right! Stick your neck out -- propose a name. educontrollerboards-udev?

Does it matter? It's actually
controller-boards-that-are-driven-by-multiple-libs . That's the "job
description" of this rpm. No user will ever install it. Packages will
depend on it to avoid a conflict.

Unfortunately, I don't belong to the robotics field. You ask me to
solve an impossible riddle, in a foreign field, before we can talk
about a package for a 10 line file.

I am working to ensure that for some interesting boards there are
multiple libraries that can drive them; so they all coexist. Several
long-term Fedorans recommended this "udevrules" package approach.

It's sensible, it's practical, and it's merely a means to keep things
simple and straightforward. Again, users won't normally install or
care about this rpm, and it's a 10 line file. I'm already laughing the
idea of a package for a single 10 line file.

cheers,
