Sorry, my fault, I don't add the upstream symlinks again. The diff of the udev rule is here:
https://github.com/tblume/systemd-suse-devel/commit/ 78e7459c1d4daecbd4dba8b327957d05ecdc7d56
Upstream declined re-adding the format lenght parameter, but it's rather for design reasons: --> I don't remember any specific reasons about this one, just that we removed a whole bunch of magic string mangling; we did not want udev provide shell-like features. People asked for more of them, and we thought they should use a shell, if they need to do more complicated things. [...] I think we should have less string mangling support in udev rules, not more. hence, let's not add this, I see little point in restoring something that was removed 8 years ago and nobody noticed or missed so far. Closing. I hope this makes sense. --< Question is where we go from here. Should we add a suse-only patch or move the funbctionality to an external script/binary? Franck, any thoughts? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
