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 147 ======== Bugfixes. To support DEVPATH strings larger than the maximum file name length, the private udev database format has changed. If some software still reads the private files in /dev/.udev/, which it shouldn't, now it's time to fix it. Please do not port anything to the new format again, everything in /dev/.udev is and always was private to udev, and may and will change any time without prior notice. Multiple devices claiming the same names in /dev are limited to symlinks only now. Mixing identical symlink names and node names is not supported. This reduces the amount of data in the database significantly. NAME="%k" causes a warning now. It's is and always was completely superfluous. It will break kernel supplied DEVNAMEs and therefore it needs to be removed from all rules. Most NAME= instructions got removed. Kernel 2.6.31 supplies the needed names if they are not the default. To support older kernels, the NAME= rules need to be added to the compat rules file. Symlinks to udevadm with the old command names are no longer resolved to the udevadm commands. The udev-acl tool got adopted to changes in ConsoleKit. Version 0.4.11 is required now. The option "last_rule" does no longer exist. Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent later rules, and is an indication that something needs to be fixed properly instead. The gudev API is no longer marked as experimental, G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE is no longer needed. The gudev introspection is enabled by default now. Various projects already depend on introspection information to bind dynamic languages to the gudev interfaces. -- 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
