Re: [ptxdist] libblkid

Thanks for replying so fast.
Could you give me a brief explanation of virtual packages (or a link)?

Could you explain a bit more in detail why a rules/libblkid.make isn't required?
AFAIK libkmod has a rules/libkmod.in and a rules/libkmod.make,
don't know the reason why it does, just pointing it out.

Yeah, I have compared rules/libblkid.in and rules/udev.in to the current master
and it seems that our files are outdated, I will patch them and try again.
I am pretty embarrassed by the version of ptxdist that we use for our project
it says 1.99.20, since this is a big corporation, things don't really get updated
as frequently as they should and I don't have the authority to demand the upgrade.
Basically I have to work with what I have, but I am not losing faith!!!

So udev seems to require libblkid, but for some reason no suitable libblkid is built before compiling udev.

This may get interesting, because both libblkid and udev are virtual packages (which lack documentation)?

No.

Neither to me. In ptxdist master UDEV_LEGACY selects (the virtual) LIBBLKID and SYSTEMD also selects LIBBLKID. LIBBLKID itself selects UTIL_LINUX_NG and UTIL_LINUX_NG_LIBBLKID. So that all looks good to me.

Which ptxdist version are you using? Did you compare the rules/libblkid.in and rules/udev.in to current master?
