding, RRECOMMENDS would be when the functionality is 
optional,
RDEPENDS when dependency is hard.

To me, this seems like a hard dependency. But a definition between the 
two would be good to have
for future patches.

Br,
David

Don't forget on RSUGGESTS :)

RDEPENDS - hard dependency
RRECOMMENDS - optional dependency, but good to have in most cases by
default unless it's unavailable (e.g. typical for kernel-modules-*) or
distro/user knows what he is doing and decides to add it in
BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS or removes is on target explicitly
RSUGGESTS - really optional dependency

That depends (ha ha) on what the udevadm call in question is actually
doing.  If udev is so badly broken without it as to be unusable then
yes, it should be an RDEPENDS.  If udev will still work without then
RRECOMMENDS is appropriate and the initscript should be tweaked to deal
with it.

SNIP

Does this classify as essential ?

If essential, we either need to move udev-utils to RDEPENDS.
If not essential, fix the script to detect if udevadm is available.

Hi All,

I think it's essential.
Without 'udevadm trigger --action=add', the system start-up process may 
have some problem. I can recall that once I removed this line from the 
init scripts in my live image, the image could not boot up correctly.

I think this patch is reasonable and I'd like to acknowledge it.

Best Regards,
Chen Qi

If it's that essential, then we should incude udevadm in the udev 
package directly and not have a 1 file package for udev-utils at all.

v2 patch welcome

This only happens in sysv mode.

Only for sysv based systemd, for systemd based systems it isn't needed. So please confine your change to sysv.
