--- Comment #119 from Johannes Meixner
I see in the NEWS file:
"udev: /lib/udev/devices/ are not read anymore; systemd-tmpfiles should be used to create dead device nodes as workarounds for broken subsystems."
What sort of "broken subsystems" are we talking about here?
The only one still known is the parport driver, where cups might rely on module-autoloading by accessing of /dev/lp0. There are around 3 users in the world which need that. :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as I understand it means that from systemd/udev version 183 on the current way how parallel printer support is enabled via device node files in /lib/udev/devices/ which are provided by the parallel-printer-support package does no longer work and the whole mechanism must be replaced by "systemd-tmpfiles". If my understanding is right this together with comment #61 (note: for openSUSE 12.2 we will have CUPS 1.5 not 1.6!) means that out-of-the-box support for the parallel port seems to become more or less abandoned by upstream projects. In this case for openSUSE versions after 12.2 there is the question if there is sufficient voluntary manpower so that the free openSUSE project can still provide out-of-the-box support for the parallel port. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
