udev housekeeping

udev housekeeping

[Kay Sievers]

We have several files laying around in the tree, which should be updated
or deleted:

Not useful anymore:
  etc/conf.d/udev
  etc/dev.d/default/dbus.dev
  etc/dev.d/default/selinux.dev
  test/udevd_test.sh
  test/wait_for_sysfs_test.sh

RH specific and different from current RH version:
  etc/dev.d/default/pam_console.dev 

Calls udev binary for every node. Should be deleted or converted
to use udevstart:
  etc/init.d/udev
  etc/init.d/udev.init.LSB
  etc/init.d/udev.init.lfs
  etc/extras/start_udev

Most of them are broken an replaced by udev-test.pl:
  test/ignore_test
  test/label_test
  test/modifier_test
  test/net_test
  test/replace_test
  test/test.all
  test/test.block
  test/test.tty
  test/testd.block
  test/topo_test
  test/devd_test


Thanks,
Kay

This came from Red Hat, they don't use it anymore in their rpm?

Now deleted.

Now deleted.

Hm, I liked this script... oh well, it's gone.

Care to provide the latest version?

Deleted.

Converted.

Converted.

Left alone, I want to keep that logic around somewhere :)

delted.

deleted

deleted

Left alone, as we don't test this in udev-test.pl (yeah, it's broken,
but it can work by hand.)

deleted.

Left alone, they are good for debugging at times.

>   test/testd.block

Hm, I don't remember even why I added this :)

>   test/topo_test

deleted

>   test/devd_test

Nah, I'll leave this if I need to verify the dev.d stuff again.

Thanks for pointing this all out.

No, seems gone.

Will do it.

We have a logic in our Makefile to install an init script, this fails now on
Fedora, cause this script is gone :) Some extended version of start_udev is
called from /etc/rc.sysinit instead.

We may remove the "install-initscript" target completely from the Makefile?

Thanks,
Kay

Yes, that's a good idea.

I've removed it in my tree along with the unused conf.d/

Please pull along with all the other changes from:
  bk://vrfy.bkbits.net/udev

Thanks,
Kay

Pulled from.

Hm.  Anything anyone can think of that would prevent me from making a
new udev release today?
