(sorry for being a moron, but where are these new releases announced?)

In Mandriva, the only big patch is a coldplug implementation in
udevstart (similar to udevsynthethize, but synchronous). It will be
dropped once we build a kernel package that provides uevent.

We've also moved udevinfo in /bin, since it is needed early at boot to
apply permissions on device nodes, before /usr is mounted. It uses the
pam_console.dev agent, that we install as /lib/udev/pam_console.dev

We also provide a script to convert hotplug usermaps to udev rules.
Camera and scanners aren't yet handled by hal, and some drivers still
don't use the standard way to load firmwares in the kernel. See:
http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/Udev#Hot_plug_usermaps

By the way, the ueagle-atm author want to use fxload in this new
driver, is there any good alternative? A ticket is opened there:
https://gna.org/task/?funcfitailitem&item_id'08

We don't use anymore the hotplug.d and dev.d directories, and we use
/lib/firwmare and /lib/udev, so the package is pretty "standard".

Finally, we added some agents for ieee1394, net, and input (all copied
from the old hotplug agents).

For a complete list of patches, scripts, rules, and packaging files,
see: http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/udev/
