ISDN is not widely used, and should not unconditionally installed on every system. In the end it should be packaged with the ISDN tools, which use these nodes. As far as I can see, the non-CAPI ISDN devices are not created by udev, and need to be copied from /lib/udev/devices/, or created by some custom logic, so there is no need to add these. For now, I've added a simple packages/40-isdn.rules file. Are you sure, that there is a kernel device named "pilot", and not only a symlink? > KERNEL=="lirc0", SYMLINK+="lirc" > +KERNEL=="capi", NAME="capi20", SYMLINK+="isdn/capi20" > +KERNEL=="capi*", NAME="capi/%n" > > # mem > KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666" > KERNEL=="null", SYMLINK+="XOR" > -KERNEL=="mem|kmem|port", GROUP="kmem", MODE="0640" > +KERNEL=="mem|kmem|port|nvram", GROUP="kmem", MODE="0640" I've added this. > KERNEL=="ram0", SYMLINK+="ramdisk" > KERNEL=="ram1", SYMLINK+="ram" > > @@ -26,6 +28,7 @@ > KERNEL=="mouse*|mice|event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0640" > KERNEL=="ts[0-9]*|uinput", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0600" > KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644", SYMLINK+="%k" > +KERNEL=="mice", SYMLINK+="mouse" > > # video4linux > KERNEL=="vbi0", SYMLINK+="vbi" > --------------cut here-------------------------------------------- > > The "capi" rules are shared by slackware, frugalware, gentoo and debian; > if the distro files that are in udev package are updated (slackware > isn't, my fault). > > The including of "ippp*|isdn*|dcbri*|capi*|pilot" in "uucp" group is > shared by slackware and gentoo. I guess, non of these rules will do anything. :) > If 40-video.rules can be added to > 50-udev-default.rules we can be very happy -:) The assignment to the group "video"? Yeah, I like to have that too, there is nothing else left in the suse.rules. Harald, any problems, if we add group "video" to some video devices, seems we all need that, and it's useful even with the ACL stuff we do for frame grabber services/webcam daemons/fluendo stuff, and such. > The last two changes are "nvram" in "kmem", but every distro put it > in different group (i can move this to 65-permissions.rules, if can't > be added to 50-udev-default.rules) and a link from "mice" to /dev/mouse, > i don't think it hurts anyone and the link help us to maintain the same > /dev/mouse device that our users knows to be their mouse. > > Isn't the 40-alsa.rules a good candidate to be merged with > 50-udev-default.rules? Some systems do not have audio, we should put all "optional" subsystem specific stuff their own files, so they can be picked up by the subsystem packages, which rely on the device nodes. > I hope this can be useful Sure.
