[ANNOUNCE] udev 100 release

[ANNOUNCE] udev 100 release

[Kay Sievers]

Here comes a new udev version. Thanks to everybody who
helped finding bugs or sending fixes.

The tarball can be found here:
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug

The development repository can be found here:
  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=summary

udev 100
====
Revert persistent-storage ata-serial '_' '-' replacement.

udev 099
====
Bugfixes.

Udevtrigger can now filter the list of devices to be triggered. Matches
for subsystems or sysfs attributes can be specified.

The entries in /dev/.udev/queue and /dev/.udev/failed have changed to
zero-sized files to avoid pointing to /sys and confuse broken tools
which scan the /dev directory. To retry failed events, udevtrigger
--retry-failed should be used now.

The rules and scripts to create udev rules for persistent network
devices and optical drives are in the extras/rules_generator directory
now. If you use something similar, please consider replacing your own
version with this, to share the support effort. The rule_generator
installs its own rules into /etc/udev/rules.d.

The cdrom_id tool installs its own rule now in /etc/udev/rules.d, cause
the rule_generator depends on cdrom_id to be called in an earlier rule.

Ok, I'll drop our own implementation in the Mandriva package once our
2007.0 release is out (we're currently in freeze, so that's after
September 2006).

The rules generators have been for a lot more time in Mandriva, but
they were almost similar (maybe just a bit less featured than
Debian's)
I'll send relevant patches, if any.

Thanks for including some generators officially in udev!

are you interested in device path based rules (see message from Alexander 
Patrakov)?
