I don't think we should add hacks to our packages to allow things that are not supported by upstream. The proper solution to this would be to file a feature request against udevadm, and in the meantime keep some script that does what you want (if it can be done). Agreed- can you point me to the udev bug tracker so I can file said request?
They don't have one. Any bugs go to the ML: <linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org>.
If it turns out that restarting udevd is indeed the correct thing to do on upgrade, then we should just do that in the install script, which of course would be easy to keep in sync with whatever path udevd uses. Whoa. I might concede the rest of my argument, but we NEVER EVER EVER touch running programs on an Arch system. Ever.
Ok, as long as it works, that's fine by me. -t
