[PATCH] Install udev rules to /lib/udev/rules.d

[PATCH] Install udev rules to /lib/udev/rules.d

[Scott James Remnant]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1265 bytes --]

udev now installs rules into /lib/udev/rules.d by default,
leaving /etc/udev/rules.d for user rules and overrides only.

HAL should be updated to follow suit:

Applied. Also bumped the udev requirement and used @ for the abstract socket.

Thanks,

do you expect an application to install its rules in /lib/udev/rules.d
now. I was assuming this is for udev's own rules only?

It's my understanding (and I say this with the hope/expectation that
I'll be corrected if I'm wrong) that /lib/udev/rules.d/ is where *most*
package rules should go -- basically, anything for which the sysadmin
should have no reason to edit.   /etc/udev/rules.d/ would be for
system-specific rules and/or generated rules (e.g. persistent optical
and network devices rules files, and other things that might change over
the life of the system).
