Hi,

I was installing qemu-ga package to manage the VM hosting openwrt for proxmox when I noticed the package require libudev package dependency.

It looks like this package does not exist anymore and is replace by libudev-zero.

Does qemu-ga needs an update of its dependencies in openwrt installer ?

No.

github.com/openwrt/packages

libs/libudev-zero/Makefile

master


      
          PKG_BUILD_PARALLEL:=1
          
          include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk
          
          define Package/libudev-zero
            SECTION:=libs
            CATEGORY:=Libraries
            TITLE:=Drop-in replacement for libudev
            URL:=https://github.com/illiliti/libudev-zero
            DEPENDS:=+libevdev
            PROVIDES:=libudev
            CONFLICTS:=libudev eudev udev
          endef
          
          MAKE_FLAGS += \
          	PREFIX=/usr
          
          define Build/InstallDev
          	$(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/include
          	$(CP) $(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)/usr/include/libudev.h $(1)/usr/include/
          	$(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/lib

(libudev is/ has become a virtual package, provided e.g. by libudev-zero).

Maybe just an update on display ? it looks like a dependancy is missing.

Did you realize that you are looking at 22.03 instead of the current packages?
