The script is not + installed but is part of the tarball. - - fix "prefix" usage for path to scsi_id.config +Detailed changes: - - install the sample scsi_id.config file. + - Add man page verbage about usage with udev, and running via + hotplug - - Use DESTDIR in all install/uninstall rules, per problem reported - by Svetoslav Slavtchev. + - Disable support for -e (all output to stderr) as it cannot be + used in any useful way, and the -c (device specific callout) as + the code is incomplete and has no users. - - Fix to work with current sysfs 0.4, based on patch from Dan - Stekloff, but uses sysfs_read_attribute_value instead of - sysfs_get_value_from_attributes. + - Don't print errno for NULL return from sysfs_get_classdev_device. - - SYSFS_BUS_DIR was replaced with SYSFS_BUS_NAME. + - Get rid of dead/leftover code that checked if we are on a scsi + bus. - - Must now use sysfs_open_class_device_path instead of the - previous sysfs_open_class_device. + - ":" consistently in output messages. - - patch from Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> remove DEBUG and - add --fno-builtin + - Add missing new lines for some error messages. + + - open O_NONBLOCK so we handle tape drives without tapes loaded. + + - Remove hacks based on KLIBC define to get around problems when + building with udev (udev libsysfs files were rearranged). + + - As done in udev code, support partitions via looking for a + parent of the target path. Uses libsysfs functions to do most of + the work, and includes changing a lot of variables to be struct + sysfs_device instead of sysfs_class_device. |
