Maybe this could be an opportunity to raise the requirement across the board, and also to make a news item about this?
Not to be the thorn in the side of progress, but we can't keep changing this every six months on a whim unless we truly don't care about some semblance of stability and uptime.
Either we are bleeding edge or we aren't. udev doesn't work completely with kernels older than 2.6.32, and we want the latest version. Not updating udev is not an option for me.
Is there no udev-compat anymore to work with older kernels?
There is, but it no longer contains rules to support kernels pre 2.6.32 (in fact it only contains a few rules to support 2.6.32, 2.6.33 and newer does not need it).
Cheers,
Tom If someone has the need to run older kernels, those should be smooth enough to keep an older udev version. I agree with Thomas, we are bleeding egde and if users need stuff that is older
