Subject: udev: support explicit key match, non-match and assignment
Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2005 21:01:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1110661297.6640.13.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

I've added more descriptive key assignment and match operators to the
udev rules parser to make the rules better readable.

The KEY="<value>" format supports '=', '=', '!=,' , '+=' now. This makes it
easy to skip certain attribute matches without composing rules with weird
character class negations like:
  KERNEL="[!s][!c][!d]*"

this can now be replaced with:
  KERNEL!="scd*"

The current simple '=' is still supported, and should work as it does today,
but existing rules should be converted if possible, to be better readable.

Thanks,
Kay
