Yes, sorry - I haven't forgotten about it, but I haven't been able to find time for it yet. Realisticly seen, I probably won't be able to make it within the next 10 days. > On my side, I am still a bit concerned by the usefulness of this > series.

I agree that it is a tradeoff. In the worst case it can be handled in a post-build script. My own usecase was to use libinput for some keyboard/mouse/touchscreen handling on a small system and disliking the udevd dependency. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
