From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Allin Cottrell Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:52:17 +0000 Subject: update path for undev + systemd Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I wonder if there's a recommended path/method for updating from udev 175 + systemd 37 to the current versions? Given the reorganization of files in both packages it's quite easy to end up with a fscked system (as I did today -- system not bootable; had to boot from CD, remove the new versions and reinstall the old). With udev one can force the use of the old /lib/udev location by giving --with-rootlibdir=/lib --libexecdir=/lib, but I didn't find a way of making current git systemd install into /lib/systemd; even configuring with --with-rootlibdir=/lib, all files that used to go into /lib/systemd go into /usr/lib/systemd. In principle I have no problem with everything going under /usr/lib, it's just that it seems the chances of a successful update would be better if the old files were overwritten rather than the new ones being installed in parallel. Thanks for any guidance. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University, NC
