Hello, I've updated udev to version 181 and officially or
non-officially I'm the new maintainer of udev with Petr Uzel
as co-maintainer.
Here are some important changes:
- version 181
- boot.udev: root_symlink_rule now creates the rule 10-root-symlink.rules
in /run/udev/rules.d and a link to /dev/.udev (for the good old times).
- require kmod version 5.
- keymap: Add Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2732
- ata_id: fix identify string fixup
- ata_id: whitespace fixes
- keymap: Fix touchpad toggle button on Lenovo Ideapad
* version 180:
- Bugfixes.
* version 179:
- Bugfixes.
* version 178:
- RUN+="socket:.." option is deprecated and should not be used.
* version 177:
- Bugfixes.
* version 176:
- 'devtmpfs' filesystem is required now, udev will not create or delete
device nodes anymore.
- writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now.
- there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev.
- modules are now loaded directly by linking udev to 'libkmod'.
- udev links directly to libblkid now.
- 'udevadm control --reload-rules' option has been renamed to '--reload'.
* version 175:
- Bugfixes.
* version 174:
- udev daemon moved to /lib/udev/udevd.
(we moved it back: move-udevd-and-udevadm-back-to-sbin.patch)
- long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed.
- 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the RUN{fail_event_on_error}
attribute
was removed.
- udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control.
I would like ask you guys, if possible, to test the new version and
let me know if there are any issues or problems with the new package.
