-Subject: [PATCH] keytable: meson not passing rc_keymaps system directory
-
-In the meson build ir_keytable_system_dir is used as the parent directory
-for both rc_keymaps and rules.d, whereas udevrulesdir was defined
-sepeartely in the configure script. Update the -DIR_KEYTABLE_SYSTEM_DIR
-to include the rc_keymaps subdirectory aligning with the install_data
-functions.
