| |
I've released the 039 version of udev. It can be found at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-039.tar.gz
udev allows users to have a dynamic /dev and provides the ability to have persistent device names. It uses sysfs and /sbin/hotplug and runs entirely in userspace. It requires a 2.6 kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG enabled to run. Please see the udev FAQ for any questions about it: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ
For any udev vs devfs questions anyone might have, please see: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev_vs_devfs
And there is a general udev web page at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html
This release fixes a few major bugs: - the config file and manpage are now properly generated - wait_for_sysfs is updated for lots of new devices - firmware downloading should now work properly, sorry about that, udev shouldn't have stopped that from happening... - scsi_id bug fix update.
Thanks to everyone who has send me patches for this release, a full list of everyone, and their changes is below.
udev development is done in a BitKeeper repository located at: bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/udev
Daily snapshots of udev from the BitKeeper tree can be found at: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/bitkeeper/udev/ If anyone ever wants a tarball of the current bk tree, just email me.
thanks,
greg k-h
