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? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
