| |
I've just packaged up the latest Linux hotplug scripts into a release, which can be found at: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_09_20.tar.gz or for those who like bz2 packages: kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_09_20.tar.bz2
It contains a lot of little bug fixes, and the addition of the isapnp.rc support.
The main web site for the linux-hotplug project can be found at: http://linux-hotplug.sf.net/ which contains lots of documentation on the whole linux-hotplug process.
The release is still backwards compatible with 2.4, so there is no need to worry about upgrading.
The full ChangeLog extract since the last release is included below for those who want to know everything that's been changed, and who to blame for them :)
thanks,
greg k-h
Mon Sep 20 2004 kroah - 2004_09_20 release - added README.modules to the makefile - added support for blacklists easier http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60214 - ifrename is in /usr/sbin, not /sbin. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46760 - added isapnp support based on work from Simone Gotti <simone.gotti@email.it> and Marco d'Itri - fix minor debug message in net.agent for Gentoo boxes - allow *.usermap to have blank lines. (patch from Francesco Ferrara <ferrara@despammed.com>) at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49748 - add usbhid to the list of modules to unload on stop. - fix issue with input devices (joysticks specifically) not being loaded properly. (lots of gentoo bug ids...) - fixed minor issue with usbfs being mounted but no host drivers loaded yet <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56599> - From Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> - fix location of FIRMWARE_DIR to /lib/firmware - From Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> - support a a TwinMos mobile disk, as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111506 - Posix compliant changes From David Weinehall <tao@kernel.org> - changes tests using `-o' and `-a' to use || and && respectively. - changes bash-specific functions to generic sh-functions, adds a missing newline at the end of a file, does a few `-o' substitutions and changes /bin/bash to /bin/sh, since the changes removes the need to use /bin/bash. - Modifies the remaining non-bash scripts to remove use of the bash:ism local (a quick audit shows that it's not needed), substitutes `-a' and `-o', changes fgrep to grep -F (this change is not strictly necessary, but recommended by the POSIX standard), and one occurence of egrep to grep (since this particular occurence didn't make use of extended regexps anyway) - Modifies the remaining bash scripts to use generic sh-functions instead of bash-specific functions, does `-a' and `-o' substitutions, removes use of local, and finally changes /bin/bash to /bin/sh - From Alexander E. Patrakov - Remove bogus dependency upon "which" and "usbmodules" programs in 2.6 code path - Add README.modules file - Provide the correct DEVICE variable for USB coldplug events for 2.6.x kernels. The grep ...\$ is used instead of tail -c 4 because LFS has the tail command in /usr/bin. That's even more illogical because head is in /bin. This requires a 2.6.6 kernel. 2.6.4 is too old. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
