DeviceKit is an abstraction for enumerating devices and listening to
device events. Any application on the system can access the
org.freedesktop.DeviceKit service via the system message bus. On
GNU/Linux, DeviceKit can be considered a simple D-Bus frontend to
udev(7).

Requirements:

   glib-2.0    >=  2.12
   dbus-glib-1 >=  0.76
   libudev     >=  130

NOTE NOTE NOTE: This is probably the last release of DeviceKit. The
                functionality of DeviceKit is going to be merged into the
                udev-extras with the only changes being the D-Bus name
                as well as the prefix for the GObject library and the
                command line tool.
