Subject: [bug#66099] [PATCH gnome-team v9 0/7] Update eudev, upower, udev-service-type, with /lib/udev/hardware
Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2023 12:49:29 +0200

Dear guix,

I find it surprising that we should rename /lib/udev/hwdb.d to
/lib/udev/hardware, but the impact is minimal (udevadm on Guix for the
udev-service-type relies only on UDEV_HWDB_PATH, which can accept /hardware
easily), and you insist, so, let’s do that.

I changed the installation directories for the packages I found with a grep
'hwdb.d', but I may have let some slip through.

I removed the publication of /etc/udev/hwdb.d in the udev service, because
these files would have the highest priority, so a user could not override
them.  Since eudev is in the system profile, UDEV_HWDB_PATH is set with the
system profile hardware files anyway (not exactly all that compose
/etc/udev/hwdb.bin).

The VM works.

Unfortunately, eudev does not support this I think.
