ID will walk up the device chain - but it matches on "KERNEL names" too. And ID and SYSFS can only match - on the same device in the chain. That's pretty hard to explain and to - understand. Same for SUBSYSTEM and BUS. - - -These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future -udev version: - - o remove broken %e enumeration - (simple enumerations can't work and should go) - - o remove devfs naming scheme rules and scripts - - o remove MODALIAS + $modalias - (ENV{MODALIAS}, $env{MODALIAS}, $sysfs{modalias} will do it) - - o remove udevstart, udevsend - (we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer - want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it) + o drop support for node names in name stack, support only symlinks + With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need + to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names. + From there on, only symlinks with identical names can be claimed + by multiple devices. It will simplify the logic a lot and shrink + /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also exclude "*/MAJ:MIN" link names + from the name stack, they can not conflict. + o remove most NAME= rules (they are provided by the 2.6.31 kernel) + o convert firmware.sh to C + o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names + o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the -- syntax + o get rid of braindead "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface + if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely + o remove copy of bsg.h + o drop all support for the DEPRECATED sysfs layout + o add warning for BUS, SYSFS, ID
