Some followups here. tpowa went ahead and handled a few of the changes I was discussing here, but there are a few more before I push this to testing.

And, 51-arch.rules is being installed in /etc/udev/rules.d. Shouldn't it go in the new location?

Probably not, the idea about rules in /lib/udev/ is that those are the stock rules as shipped with udev. And any distro or system rules would go to /etc/udev/rules.d/ (anything that's not stock).

There's some info here: http://lwn.net/Articles/293689/

So I've moved 81-arch.rules back to /etc. There should be no need to recompile applications, as those rules should still go to /etc

Secondly, I want to remove the readme file from the udev package. Does anyone have a problem with this? At the very least I moved the install to /usr/share/udev/ but I don't think we need to ship a readme file for any of this - udev does have some comprehensive man pages. The rest should go in the wiki.

Please take a look at trunk if you get a chance. I want to push this to testing tonight or tomorrow.

I just built the current trunk on i686. Everything works fine. The system boots fine and the permission problem for my external CD drive that I mentionned earlier are fixed. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
