I like this syntax a lot more, and in fact it is the one I implemented in the patch I posted yesterday (loosely based on an older version of your patch) and which I am using in the debian package. >could you explain what do you mean under "different configurations in >place"? My plan is to distribute with the package files like /etc/udev/udev.rules (enabled by default, devfs-like names) /etc/udev/udev-compat.rules (enabled by default, some compatibility links) /etc/udev/udev-full.rules (more compatibility links) /etc/udev/udev-traditional.rules (old style names) and allow users to select the files they need from udev.conf. I /could/ install these files in /usr/share/doc/, but then users who choose a non-default configuration would have to manually update them after each upgrade. >Users should be careful only if they want to replace kernel names with >something else. But I still fail to see why on earth would they want to? Because some users want The main reason to have a configuration directory like /etc/modprobe.d/ is to allow other packages to put there their own files, but this is not needed for udev. -- ciao, | Marco | [4709 ap7bUU.9AuD62] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
