You can mount it by hand by running: - mount -t sysfs none /sys - -- Make sure you have the latest version of the linux-hotplug scripts. They are - available at linux-hotplug.sf.net or from your local kernel.org mirror at: - kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/ - They are required in order for udev to work properly. - - If for some reason you do not install the hotplug scripts, you must tell the - kernel to point the hotplug binary at wherever you install udev at. This can - be done by: - echo "/sbin/udev" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug - -- Build the project: - make - - Note: - There are a number of different flags that you can use when building - udev. They are as follows: - prefix - set this to the default root that you want udev to be - installed into. This works just like the 'configure --prefix' - script does. Default value is ''. Only override this if you - really know what you are doing. - USE_KLIBC - if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the - included version of klibc. Default value is 'false'. - USE_LOG - if set to 'true', udev will emit messages to the syslog when - it creates or removes device nodes. This is helpful to see - what udev is doing. This is enabled by default. Note, if you - are building udev against klibc it is recommended that you - disable this option (due to klibc's syslog implementation.) - USE_DBUS - if set to 'true', DBUS messages will be sent everytime udev - creates or removes a device node. This requires that DBUS - development headers and libraries be present on your system to - build properly. Default value is 'false'. - USE_SELINUX - if set to 'true', SELinux support for udev will be built in. - This requires that SELinux development headers and libraries be - present on your system to build properly. Default value is - 'false'. - DEBUG - if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog - as udev is run. Default value is 'false'. - KERNEL_DIR - If this is not set it will default to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build - This is used if USE_KLIBC=true to find the kernel include - directory that klibc needs to build against. This must be set - if you are not building udev while running a 2.6 kernel. - - So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you - would do: - make USE_KLIBC=true DEBUG=true - -- Install the project: - make install - - This will put the udev binary in /sbin, create the /udev and /etc/udev - directories, and place the udev configuration files in /etc/udev. You - will probably want to edit the namedev.* files to create custom naming - rules. More info on how the config files are set up are contained in - comments in the files, and is located in the documentation. - -- Add and remove devices from the system and marvel as nodes are created - and removed in /udev/ based on the device types. - -- If you later get sick of it, uninstall it: - make uninstall - - -Things are still quite rough, but it should work properly. If nothing -seems to happen, make sure your build worked properly by running the -udev-test.pl script as root in the test/ subdirectory of the udev source -tree. - -Development and documentation help is very much appreciated, see the TODO -file for a list of things left to be done. - - -Any comment/questions/concerns please let me and the other udev developers -know by sending a message to the linux-hotplug-devel mailing list at: - linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - -greg k-h -greg@kroah.com - - - - - +systemd System and Service Manager + +DETAILS: + http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html + +WEB SITE: + http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd + +GIT: + git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd + ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd + +GITWEB: + http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd + +MAILING LIST: + http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel + http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-commits + +IRC: + #systemd on irc.freenode.org + +BUG REPORTS: + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemd + +AUTHOR: + Lennart Poettering + Kay Sievers + ...and many others + +LICENSE: + LGPLv2.1+ for all code + - except sd-daemon.[ch] and sd-readahead.[ch] which are MIT + - except src/udev/ which is GPLv2.0+ + +REQUIREMENTS: + Linux kernel >= 2.6.39 + with devtmpfs + with cgroups (but it's OK to disable all controllers) + optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6 + dbus >= 1.4.0 + libcap + PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional) + libcryptsetup (optional) + libaudit (optional) + libselinux (optional) + tcpwrappers (optional) + + When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies: + + docbook-xsl + xsltproc + automake + autoconf + libtool + gperf + make, gcc, and similar tools + + During runtime you need the following dependencies: + + util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s) + sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended) + dracut (optional) + + When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to + install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of + dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolveable + under all circumstances.
