Hopefully it's no +longer needed to run udevinfo from an event process, like it was +mentioned on the hotplug list: + UDEV [1134776873.702967] add@/block/sdb + ... + DEVNAME=/dev/sdb + DEVLINKS=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-IBM_Memory_Key_0218B301030027E8 /dev/disk/by-path/usb-0218B301030027E8:0:0:0 + +udev 077 +======== +Fix a problem if udevsend is used as the hotplug handler and tries to use +syslog, which causes a "vc" event loop. 2.6.15 will make udevsend obsolete +and this kind of problems will hopefully go away soon. + +udev 076 +======== +All built-in logic to work around bad sysfs timing is removed with this +version. The need to wait for sysfs files is almost fixed with a kernel +version that doesn't work with this udev version anyway. Until we fix +the timing of the "bus" link creation, the former integrated logic should +be emulated by a rule placed before all other rules: + ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/*", ENV{PHYSDEVBUS}=="?*", WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="bus" + +The option "udev_db" does no longer exist. All udev state will be in +/$udev_root/.udev/ now, there is no longer an option to set this +to anything else. +If the init script or something else used this value, just depend on +this hardcoded path. But remember _all_content_ of this directory is +still private to udev and can change at any time. + +Default location for rule sripts and helper programs is now: /lib/udev/. +Everything that is not useful on the commandline should go into this +directory. Some of the helpers in the extras folder are installed there +now. The rules need to be changed, to find the helpers there. + +Also /lib/udev/devices is recommended as a directory where packages or +the user can place real device nodes, which get copied over to /dev at +every boot. This should replace the various solutions with custom config +files. + +Udevsend does no longer start the udev daemon. This must be done with +the init script that prepares /dev on tmpfs and creates the initial nodes, +before starting the daemon. + udev 075 ======== Silent a too verbose error logging for the old hotplug.d/ dev.d/
