I think it's pretty clear: Don't use udev's low-level stuff managing ACLs directly in packages. There is nothing else that breaks. This is all very new stuff, and new stuff changes until the pain to change is larger than the gain of the change. That point is surely not reached today. It's not different from any other new stuff that has a certain grade of complexity -- just don't use it if you can't cope with possible changes -- because they will very likely happen. >> know the details, but I know people talking about new stuff. > > Could the above "people" please shed some light on this? You can ask them. It's the people who work on the multi-seat stuff. But I doubt they can outline a plan more detailed than: don't use the udev low-level stuff directly in packages. :) Thanks, Kay -- 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
