2005-04-26[PATCH] support log-priority levels in udev.confkay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd: serialization of the event sequence of a chain of deviceskay.sievers@vrfy.org
Currently udevd delays only events for the same DEVPATH. Example of an "add" event sequence: /block/sda /block/sda/sda1 With this change, we make sure, that the udev process handling /block/sda has finished its work (waited for all attributes, created the node) before we fork the udev event for /block/sda/sda1. This way the event for sda1 can be sure, that the node for the main device is already created (may be useful for disk labels). It will not affect any parallel device handling, only the sequence of the devices directory chain is serialized. The 10.000 disks plugged in will still run as parallel events. :) The main motivation to do this is the program execution of the dev.d/ and hotplug.d/ directory. If we don't wait for the parent event to exit, we can't be sure that the executed scripts are run in the right order.

2005-04-26[PATCH] update the man pages and correct Usage: hintskay.sievers@vrfy.org
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.

2005-04-26[PATCH] increase udevd event timeoutkay.sievers@vrfy.org
I have a very slow Bluetooth adapter hotplug event call, so we need to increase the event timeout to something larger than 6 seconds.

2005-04-26[PATCH] man page beautykay.sievers@vrfy.org
Thanks to Christian Gierke, he sent me a beauty patch for our man pages. Some typos are fixed and a few word are clarified.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - man page updatekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Hey it's not longer the "goal" to provide a dynamic dev directory, we have just arrived. So I change it to more self-confident words :) I've also added the completly missing environment variables to the man pages. To stop the misuse of the PROGRAM= call paramenters, we better mention its limitations.
2005-04-26[PATCH] manpage updatekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Nice, here is the corresponding man update which also removes the mention of the limitation of getgrname() and friends with klibc.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - add %s{filename} to man pagekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Add the new %s{filename} to the udev man page. And add the automatic start of udevd to the udevd man page.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - udevd/udevsend man pagekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the missing man page for udevd/udevsend.
