udevhwdbdir - Githubissues

udeved commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I found some little shortcoming with udevhwdbdir.

It is currently tied to sysconfdir, ie I can only make it install in /etc/udev/hwdb.d

However, it would be really nice to configure udevhwdbdir independently of sysconfdir, so it can be installed to /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d, so perhaps make udevhwdbdir depends on udevlibexecdir instead of sysconfdir?

I am not sure its best way, but if you want, I can send PR.

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/Makefile.am#L93

Reason is, I need compatibility with systemd, ie packages that provide hwdb in /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d on arch based linux.
