Yes, see the RELEASE-NOTES for 061: http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=RELEASE-NOTES At the same time HAL was changed and released to work with the new udev. Note: Randomly upgrading critical parts of the system, without resolving all package requirements for the kernel, udev, hal, hal-susbsytem-managers like NetworkManager, dbus, desktop-integration like gnome-volume-manager, will probably break your setup. We have complex interdependencies today and we will get even more of this while moving forward providing a better hardware integration into the whole system. We just started to move in that direction, so be prepared ... :) Distros will need to have a well defined release cycle and package maintainers which keep the package requirements up-to-date and make coordinated efforts to synchronize the package versions, otherwise they may not be able to provide a working setup. HAL depends on a certain udev version and udev depends on a specific kernel version. Upgrading only a subset of the packages may render a part or the whole system unusable. > > And BTW, I *think* that "udev_log" in udev.conf (and maybe other > > entries?) should be uppercased.

The file is also a real configuration file of the programs. Right! All the binary udev tools parse this file. This is the primary use of this file, while sourcing it in with a shell works too. (UDEV_LOG is exported from the udev tools after reading it from the config file, but with the log priority in its numerial representation not the text used in the config.)
