Here comes a new udev version. Thanks to all who have contributed to this release. Until ftp.kernel.org is ready, the signed tarball is here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~kay/udev/ (This is just a temporary location and the files will be deleted at the moment ftp.kernel.org is used again) 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 176 ======== The 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete device nodes anymore, it only adjusts permissions and ownership of device nodes and maintains additional symlinks. A writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now for a fully functional udev, there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev. The default 'configure' install locations have changed. Packages for systems with the historic / vs. /usr split need to be adapted, otherwise udev will be installed in /usr and not work properly. Example configuration options to install things the traditional way are in INSTALL. The default install location of the 'udevadm' tool moved from 'sbin' to /usr/bin. Some tools expect udevadm in 'sbin', a symlink to udevadm needs to be manually created if needed, or --bindir=/sbin be specified. The expected value of '--libexecdir=' has changed and must no longer contain the 'udev' directory. Kernel modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'. The 'modprobe' tool is no longer executed by udev. The 'blkid' tool is no longer executed from udev rules. Udev links directly to libblkid now. Firmware is loaded natively by udev now, the external 'firmware' binary is no longer used. All built-in tools can be listed and tested with 'udevadm test-builtin'. The 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'. It now also reloads the kernel module configuration. The systemd socket files use PassCredentials=yes, which is available in systemd version 38. The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now. All tabs in the source code used for indentation are replaced by spaces now. :) -- 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
