Subject: mkdir of /etc/.udev/rules.d/
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:21:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091103152119.GA14319@bongo.bofh.it> (raw)
udev_rules_new() in udev/udev-rules.c unconditionally creates the
directory.
This is a problem because the function is called also by e.g. udevadm
test, and creating /dev/.udev/ when it does not exist is an unacceptable
side effect which will break everything else that checks for its
existence to know if udev is running.
Why is this needed?
