Udev Extras (from eudev)

Introduction to Udev Extras

Eudev was indeed installed in LFS and there is no reason to reinstall it unless the user is going to install a package such as UPower that needs libgudev. These instructions enable building libgudev and also optionally create gir data for Eudev.

Unlike other packages in BLFS, there is no set version of Eudev in this page's title and no set version specified for download. Version updates to Eudev makes it possible that the user's system may have an Eudev version different from the one in the current LFS book. Therefore, users should use the version of Eudev their computer currently uses. With few exceptions, the BLFS team has no experience updating (or reverting to an older version) the Eudev package “on the fly”.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.
