[arch-projects] [udev][RFC][1/5] remove cdsymlinks.sh
by Tom Gundersen 14 May '11

14 May '11

The first thing I want to address is cdsymlinks.sh and the corresponding rules in 80-drivers.rules. As far as I understand the aim of this functionality is to create sensible symlinks to cdrom devices in /dev. Similar functionality is already provided by 60-cdrom_id.rules upstream, though it might differ slightly (from the git log, this rules file has had bugfixes that probably would apply to our rules too). I am inclined to simply remove our functionality and rely entirely on the upstream one. If there are use cases that we cover that upstream do not (I'm not aware of any), then I would be happy to take the lead on pushing the required patches upstream. This might cause some functional change to our users, but as far as I can tell a renamed cdrom symlink should not be the end of the world. Clearly, an announcement about this change must be made. >From what I have been told this was mostly relevant with the old standard fstab entries for cdroms. However, those have been removed a long time ago. Thoughts? Cheers, Tom

[arch-projects] [udev][RFC][0/5] moving udev closer to upstream
by Tom Gundersen 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hi guys, Tobias agreed to let me take over maintaining the udev package, and I have some ideas for changes I'd like to get everyone's comments on. Over the last few years udev has grown and distros have consolidated to the point where most distro's should be able to ship an unpatched version of udev. We are not as far away from upstream as we used to be, and we will still need to keep some patches due to backwards compatibility, but there is quite a lot we can get rid of. The aim is to simplify the maintainers job and benefit from all bug fixing happening upstream, this also means that we should file bug reports and push patches upstream rather than keeping our own rule files (to the extent it makes sense). Udev is very actively maintained with contributions coming from different distros, so this should be a benefit for everyone. In the five subsequent emails I'll outline the changes I'd like to implement. I cc'ed arch-dev-public on this email in case any interested parties are not on arch-projects, but I'll keep the rest of the discussion on arch-projects so we don't clog down peoples' inboxes :-) If anyone has any concern or suggestions pleas speak up :-) Cheers, Tom PS I just discovered that David Reisner is maintaining udev-vanilla in AUR which is almost exactly what I have in mind, so it might be worth checking out.

If initramfs uses --cleanup-db and device-mapper/LVM, the rules in initramfs need to add OPTIONS+="db_persist" for all dm devices. This will prevent removal of the udev database for these devices.
