[Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] Separating gudev from systemd]

[Bastien Nocera <hadess hadess net>]

This is 2 years old, but was never announced on GNOME mailing-lists.

If you develop software which uses libgudev, please modify your sources
accordingly.

Cheers

Hi

We're about to remove gudev from the systemd repository, as it is in
no way related to the systemd code-base, nor used by the systemd
project. To preserve backwards compatibility, gudev was extracted into
a separate repository and is now managed on gnome.org:

    Homepage: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/libgudev
    Bugtracker: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=libgudev
    Releases: http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgudev/
    Repository: http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgudev/

    ArchLinux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/li/libgudev/PKGBUILD
    Others: TBD

The new libgudev project is binary-compatible to gudev as provided by
systemd-219. Distributions are encouraged to pass --disable-gudev to
systemd and provide gudev via the libgudev project. We haven't decided
at which point gudev will be dropped from the systemd repository, but
chances are systemd-221 will not include it, anymore.

If there are any issues, please let me know.

Thanks
David
