At least Gentoo and Exherbo have been doing that for years. At Exherbo, we do a lot of sanity checks before we move things from DESTDIR to the live fs so don't worry, we don't need to be aided by upstreams at that. :-) >>> 4) Can be maintained out of tree for now: Nothing prevents gentoo from >>> keeping this patch out of tree for their purposes. >> Yes, we could, but what about exherbo, funtoo, linux from scratch and >> the other source based distros that may be out there? > they could pull the patch from gentoo's repository. We at Exherbo try very hard to avoid any downstream-only patches in order to avoid fragmentation and errors introduced by us (or any third-party). This ensures that we're usually very, very near to what upstreams expect (and support). > I think this patch would be a lot more acceptable if you drop the split > Makefile.am, remove the --disable-systemd option and just create an extra > "make install-udev" target. > It would be a lot smaller too. And it would mostly defeat the purpose. The only remaining benefit would be avoiding the need to manually sort things out. -- Best regards, Wulf _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
