| vivien | Hello! I’m trying to update eudev from 3.2.11 to 3.2.12, for Guix, and I noticed udevadm hwdb --update now updates /etc/udev/hwdb.bin instead of <prefix>/etc/udev/hwdb.bin. I can use --root=<prefix>, to write <prefix>/etc/udev/hwdb.bin (previously it would be <prefix>/<prefix>/etc/udev/hwdb.bin) but then the hwdb.bin file is suspiciously small. Am I doing it correctly? | 08:04 |
|---|---|---|
| bb|hcb | vivien: I just tried and it produces a 9.7MB file; sounds like eudev does not see /lib/udev/hwdb.d/* ? | 12:36 |
| vivien | bb|hcb, thanks. There is no /lib/udev/hwdb.d. I have <prefix>/etc/udev/hwdb.d however, containing the bunch of .hwdb files. Is it possible to use these? | 13:03 |
| bb|hcb | The ones in etc are expected to be user provided, the ones in /usr/lib are the default set coming with eudev | 13:06 |
| bb|hcb | I have no idea what is the filesystem layout in Guix, but as long as eudev is configured to find those files, it will be ok | 13:09 |
| vivien | bb|hcb, but Makefile.am installs the eudev-distributed files under "udevhwdbdir", which expands to ${sysconfdir}/udev/hwdb.d | 13:10 |
| vivien | Should I move them to /lib/udev/hwdb.d after installation? | 13:11 |
| vivien | Oh I guess eudev suggests some files and I have to make the decision to allow them or not | 13:14 |
| Arsen | 21:05:55 <dormito> anyone have any links/docs for what this "sticky tags API" is (I found the eudev issue for it, but it doesn't seem to discus what the API actually is or does)? | 13:17 |
| Arsen | the udev docs | 13:17 |
| vivien | bb|hcb, thank you, I built the hwdb with --usr so that it generated /lib/udev/hwdb.bin and then used that one. | 13:22 |
