From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Anthony Awtrey Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2005 15:00:58 +0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Hotplug-Perl 1.1 Update Message-Id: <42A4652A.70207@idealcorp.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org ANNOUNCEMENT Version 1.1 of hotplug-perl is now available at: http://opensource.idealcorp.com/hotplug-perl/ CHANGES This release fixes a bug relating to pack/unpack functions on big-endian machines in the IEEE1394 / USB and INPUT modules bit tests. Thanks to J=F6rg Sommer for the report and the suggested fix. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Hotplug-perl is a boot speed performance oriented implementation of hotplug written in Perl. It requires a 2.6 kernel with hotplug and Perl 5.8. It was developed with Debian Sarge as the target, but should work elsewhere. The web page includes bootcharts demonstrating the performance improvement over the Bash implementation of hotplug. OTHER INFORMATION Since its release just over a month ago, Hotplug-Perl has been downloaded over 500 times, has been included in the CRUX linux distribution[1] and is being considered by Mandriva to address boot speed issues[2].
