Changelog
udev (079-0ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
"You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic."
* New upstream release:
- %e (enumerate) in rules has been deprecated.
- event environment now lists symlinks to device in DEVLINKS variable
- device-mapper support for persistent disk rules
* Dropped 10-udev-conf.patch, now included upstream.
* Dropped 02-no-sepol.patch, as we now depend on that.
* Added 10-selinux-include-udev-h.patch to fix build failure with selinux.
* Increased versioned dependency on libselinux1-dev to that which includes
matchpathcon_init_prefix.
* Fixed dvb device naming to create correct format names, bugs in both
udev rules to match the device and program to generate the right names.
Ubuntu #20874.
* Fixed a bug in udevplug that caused it to wait for an event to complete
that it never tickled. Ubuntu #20943.
* Included firmware loading in the udeb so network cards needing firmware
will work in the installer. Ubuntu #20993
* Plug devices in serial during the initramfs, provides a little more
predictability of device names of the root filesystem.
* Rule changes:
- wait for the address attribute of network devices to appear in sysfs
before processing.
Rationale: solves race not yet fixed in kernel.
- dropped %e from symlink rules; this means you will only have one
/dev/cdrom symlink no matter how many devices you have - and it isn't
necessarily predictable which one it is. Software should use HAL or
similar to present "human names" for devices, and sysadmins should
use the /dev/disk/* names.
Rationale: upstream.
- /etc/udev/rules.d/65-persistent.rules renamed to 65-persistent-disk.rules
Rationale: upstream.
- place /dev/nvram in the nvram group.
Rationale: Ubuntu #21571 and breezy.
- load sg module for all SCSI devices.
Rationale: Ubuntu #12434, SuSE rules.
- place SCSI processors (SYSFS{type}==3) from HP in the scanner group.
Rationale: Ubuntu #12434.
- change permissions of removable devices (floppies, usb, ieee1394, etc.)
to 0660 (the default) instead of overriding it down to 0640.
Rationale: allows formatting of the media, and the groups are intended
to imply physical access anyway.
