Thanks Eric for being on the ball. I didn't check for a new version today.
Pushed to testing. Some important changes: * Stock rules are not in /lib/udev/rules.d/ * /etc/udev/rules.d is still respected and should be used for non-stock rules * Custom readme moved to /usr/share/udev. slated for removal later (man pages are superior) * Improved stock rules, will eventually need to clean up our Arch rules... * Possibly others.
Please test and let me know how it goes.
Also, a x86_64 build would be nice.
Changes compared to -1: - Fixed path: /lib/pkgconfig -> /usr/lib/pkgconfig - Rewrote load-modules.sh: + Fixes http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10972 This adds a new resolve-modalias binary, which resolves an alias without resolving the dependencies (modprobe can't do that). If you have a device which can be used by modules A and B, blacklisting A will no longer result in B being blacklisted with it. resolve-modalias has gcc-libs as a dependency, but gcc-libs is in base anyway, so it shouldn't matter. + Adds more comprehensive messages to /var/log/everything.log including a reason why a module hasn't been loaded. + If you want to disable a device completely, you can blacklist the modalias to prevent all matching modules from being loaded. This should make rc.conf blacklisting way more intuitive. - Fixed 80-drivers.rules: This was horribly broken, as modprobe was often called instead of load-modules.sh and thus blacklisting was completely disabled in -1, - Add only framebuffer drivers to the framebuffer blacklist, not random modules containing the string 'fb'
Thanks for the rewrite Thomas. Has this sped anything up for you? I know my udev time on boot is usually between 4s and 6s, so I'll see if this affects anything when I reboot
