Recent versions of udisks depend on libblockdev, which in turn depends on the=20 volume_key, dmraid, libbytesize, ndctl and possibly more, all of which are not packaged in Guix yet. What do you think? Is it worth it? Any alternative to udisks? Otherwise I'll go ahead and send a big fat patch set. =2D- Pierre Neidhardt Poorochrondria: Hypochrondria derived from not having medical insurance. -- Douglas Coupland, "Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture" --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlsHCQYACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH8vkgf/asvRhdM78vTxwRUiafN60TkAOoUNgKa2u9qMCplmOSEg5Fg4xwslUiZ2 aP06MyPoQXi9eioyHLp+pJlXNJq9v5FxiAJU/3bMt+0C0BADXdC/RnJKGgGdor06 yq+8TJt2CA5NP2xb2Y5QseCjvXMjfKGK9TH3CHGjsTut4BH7qkq0oE4iqcwjVBfm GGqxL1TDgH84WVhDH0rdHGV0VEtc/7DoJkrKfPHv6n2vfCEiiiCDZ+0Rz/Ji7S54 b7t2jebmm5OOlaTmDc1fGidj48VszbbXjRLYgqVoyhxCmdYpRCwJQrQOPXZskZ8r yFnWo+Gi8jeOKePsZ+klsWjbrIvdog== =FfqO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
