Some tools expect +udevadm in 'sbin'. A symlink to udevadm in 'bin' needs to be +manually created if needed. Alternatively --bindir=/sbin installs +udevadm in /sbin. + +The systemd socket files use PassCred=yes, which requires systemd +version 38. + +The blkid tool is no longer called from udev rules. Udev links directly +to libblkid now. + +The udev build system only creates a .xz tarball now. + +udev 175 +======== +Bugfixes. + +udev 174 +======== +Bugfixes. + +The udev daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd. Non-systemd init systems +and non-dracut initramfs image generators need to change the init +scripts. Alternatively the udev build needs to move udevd back to +/sbin or create a symlink in /sbin, which is not done by default. + +The path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now and +the stand-alone tools do not exist anymore. Static lists of file in +initramfs generators need to be updated. For testing, the commands +can still be executed standalone with 'udevadm test-builtin '. + +The fusectl filesystem is no longer mounted directly from udev. +Systemd systems will take care of mounting fusectl and configfs +now. Non-systemd systems need to ship their own rule if they +need these filesystems auto-mounted. + +The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed. + +The support for 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the +RUN{fail_event_on_error} attribute was removed. + +The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control +and no longer as an abstract namespace one. + +The rules to create persistent network interface and cdrom link +rules automatically in /etc/udev/rules.d/ have been disabled by +default. Explicit configuration will be required for these use +cases, udev will no longer try to write any persistent system +configuration from a device hotplug path. + +udev 173 +======== +Bugfixes. + +The udev-acl extra is no longer enabled by default now. To enable it, +--enable-udev_acl needs to be given at ./configure time. On systemd +systems, the udev-acl rules prevent it from running as the functionality +has moved to systemd. + udev 172 ======== Bugfixes.
