That's a good question. Debian says that recent 2.6 kernel packages "require"
udev. Based on that, and the fact that recent kernels have a udev line in the
"Current Minimal Requirements" section of Documentation/Changes,
I (wrongly, it seems) inferred that something had changed in recent
(kernel.org) kernel sources that made them incompatible with hotplug.
Since I often compile my own kernel, I suppose I don't have to obey debian
kernel policies too closely.
Considering my lack of interest in dynamic /dev filesystem support, which of
hotplug
hotplug-ng
udev
would people here recommend I use?
I notice that there hasn't been a new hotplug release in over a year. Is it
unmaintained, or has it simply not needed updating?
