[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-169-1
Hi guys, This is an upstream update together with the following changes: * we no longer disable error logging. This can be done manually if needed, but the lack of error messages makes finding errors harder. Besides, if the messages are truly unnecessary it should be reported upstream. * we no longer maintain our own custom cd symlinks. This change is just to get closer to upstream, and it does not lose significant functionality (also, the custom script is likely to bitrot). * we longer autoload oss emulation modules. This can be added to MODULES in rc.conf if needed, but is not needed by most people and causes problems for some, so don't do i by default. In the future we will not load any modules by default except for what is done upstream. This seemed the most obvious, so changed it first. * we no longer provide persistent net/cd autogeneration rules. This is deprecated upstream and should be done as explained on the arch wiki. I might leave this package in [testing] somewhat longer than strictly necessary to pick up on any obscure bugs (we were hit by some with the 168 release). Also note: with this release we need kernel 2.6.32 or later. Please test and signoff. Cheers, Tom

No signoff because udev 170 has been released with the following NEWS addition: --------- Fix bug in control message handling, which can lead to a failing udevadm control --exit. Thanks to Jürg Billeter for help tracking it down. --------- We use 'udevadm control --exit' [1] in mkinitcpio 0.6.12, so an update to udev 170 would be nice.
