Unfortunately we can no longer check the cvs repo afaik. We cannot see earlier than April 2008 : http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/udev/trunk/PKGBUILD?view=log
I am also curious to know how did that file stay. Why wasn't it tracked and removed by pacman ? The old cvs-arch and cvs-core are still around somewhere, but not public.
So since we still have no information about that /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules file, it seems it could potentially be on all old arch systems (2007 or older). Should the kernel post_upgrade either display a warning or just remove that file automatically ? A warning could be safer if a user used this file for custom rules.
My current Arch Linux was (re)installed last time in 2005 and only updated after that. I don't have /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules . I must have removed it manually. I think some time ago there was an announcement or discussion about this on this list, but I'm not sure. Armando
