libevdev-1.5.1

[bdubbs@…]

New point version

[bdubbs@…]

The released tarball is missing include/linux/uinput.h

I reported it upstream. We could add a patch, but I will wait a couple of days to see it they fix it.

What's the issue with missing uinput.h?

[bdubbs@…]

Just that. It is not in the tarball. I got it from git. My md5sum is

5f8bc2c746bfbc9454143f78e5b477a9 libinput-1.3.0.tar.xz

If it is not missing in your tarball, they may have done a stealth update.

It's missing here too, but it compiles fine. Which is why I've asked what's the issue.

FYI, I've sent a patch to fix the missing file, but don't expect it fixed before Monday.

It fails to build.

Ah, I suppose you have an older version of linux-api-headers installed. Mine is 4.5, which is up to par with upstream's uinput.h, which explains why I am able to build the package.

[Armin K]

You can expect a new version later today: ​https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/input-tools/2016-May/001300.html

Thanks. I looked a few minutes ago and it wasn't there yet, but I imagine I can get it later tonight or tomorrow.

[bdubbs@…]

Now at version 1.5.1. Builds and works fine with 4.4.2 kernel.
