No. In fact, it's about to just be ripped out entirely from udev, we've had a lot of problems with it in the past :( > If so: can this be done by someone who isn't a fulltime programmer, eg: > me? ;-) No, I can't even do it :) > If not, how about creating a dummy-rpm that will only contain one file > (libsysfs.so.1), to fulfill the dependencies for those few programms > that still need it? Good luck doing that :) Why do you want to upgrade udev? It's such a low-level part of a Linux distribution, I would not suggest upgrading it unless you really know what you are doing. I'd really suggest just upgrading your whole distro. > > I wouldn't try to mess around with this at all, if you want to use a > > new udev, please upgrade to SuSE 10, which has a much newer version. > > When I will upgrade my system (and I don't mean "*if* I will upgrade"!), > it won't surely be another SuSE system, because I've had much to much > trouble with SuSE's distributions. Sorry to hear that. But you might find that the 10.0 release is a lot nicer in regards to udev usage, now that SuSE has a few of us working for them :) If not, then I know that RedHat Fedora, Gentoo, and Debian all have up-to-date udev support working just fine.
