So looking at other OS mainly freebsd they have both util-linux and libuuid but libuuid is separate to util-linux. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/main/misc/libuuid/Makefile if we just need libuuid i think its fine to just name this libuuid. my only question is how does dev depends work but im guessing meson is smart enough to install only the headers for libuuid |
|
the headers for libuuid are ironically, not packaged with the subpackage... only in the dev metapackage. This is how alpine does it and i stole a lot of the APKBUILD structure from them https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=&path=&name=libuuid&branch=edge&repo=main&arch=x86_64 |
|
yea what im saying is just to rename the root package as libuuid drop the whole util-linux naming if we really need util-linux proper at somepoint we can just add it separately to libuuid basically the exact same thing a freebsd |
|
unless there is a bunch of things in here you want to just get working in one shot then im all for it. the only thing im slightly worried about is things like libmount and people thinking thats where they would get it from |

How many of the utils in util-linux should we port to merge this?
Would it be better to have libuuid be a standalone package instead of a metapackage like this?
I'll keep this as a draft until we have a clear way forwards with regards to this
