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/ +emulation. + +The copy of klibc is removed. A systemwide installed version of klibc +should be used to build a klibc udev now. + +udev 074 +======== +NAME="" will not create any nodes, but execute RUN keys. To completely +ignore an event the OPTION "ignore_device" should be used. + +After removal of the reorder queue, events with a TIMEOUT can be executed +without any queuing now. + udev 073 ======== Fixed bug in udevd, if inotify is not available. We depend on netlink
