It just occurred to me that this mailing list might possibly be used by more than one project (horrors!), so I should probably specify that the patches in the previous mail are aimed at v4l-utils.

If so, it's only older distros that I wouldn't expect to be packaging newer versions of v4l-utils (e.g. RHEL won't as I understand it), and for Fedora, if "rawhide" is devel tree, then I'm pretty sure you're mistaken. > In a matter of fact, looking at RHEL6 (udev-147-2.35.el6.x86_64), it has both.

But /etc/udev/rules.d/ should exist regardless, and it's not at all a matter of personal taste, as I understand it. /lib/udev/rules.d/ is the location for packaged and general default rules files to be placed, and /etc/udev/rules.d/ is where autogenerated rules (such as those that create persistent symlinks for optical and network devices) are placed, as well as admin- and system-specific override rules (e.g. a file named 10-blah.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ would completely override a file of the same name in /lib/udev/rules.d/). The point I'm trying to make is this: you lose nothing in the way of user customization by defaulting to /lib/udev/rules.d/ - you simply force it to happen the way that upstream udev intends. The only thing you lose is support for older udev releases, and I'm not sure that's a big concern :-) (CC'd udev mail list so that someone can LART me if I'm wrong) ;-) -RW ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

We've packaged v4l-utils for RHEL, via epel[1]. I volunteered to maintain it for RHEL6, as I use it on my machine and I would be doing it anyway for me, so better to maintain it for the others also ;) [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/v4l-utils I don't intend to maintain it for RHEL5, but I was told that lots of mythtv users run CentOS (based on RHEL5).

Do you know, by any chance, what's the minimal udev version where /lib/udev exists?
