It can be found at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-004.tar.gz Thanks to Robert Love, there are now rpms available at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-004-1.i386.rpm with the source rpm at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-004-1.src.rpm udev is a implementation of devfs in userspace using sysfs and /sbin/hotplug. It requires a 2.6 kernel to run properly. The major changes since the 003 release are: - MAJOR speedups over the previous version. No more "sleep(1)" always, we now wait for the "dev" file to show up, and not blindly guess. - partitions now work again. - removal of devices that were named differently from the kernel name work properly. - proper spec file. - a man page with real content. - sync up with current version of libsysfs. Many thanks to Dan Stekloff, Kay Sievers, and Robert Love for their help with patches for this release. I really appreciate it. The full ChangeLog can be found below. The udev FAQ can be found at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ Development of udev is done in a BitKeeper tree available at: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/udev/ If anyone ever wants a snapshot of the current tree, due to not using BitKeeper, or other reasons, is always available at any time by asking. thanks, greg k-h Summary of changes from v003 to v004 ====================== Daniel E.
