Yes, I can try.
There was no way to tell not to do anything so I created one. Errors
are signalled via negative return values, so I thought that a positive,
non-zero one could mean to ignore the device. I don't like it but
perhaps you have a better solution.
|

This one is nothing important, just add some quotes to be more consistent
with the rest and make sure that the return value is positive (since the
error return values are negative). Hmm?

Thanks to Kay for the original patch, and the idea.
|
|
As usual, here is the corresponding man page update and
a small text correction.
|

Here is a slightly better version that prints the usage if a unknown option is given:
kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -x
./udev: invalid option -- x
Usage: [-qrVh]
-q arg query database
-r print udev root
-V print udev version
-h print this help text

enough stuff.

Here's a patch that adds a signal handler to udev to
clean up the environment (close the sysbus and close
the database) on kill-signals.
|
|
Seems like we need the following patch to do
proper sysbus cleanup, if udevdb_init() fails.
|

#ifdef crud from the main code.

Attached is a patch against udev-008 to send out a D-BUS message when a
device node is added or removed.
Using D-BUS lingo, udev acquires the org.kernel.udev service and sends
out a NodeCreated or NodeDeleted signal on the
org.kernel.udev.NodeMonitor interface. Each signal carries two
parameters: the node in question and the corresponding sysfs path.
[Note: the D-BUS concepts of service, interface, object can be a bit
confusing at first glance]
An example program listening for these messages looks like this
#!/usr/bin/python
import dbus
import gtk
def udev_signal_received(dbus_iface, member, service, object_path, message):
[filename, sysfs_path] = message.get_args_list()
if member=='NodeCreated':
print 'Node %s created for %s'%(filename, sysfs_path)
elif member=='NodeDeleted':
print 'Node %s deleted for %s'%(filename, sysfs_path)
def main():
bus = dbus.Bus(dbus.Bus.TYPE_SYSTEM)
bus.add_signal_receiver(udev_signal_received,
'org.kernel.udev.NodeMonitor', # interface
'org.kernel.udev', # service
'/org/kernel/udev/NodeMonitor') # object
gtk.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
and this is the output when hot-plugging some usb-storage.
[david@laptop udev-008]$ ~/node_monitor.py
Node /udev/sda created for /block/sda
Node /udev/sda1 created for /block/sda/sda1
Node /udev/sda1 deleted for /block/sda/sda1
Node /udev/sda deleted for /block/sda
The patch requires D-BUS 0.20 or later while the python example program
requires D-BUS from CVS as I only recently applied a patch against the
python bindings.

Now there are only 3 valid environment test variables. The rest can be
specified with the config file.
|
|
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.
|
|
be LSB compliant
Finally the Debian people can get off my back...
|
|
01-overall-whitespace+debug-text-conditioning.diff
o cleanup whitespace
o clarify a few comments
o enclose all printed debug string values in ''
|

and udev.config
the namedev name didn't really make much sense anymore...
|
|
|
|
config variables
This will make running tests a lot simpler.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
This patch:
1) removes the three database files for just one udevdb.tdb file.
2) adds udevdb_init() and udevdb_exit() functions
3) initializes database now in main() in udev.c.
Please look it over.

needs lots more cleanup, but is much nicer than doing this by hand...
|

.permission parsing works, .config needs more work.
