Udev-143

[Matthew Burgess]

New version. Changes are described in NEWS in the tarball, and nicely summarized by William Immendorf at ​http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2009-June/062886.html.

I made some comments in response to the linked thread, but they don't appear to be in the archives. Not sure why, but I'll repeat the useful ones here:

• Read the INSTALL file to find out how to configure it now; this has changed. Obviously *lib64 isn't correct for us, but that's easy enough to fix.

• Be sure to add --disable-extras, since otherwise it requires several other libraries that don't exist in LFS (and IMO shouldn't). These are used by some new /lib/udev/* scripts (merged from the udev-extras repository, which no longer exists), but we don't care about any of them. :-)

• There are compile-time requirements for glibc and kernel headers now, but chapter 6 meets all of them, so it's fine.

I'll be running a couple tests on this version later today (weather permitting; it's been really hot here lately, so I've been turning this machine off...).

Also, a comment from Gilles Espinasse at ​http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2009-June/062920.html

chap 6.56.1 say
This package does not come with a test suite.

Appendix C say
Udev
Installation depends on: Binutils, Coreutils, GCC, Glibc, and Make
Test suite depends on: Findutils, Perl, and Sed
Must be installed before: None

Looks like we need to remove the "test suite depends on" at some point, since udev doesn't have one anymore.

Fixed in r8947. Sorry Matthew, but I figured as long as I was testing it out anyway, I might as well commit what I had put together. :-)

(Note that this still doesn't fix the util-linux-ng / e2fsprogs blkid stuff. But that's coming along as well; util-linux-ng just released a 2.16-rc1.)
