With the "permissions only rules" we can just place:
MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="root"
at the beginning of the rules file and get exactly the same behavior.
If no values are given the compiled-in defaults are used.

Patch-From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch>
- Move the description of the environment variables to a new section
called "ENVIRONMENT" (as stated in man(7))
- Pointer to the "official" udev homepage
- Fixes for various typos and whitespace damages
|
|
Thanks-To: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch>
While crawling through the udev manpage I noticed some typos and other
grammatical errors. English is not my native language, so I'm not sure
if I fixed everything right. I would be glad if any English-speaking
person could check this patch before applying.

Add UDEV_LOG to the man udev man page. Remove mention of specific
variables from the udevd/udevsend man page as we changed to pass
the whole environment.
Correct printed Usage: of udevtest and udevinfo.
Init the config in udevtest earlier to accept input with and without
the sysfs mount point.

Some broken ide drivers are generating high event traffic, with
add/remove events. With this attribute, it can be specified,
that the node is always available. It may be used in conjunction
with the new DRIVER= match to catch specific kernel device drivers.
|
|
Match with a rule against a device with a specific kernel driver.
|
|
This should make it easier to catch e.g all block or net devices with
a single rule.
|
|
This makes the udev operation completely lockless by storing a
file for every node in /dev/.udevdb/* This solved the problem
with deadlocking concurrent udev processes waiting for each other
to release the file lock under heavy load.

We once implemented the devfsd feature to set the owner of a device node
to the "local" user. This was before we had the dev.d/ scripts. We discussed
a similar issue with D-BUS recently and this should be better handled depending
on the distributions way to do such a thing.
I'm for removing this here as this can be easily covered by a dev.d/
script.
Here is the patch if nobody objects :)

Here we remove all the sysfs sleep loops from udev as wait_for_sysfs
will do this for us and any other hotplug user. We still keep a small
blacklist of subsystems we don't care about but any missing entry here
will no longer lead to a spinning udev waiting for files.

That's a good way of putting it, yeah.

Good point, I've changed that.

Done. I've also added an example.
Also, Kay pointed out offlist that the rules can be written to not
require a shell script; this actually works
KERNEL="sr*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
KERNEL="scd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
KERNEL="pcd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom", NAME="\%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
KERNEL="fd[0-9]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e"
KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="floppy", NAME=\"%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e"
New patch is attached.

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

Small cleanup of the wording in the udev. man page.
