2014-10-28udev hwdb: Support shipping pre-compiled database in system imagesMartin Pitt
In some cases it is preferable to ship system images with a pre-generated binary hwdb database, to avoid having to build it at runtime, avoid shipping the source hwdb files, or avoid storing large binary files in /etc. So if hwdb.bin does not exist in /etc/udev/, fall back to looking for it in UDEVLIBEXECDIR. This keeps the possibility to add files to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/ and re-generating the database which trumps the one in /usr/lib. Add a new --usr flag to "udevadm hwdb --update" which puts the database into UDEVLIBEXECDIR. Adjust systemd-udev-hwdb-update.service to not generate the file in /etc if we already have it in /usr.
2014-07-31man: add udev.conf(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
We generally have separate man pages for all configuration files. In this case udev.conf was already described in systemd-udevd.service(8), but it was hard to find. Docbook makes it hard to add a .so link from a different section, so describe udev.conf in its own page.
2014-04-13udev: remove seqnum API and all assumptions about seqnumsKay Sievers
The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending. Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore when namespaces are involved.

2014-02-14man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO, so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code, STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard output, etc.
2014-02-14man: fix grammatical errors and other formatting issuesJason St. John
* standardize capitalization of STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR * reword some sentences for clarity * reflow some very long lines to be shorter than ~80 characters * add some missing <literal>, <constant>, <varname>, <option>, and <filename> tags

Also clean things up a bit here and there.
2013-10-15man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes…

And remove documentation of the --subsystem flag which doesn't actually exist.

2012-11-17hwdb: revert hwdb.bin back to /etc/udevZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
> Kay: udev is early boot without /var. /var is entirely taboo for udev. This partially reverts commit ee623f0d0c04a9c8da4953ddc29862c8c4945458 (moving hwdb.bin is reverted, but the uninstall hook and cosmetic changes remain).
2012-11-16hwdb: use $(localstatedir)/lib/udev/hwdb.bin for the binary databaseZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It's not configuration, so it doesn't belong in udev. Also, remove the catalog when uninstalling udev.

2012-06-22man: refer to udevd by its service name not binary nameLennart Poettering
Since the binary name is now hidden away in /usr/lib/ the primary user handle for the udev service is the unit name, hence change the man page to be available under the unit name, and make the binary name an alias for it.
