There are other ways to solve this problem. Sean said you need libudev in nativesdk and I'd imagine there are other ways to manage to build that without changing the whole SDK layout. Sure, that is probably a path of least resistance but my point is that I don't think it is the right one. One of my jobs as maintainer is to say "no", at least occasionally. I don't like doing that, I don't like resulting accusations of being a bully, being brainless and making OE worse. It makes me wonder about resigning and walking away from all of this as I sometimes feel I've just about had enough of it. Does anyone actually care since I'm making things so bad. Not every decision is one everyone will 100% agree with and sadly, that is an unfortunate consequence of having to make a decision in the first place. I do merge a lot of things I don't like or agree with. FWIW I'm also told I don't say no nearly often enough :/. > > > Richard
