From 65c7a07bba198fbb2b6b57f539165f3395a51551 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 22:46:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libevdev: remove host python dependency In commit 79c31e3297da7f0aec4d4675c154736e4cffe3ed ("package/libevdev: add dependency on host-python"), Yann added a dependency of libevdev on host-python, because the Python script in evdev was using argparse which is only available since Python 2.6. At the time, this was causing failures on machines that were using Python versions older than 2.6. However, since Yann's patch, the libevdev version has been bumped. And one of the upstream commit, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/commit/libevdev/?id=cea8f0b8cc86332b0643acd62f24f9fef2ecc153, was precisely made to remove the argparse dependency to avoid the need to have a >= 2.6 Python version. Thanks to this, we can avoid the host-python dependency and rely on the system-installed Python version instead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Acked-by: "Yann E.
