Once again, patch to make logging a config option.
Reason for this (since you asked for it):
- In our setup it is easy (although still annoying) .. just edit the
ebuild, add logging support (or remove it) and rebuild. For say a
binary distro, having the logging is useful for debugging some
times, but its more a once of, or rare thing, as you do not add or
change config files every day. Sure, we can have logging by
default, but many do not want ~300 lines of extra debugging in their
logs is not pleasant, and they will complain. Rebuilding the
package for that binary package (given the users it is targeted to)
is usually not within most users grasp.
I've edited the man page today, so this is alreay included :)
Also a few more trivials:
o added the defaults to udev.conf.in
o removed class_dev from get_default_mode(), to match with Hanna's
o changed size of mode_str to MODE_SIZE
o changed a few char compares from from 0x00 to '\0'
This patch fixes a bug where the udev database stored empty strings
for Owner and Group if they were default. This patch stores the default
value into the database if not set otherwise. See example output:
crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Jan 16 11:13 ttyS1
P: /class/tty/ttyS1
N: ttyS1
S:
O: root
G: root
This is a bit of a hack. However, until udev supports setting the
o/g values they will be root/root anyway so the database might as
well reflect the truth instead of empty strings.

Here is a slightly better version. I've created a logging.h file and
moved the debug macros from udev.h in there.
If you type:
'make' - you will get a binary that prints one or two lines to syslog
if a device node is created or deleted
'make LOG=false' - you get a binary that prints asolutely nothing
'make DEBUG=true' - the same as today, it will print all debug lines
the older udev.config file is now called udev.rules.
This allows us to better control configuration values, and move away from
the environment variables.
