hwdata package
We seem to have grown two `hwdata' packages from
https://github.com/vcrhonek/hwdata/ in the last month:
- sysutils/hwdata
- misc/hwdata
The differences are:
- sysutils/hwdata uses buildlink3 while misc/hwdata does not; I think
it should use buildlink3 so downstream packages can get a limited
view of it exposed through buildlink3 (may require
BUILDLINK_FILES.hwdata+= share/* to work properly, not sure).
- sysutils/hwdata puts hwdata.pc in share/pkgconfig as upstream does
by default, while misc/hwdata changes this to go in lib/pkgconfig.
Not sure what the right thing is here but there seems to be lots of
precedent for share/pkgconfig/*.pc in other packages.
- sysutils/hwdata disables installing
lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf, while misc/hwdata installs it;
not sure what the right thing is here.
- sysutils/hwdata patches the Makefile to avoid a syntax error (not
sure what it is?), while misc/hwdata patches the Makefile to use
$(SED), $(BSD_INSTALL_*), and a custom PKGCONFIG_DIR.
I don't have strong feelings about these, but maybe we should have
just one hwdata package -- can I trouble you two, bsiegert and vins,
to decide how to merge them?
