In the grand tradition of releasing free software projects on my birthday
for the past few years.
And yes, I skipped version 041, call it grumpyness in my old age...
This patch exposes the wait_for_sysfs functions to all possible users,
so we need to maintain only one list of exceptions. The last list is
hereby removed from udev.c.
Hey, we got consistent source filenames today. Let's go ahead :)
I once started this ambitiuos curses gui to edit udev rules files.
udevruler still lays dead around in the tree. I will not finish it
and it is not really useful at his state. If nobody wants to do
something for it, I'm for deleting it.
This patch fixes the reintroduced bug with the
sig_handler(), if we link against a -mregparm=3 compiled
klibc on i386.
It also fixes some compiler warnings about redefined
asmlinkage on some systems.
Also some (broken?) compilers on distros throw out warnings
if asmlinkage is before "static void". This fixes it, too.
Here is a revised version of the patch. Again, it modifies the Makefile
to respect the prefix= setting when putting paths to
/etc/udev/{rules.s,permissions.d} into the built /etc/udev/udev.conf
file. It also changes the Makefile to create this file at "make" time,
not "make install" time. This allows for udevdir to be specified at
"make" time (thus putting the correct path into udev.conf), but not
specified at "make install" time (thus allowing the installation to
proceed without trying to use the wrong directory).

New version with more devices excluded from /device-link saerch and
a better maching for device names.
We ran into problems with all the /etc/hotplug.d/ scripts that sleep for
the sysfs files or for other reasons. Anyway, it takes much too much time
before udev is executed.
HAL has its own notifier in /etc/hotplug.d/ and also waits for the
dev.d/events with the same SEQNUM. Sometimes it take 25 seconds between
these two events, cause the other scripts are sleeping too much :)
Attached is a patch that installs the udevsend symlink as
10-udev.hotplug instead of udev.hotplug, to be executed earlier.

Hi,
The following patch makes udev/udevstart be a common binary. First,
doing this grows udev by a total of 1.8kB (ppc32, stripped) whereas
udevstart by itself is 6.4kB. I know you mentioned being able to
replace udevstart with a script, but at 1.8kB I don't think it'll be
easy to beat this with size there. Next, the following are by-eye
timings of before, after, and with devfs on a slow, but still usable
embedded platform (config stripped down to more-or-less bare for
ramdisk):
-- Embedded Planet RPX LITE, 64Mhz MPC 823e --
devfs : 15.333s, 15.253s, 14.988s (15.191s avg)
udev-pristine : 18.675s, 18.079s, 18.418s (18.390s avg)
udev-multi : 14.587s, 14.747s, 14.868s (14.734s avg)
The patch ends up being rather large to add this, as in doing so I ended
up making all refs (that I hit..) to devpath/subsystem be marked as
'const'.

Here we catch up, after the default config changes.
o the man page is updated to reflect the new default config
o /etc/udev/rules.d/ + permissions.d/ dirs are created now
o udev.rules is installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
so the user can easily order the files by prepending a number.
(RedHat has the same name in the last rpm.)
o defined directory names in the Makefile are all without slashes now,
not the first half with and the remaining without.
o all binaries are uninstalled now
o leading slashes in config values are now removed or prepended while the
config is parsed, so we are more robust if the usere changes something.
o replaced the macros from udev_config.c with real code, cause we can
skip if the value matches and not useless iterate over the remaining
fields.
o config parsing errors are logged with info() now, fixes the bug where
we report a error with debug_parse(), even when there isn't one
