libgudev-238 FTBFS with eudev

[pierre]

libudev requirement is >=251, while eudev has 243. The problem is libgudev uses a feadure introduced in udev-247, see ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgudev/-/commit/0cfd33f0c1101b4a93c503cbda4274786a6d41e2

Putting severity as blocker, since this would block a release...

We might want to move to a libudev extracted from systemd, but let's see what eudev folks come with.

For reference, a link to an lfs ticket that has a patch for using systemd libudev: ​https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/4914

Also, gentoo ebuild: ​https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-apps/systemd-utils/systemd-utils-253.6.ebuild

But if we go this way, it has to be in an lfs ticket...

I'm thinking about creating a branch in LFS for that and giving it a try. It's a complicated procedure but I want to see if it can be cleaned up a bit as well.

We might be able to backport ​https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/3b684be04b95bd5264dff0f2af343c52b4dba86b to eudev, but I feel like that would only be a temporary fix

Opened up ​https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/5285 for converting LFS from eudev to libudev from systemd.

I built lfs using the LFS git branch xry111/systemd-udevd-for-sysv.

From a brand new boot I built:

I think we can close this ticket as soon as the systemd-udevd-for-sysv branch is merged into the LFS trunk,

Fixed in LFS.
