bmarkus,
I see you are listed as the maintainer for libevdev. I created my own version libevdev 1.3.2 because I needed it to compile evemu. I submited my updated package as libevdev-1.3.2.tcz yesterday along with my evemu-tools.tcz, but wasn't sure if that was actually the right move, or if the updates should have been kept in your original libevdev.tcz to avoid needing to change version numbers in *.dep files for other extensions.
Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to proceed...
