[arch-dev-public] [signoff] udev-171-1
Hi guys, udev-171 is now out and moved to testing. udev-170 stayed in testing for one week, and my removal of some of our custom rules revealed an upstream bug. This has now been fixed upstream, so 171 should be ready to move to core. Please test and signoff. Cheers, Tom ***** Upstream changes since udev-168: udev 171 ======== Bugfixes. The systemd service files require systemd version 28. The systemd socket activation make it possible now to start 'udevd' and 'udevadm trigger' in parallel. udev 170 ======== Fix bug in control message handling, which can lead to a failing udevadm control --exit. Thanks to Jürg Billeter for help tracking it down. udev 169 ======== Bugfixes. We require at least Linux kernel 2.6.32 now. Some platforms might require a later kernel that supports accept4() and similar, or need to backport the trivial syscall wiring to the older kernels. The hid2hci tool moved to the bluez package and was removed. Many of the extras can be --enable/--disabled at ./configure time. The --disable-extras option was removed. Some extras have been disabled by default. The current options and their defaults can be checked with './configure --help'. ***** Packaging changes (unchanged since udev-169): * 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.
