Description Ting-Wei Lan 2016-09-06 06:29:16 UTC 
Recent commit 0c72785 causes gnome-software to hard-depend on gudev. udev and gudev are only supported on Linux, so it causes configure to fail on non-Linux systems. Can we make this newly added plugin optional?

configure: error: Package requirements (gudev-1.0) were not met:

Package gudev-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gudev-1.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gudev-1.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
