Hi Greg,
here are the updated patches for udev, please ignore all previous sent.
Included is the man page update, support for subdir creation/removal,
basic node ownership support and a namedev correction.
thanks,
Kay
01-udev.8.diff:
man page style fixes
present the tiny udev in bold font :)
02-udev-add.c-subdirs.diff:
02-udev-remove.c-subdirs.diff:
support subdirectory creation/removal for NAME="/devfs/is/crazy/video0"
create parent subdirs for device node if needed
remove subdirs when last node is removed
03-udev-add.c-set_owner.diff
set uid/gid of node specified in udev.permissions
only numeric id's are supported cause we can't resolve with
klibc or libc before real /etc is mounted
04-namedev.c-cleanup.diff
remove part of udev that appends the kernel enumeration to character devices
in LABEL method: NAME="webcam" results in /udev/webcam0

Thanks, I've applied this, and fixed the patch so that it will build
with older versions of gcc.

Hm, are you sure this patch is correct? What happened to your other one
where you could put a '%' in the string to put the number into the name?
I think this patch breaks partition naming, did you try it on them?
Thanks a lot for your changes, I really apprecate them,

I think so, block devices are handled at line 580. At line 626 the last
digit from kernel name is appended to _every_ device including char devs.
Partition naming seems ok with the patch, but i may miss something here.

Alternate patch is attached, but i don't know if it is really useful.
It substitutes the '%' placeholder in NAME= with the kernel device
number.
thank,
Kay

Hm, if you take those lines out, I can't name a partition with the
number at the end of the name. Yeah, that's a hack, and I need to fix
it up.

I think we need more than just a %. Users might care about a few things
for the name. Like major, minor, and kernel device number (but it's
tricky to figure out what a device number is, think of sdaa...) I'll
work on fixing this up next.

What do you mean?
The partition name is crated with the number.

How can you create a partition name or name for any other char device
by a LABEL method without these "magic" number?
Sorry, do i get something completely wrong?
thanks,
Kay

With no rules, yes.

Problem is, if you use the LABEL rule to match a device, like a SCSI
vendor, then all of the partitions, as well as the main block device,
will end up with the same name. That's why I added the "add the number"
hack to the LABEL rule.
So yes, your patch is correct in that we shouldn't always be adding the
number to any match for LABEL (like for char devices), but if we do
that, then we break partitions. Your '%' patch fixes this, but I'd just
like to extend it a bit. Let me see what I can come up with...

Oh, I see. Do you mean something like this:

That would at least be part of the solution I'm looking for. How about
extra format characters for bus_id and for the result of a callout program?
What I really need is a way to generate names for my devices without
having to list each one in the configuration file in its own line. With
the old devfs naming scheme, the dasda1 block device would become visible
as /dev/dasd/0.0.0203/part1, where 0.0.0203 is the bus_id. I've tried
implementing at least autogeneration of /udev/dasd-0.0.0203p1, but I haven't
found an easy way to get from the partition's sysfs_class_device to the
corresponding sysfs_device in get_attr().
Also, do I get problems with the database implementation when I try
to use the same configuration file entry for all devices using the same
driver or similar?

Very nice, this is exactly what I was thinking of. I've applied your
patchs (the first one wasn't necessary, as I already did that a few days
ago.)
thanks again, I really appreciate the help.

Take a look at the current bk tree (which has moved to
bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/udev/ ) I've made finding that device a lot
easier now, and it works for all rule types.

You shouldn't. udev doesn't care about drivers, only names of devices.

Cause we only match against a already known result of the callout program,
it doesn't make much sense to provide a format character without support of
wildcards for ID. Is this what we want to do?
By the way: What about putting udev.tdb at /udev/.udev.tdb?
We get FHS compliance by leaving /etc and
get in memory db if mounted as ramfs for free :)
thanks,
Kay

Correct, with the current CALLOUT rule definition, there is not much point in
that. I was rather thinking of either adding support for globbing to callout
or having another rule that runs an external program and can take its output
into account:
a)
CALLOUT, PROGRAM="/sbin/dasd_id" BUS="ccw", ID="dasd-*", NAME="%i%n"
b)
DCALLOUT, DRIVER="dasd-eckd", PROGRAM="/sbin/dasd_id", NAME="%i%n"

Great, just what I was missing. I didn't see the any link to the bk
repository. Here's the patch for the bus_id. I'll need to think about
the handling of callout results a bit more.
