[arch-general] [PATCH]: suggestion for new udev.install
Hi UDev maintainers, Attached is a suggestion for a new udev.install file. Two changes: Removed the output regarding upgrading from udev =< 100. This is more than four years old, and was referring to a non-existent readme file. Added a conditional database conversion, as this is recommended when upgrading from udev <=164 to 165 (which was recently released). Cheers, Tom

Makes sense :)

This database is generated on-the-fly and located in /dev afaik! As we do not stop and restart udev on upgrade, this conversion is not needed - the db will be regenerated on reboot anyway. Correct me if I am wrong, but afaik udev has no database anywhere in /var (or anywhere else outside of /dev).

Yup, I'm being daft. Scrap this then. (And if it turns out that weird stuff starts happening, this might be the explanation). -t
