Patch #1 installs udev rules files to /lib/udev/rules.d/ instead
of /etc/udev/rules.d/ - see commit message for more info.

Patch #2 allows override of manpage installation directory by
packagers - see commit message for more info

Please send each patch in-lined, one patch per email.


Okay, noted.  Should I resend, or is this for future reference?

If you don't mind, please re-send it. Please c/c me, as we're having some
troubles with patchwork nowadays.


Sure, will do in just a bit.


Not all distros use /lib for it. In fact, RHEL5/RHEL6/Fedora 15 and Fedora rawhide
all use /etc/udev/rules.d.

If so, it's only older distros that I wouldn't expect to be packaging newer
versions of v4l-utils (e.g. RHEL won't as I understand it), and for Fedora,
if "rawhide" is devel tree, then I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.

We've packaged v4l-utils for RHEL, via epel[1]. I volunteered to maintain it for RHEL6,
as I use it on my machine and I would be doing it anyway for me, so better to maintain
it for the others also ;)

I don't intend to maintain it for RHEL5, but I was told that lots of mythtv users run
CentOS (based on RHEL5).  So, I won't doubt if someone from CentOS (or other rpm repos
for .el5, like atrpms) would add v4l-utils there.


Okay, fair enough.


Do you know, by any chance, what's the minimal udev version where /lib/udev exists?

If it is too old, then I agree that pointing the default to /lib/udev is the better.


Here's a casual look into udev's git log:

  commit 05b9640022d25a75923cc7809409914491a5f9da

  commit 282988c4f8a85c28468e6442e86efe51dc71cc93
  Author: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx>

      move default rules from /etc/udev/rules.d/ to /lib/udev/rules.d/

  ...

So that's almost three years ago...
