Patch [1] disables the build of all essential helper progs like ata_id, usb_id etc. if --disable-extras is used, even though the excluded programs do _not_ depend on special libraries. Not installing these programs renders udev mostly useless because many installed rules are using e.g. usb_id. I'd suggest to revert patch [1]. regards Juergen [1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=905818f5961446ac32d1b2d165185fffddc4915a -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@xxxxxx Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
