Sounds cool. Boots fine here. :)

I've switched a few int to unsigned int, to silent some gcc warnings,
merged the few entries in queue-private.h just into libudev-private.h,
moved the file format comments to the C file, renamed the
seqnums_are_finished() to seqnum_sequence_is_finished() and exported
it, bumped the minor version of libudev, and comitted it.

Would be great, if you can check, that I didn't mess it up. :)

Thanks a lot,
Kay

Wow, thanks! I checked the delta. I don't see any problems in these changes.


I only see one warning myself

lib/libudev-queue-export.c:143: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned

142 n = seqnum - udev_queue_export->seqnum_max;
143 if (n >= devpaths->devpaths_size)
144        goto read_error;

Arguably it _might_ be better addressed in this one place, by casting devpaths_size to unsigned. It seems to be a matter of personal taste though, and I'm not complaining.


I have an unverifiable memory of reading "unsigned int i is evil" on LKML. Half the internet says unsigned has relatively special semantics (intended for e.g. bit manipulation), you should avoid it unless that's what you actually need, and size_t should never have been defined as unsigned. Of course, the other half advocate using unsigned liberally to exclude negative values when passing array indexes around :-).
