This superseeds Dan's previous signoff for the 118 version bump. Included are the following changes: FS#8702 - Fix persistant input devices FS#8878 - Attempted speed up of load-modules.sh FS#8591 - Fix loading of RTC devices
Additionally, this package is required for the new initscripts which are required for the new ISOs. Please sign off
Sorry, won't signoff until http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9636 will be checked.
Actually, it turned out that the bug is in initscripts, not in udev.
I've just rendered my system unusable after installing udev-118-2 but not the latest initscripts, because initscripts in core check for start_udev, and when it's not available - falls back to static /dev which obviously has only a couple of files, and no /dev/sda*. User has to remount / in rw mode (to make changes to local db possible), then downgrade udev or update initscripts. This happens only when user upgrades udev without upgrading to initscripts first. I don't know how this should be solved in a clean way. Will a big fat warning in udev's pre_upgrade with 'read' command and Ctrl-C possibility be enought? The situation when upgrading initscripts and using older udev is already covered by depends=(... udev>=118 ...) in initscripts' PKGBUILD. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
