From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Greg KH Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 00:39:36 +0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCE] udev 038 release Message-Id: <20041014003936.GA8810@kroah.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I've released the 038 version of udev. It can be found at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-038.tar.gz (yes, the last announcement was for 034, things have been moving fast...) udev allows users to have a dynamic /dev and provides the ability to have persistent device names. It uses sysfs and /sbin/hotplug and runs entirely in userspace. It requires a 2.6 kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG enabled to run. Please see the udev FAQ for any questions about it: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ For any udev vs devfs questions anyone might have, please see: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev_vs_devfs And there is a general udev web page at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html More bugfixes, and hopefully the "udev is locked in a loop taking all of the cpu" bug is now gone. Also, lots of wait_for_sysfs updates thanks to all who has reported them. Thanks to everyone who has send me patches for this release, a full list of everyone, and their changes is below. udev development is done in a BitKeeper repository located at: bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/udev Daily snapshots of udev from the BitKeeper tree can be found at: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/bitkeeper/udev/ If anyone ever wants a tarball of the current bk tree, just email me. thanks, greg k-h Summary of changes from v037 to v038 ====================== : o Re: Problem parsing %s in udev rules Greg Kroah-Hartman: o fix up error in building extras and libsysfs Summary of changes from v036 to v037 ====================== : o small udev patch Greg Kroah-Hartman: o fix compilation warning in tdb log message o Fix build error with klibc due to recent changes o merge o add wait_for_sysfs test script to the tarball to help people debug their boxes o add ipsec to wait_for_sysfs ignore list o added ccdv to bk ignore list o a few more Makefile tweaks for the quiet feature o Make the build silent, thanks to a helper program from ncftp o rename files to have '_' instead of '-' in them o change max time to wait in wait_for_sysfs to 10 seconds to hopefully handle some slow machines o add support for class/raw/ to wait_for_sysfs o fix up Makefile for wait_for_sysfs udev_version.h dependancy o remove the debian specific file, as they don't want to share with the rest of the world :( Kay Sievers: o prevent deadlocks on an corrupt udev database o wait_for_sysfs_update Michael Buesch: o fix asmlinkage o fix incompatible pointer type warning Summary of changes from v035 to v036 ====================== Greg Kroah-Hartman: o add the error number to the error message in wait_for_sysfs to help out in debugging problems Summary of changes from v034 to v035 ====================== Greg Kroah-Hartman: o added ieee1394 support to wait_for_sysfs o update wait_for_sysfs with a bunch more devices thanks to user reports ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
