Description Harald Hoyer 2004-05-28 08:57:19 EDT

for a better initrd (with udev) it would be nice to also include devlabel.
with the attached patch this is possible to build with diet

%build
-gcc $RPM_OPT_FLAGS -o scsi_unique_id scsi_unique_id.c
-gcc $RPM_OPT_FLAGS -o partition_uuid -luuid partition_uuid.c
+diet gcc $RPM_OPT_FLAGS -o scsi_unique_id scsi_unique_id.c
+diet gcc $RPM_OPT_FLAGS -o partition_uuid partition_uuid.c -luuid

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-05-28 12:18:46 EDT

Why not just enhance udev with libuuid support (and its own scsi
identifier)?

The guts of devlabel (the shell script bits) are pretty much
irrelevant with udev.

In fact, scsi_id in extras/ in udev seems to be more or less the same
thing as scsi_unique_id.
