I thought of doing this switch once util-linux-ng 2.16 is released(15th july it was) then
this library would come from util-linux-ng for older ones let it
come from e2fsprogs-libs. It seems udev angstrom is using is quite latest. Anyway current
util-linux-ng recipes are broken too because they ask for this
library to be provided for all versions but it only appeared in
2.15 for first time.
so I think we wont be able to use any combination of util-linux-ng
and e2fsprogs-libs.
if a distro is using util-linux-ng older than 2.15 (nothing found in conf/ ) then it has to
get this library from e2fsprogs-libs. It there a way to say that in recipes or bitbake magic ?
If this looks viable that all distros use latest util-linux-ng
then we can stop providing it from e2fsprogs-libs,
if someone wanted to use utils-linux-ng < 2.15 then he gets no libblkid
opinions ?
