Here comes a new udev version. Thanks to all who have contributed to this release. The tarball can be found here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/ The development repository can be found here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=summary The ChangeLog can be found here: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=ChangeLog udev 142 ======== Bugfixes. The program vol_id and the library libvolume_id are removed from the repository. Libvolume_id is merged with libblkid from the util-linux-ng package. Persistent disk links for label and uuid depend on the util-linux-ng version (2.15) of blkid now. Older versions of blkid can not be used with udev. Libudev allows to subscribe to udev events. To prevent unwanted messages to be delivered, and waking up the subscribing process, a filter can be installed, to drop messages inside a kernel socket filter. The filters match on the <subsytem>:<devtype> properties of the device. This is part of the ongoing effort to replace HAL, and switch current users over to directly use libudev. Libudev is still marked as experimental, and its interface might eventually change if needed, but no major changes of the currently exported interface are expected anymore, and a first stable release should happen soon. A too old kernel (2.6.21) or a kernel with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not supported since while and udevd will log an error message at startup. It should still be able to boot-up, but advanced rules and system services which depend on the information not available in the old sysfs format will fail to work correctly. DVB device naming is supplied by the kernel now. In case older kernels need to be supported, the old shell script should be added to a compat rules file. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
