[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-174-1
Hi guys, A new udev release is in testing. This one has seen lots of changes, both upstream and in the package. See the install message for the important packaging changes (essentially just removing arch-specific stuff). I'm especially interested in feedback from people who use fusectl and configfs so we can figure out what regressions (if any) they are experiencing. We'll probably have to add in some rules again to make things work as before. Give it a spin, let me know of any problems. I'll leave this in [testing] for a while, but please sign off for both arches if it works for you. Cheers, Tom Upstream release notes (I removed some sections that don't apply to us): udev 174 ======== Bugfixes. The path_id, usb_id, input_id tools are built-in commands now and the stand-alone tools do not exist anymore. Static lists of file in initramfs generators need to be updated. For testing, the commands can still be executed standalone with 'udevadm test-builtin <cmd>'. The fusectl filesystem is no longer mounted directly from udev. Systemd systems will take care of mounting fusectl and configfs now. Non-systemd systems need to ship their own rule if they need these filesystems auto-mounted. The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed. The support for 'udevadm trigger --type=failed, and the RUN{fail_event_on_error} attribute was removed. The udev control socket is now created in /run/udev/control and no longer as an abstract namespace one.

I'll push a new mkinitcpio this weekend to adjust for the path changes and the *_id helpers going away. It's not crucial as image creation continues to work just fine, but I'm sure there will be some noise about the missing file errors if I don't tag a new rel. I've also been meaning to get busybox 1.19.2 out, but it requires a minor change to init as well... d

I forgot to warn about the ERRORS for missing files. They are harmless as you say, but a bit scary. When you push the next busybox could you include the init app (if it is not already switched on). Also, what is the status of Thomas' cp -x patch? It would be nice to have that too for the shutdown hook (and hence the /usr hook) to finally work. Cheers, Tom

I use none of those fancy 2.0 things, and stuff still works here. :) Signoff x86_64. -- Gaetan
