2005-04-26[PATCH] fix permission handling logicgreg@kroah.com
Now we can handle wildcards properly within the permission file.
2005-04-26[PATCH] add support for a main udev config file, udev.conf.greg@kroah.com
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.
2005-04-26[PATCH] split out the namedev config parsing logic to namedev_parse.cgreg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] overall whitespace + debug text conditioningkay.sievers@vrfy.org
01-overall-whitespace+debug-text-conditioning.diff o cleanup whitespace o clarify a few comments o enclose all printed debug string values in ''
2005-04-26[PATCH] got rid of struct device_attrgreg@kroah.com
namedev.c is still a mess, that's up next after testing...
2005-04-26[PATCH] make config files, sysfs root, and udev root configurable from ↵greg@kroah.com
config variables This will make running tests a lot simpler.
2005-04-26[PATCH] put config files and database in /etc/udev by defaultgreg@kroah.com
Can be overridden on the makefile line.
2005-04-26[PATCH] add callout config type to udevpatmans@us.ibm.com
This patch adds a callout config type to udev, so external programs can be called to get serial numbers or id's that are not available as a sysfs attribute.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udevdb prototypedsteklof@us.ibm.com
Here's an "idea" of what I had in mind for udevdb. Let me preface the code with a few remarks: 1) I was expecting to write this udevdb for udev to keep track of devices. I was planning an external package that depends upon udev to provide an external API to the udevdb database. The calls for the interface would be read only access. Not sure how you want to do packaging, if having a separate package is ok or having it included in udev. 2) I created it as it is because udev isn't a daemon. So, the open database call doesn't take any parameters. My plan was to create a udevdb_init function that took arguments for initializing the db to start, where you could specify in memory only or a file location. This can all be filled in. 3) I hacked the Makefile to get it to work. Not sure how you'd want that in the future. 4) This assumes TDB has been installed elsewhere, you would need to edit your Makefile and point it to the header and library locations. How do you want to do TDB in udev? Do you want to just reference it and make udev dependent on that package being installed. Or should we do what samba does and include a limited tdb version in udev? 5) Again, I hacked udev into your existing code. In the future, I'd probably make a function around the filling out the udevice before calling the store command. Didn't know if you wanted to change your add device function to use struct udevice rather than having everything separate. 6) Not sure what we should include in the udevice structure that's stored by udev. I made a stab at a first shot - we can add and remove of course, this was a first pass. I've come to realize - with you including libsysfs in udev, the "external" interface that references udevdb could make use of getting information from through libsysfs from sysfs and doesn't need to be in udevdb. 7) I could write a namedevdb for namedev's device management if you wanted.
2005-04-26[PATCH] make struct config_device contain a struct device_attr instead of ↵greg@kroah.com
duplicating the mess.
2005-04-26[PATCH] Clean up the namedev interface a bit, making the code smaller...greg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] add initial libsysfs support...greg@kroah.com
needs lots more cleanup, but is much nicer than doing this by hand...
2005-04-26[PATCH] Initial namedev parsing of config filesgreg@kroah.com
.permission parsing works, .config needs more work.
