udev (0.098-1) experimental; urgency=low Starting with this release the rules files keys BUS, ID, SYSFS and DRIVER have been deprecated. While rules using the old syntax will continue to work, custom rules files using these keys should be updated. For details please consult /usr/share/doc/udev/RELEASE-NOTES.gz . -- Marco d'Itri Thu, 24 Aug 2006 17:21:16 +0200 udev (0.097-1) unstable; urgency=low The %e parameter is not supported anymore and rules using it must be converted to use a different method. The cd-aliases.rules rules file has been replaced by the cd-aliases-generator.rules rules file which will automatically create rules for the /dev/cdrom* aliases. Scripts in /etc/dev.d/ and /etc/hotplug.d/ are not supported anymore unless the hotplugd.rules rules file is manually enabled. -- Marco d'Itri Thu, 17 Aug 2006 14:40:34 +0200 udev (0.090-1) unstable; urgency=low Starting with this release the z45_persistent-net-generator.rules rules file is installed by default. For every new network interface detected it will use the write_net_rules program to write to the z25_persistent-net.rules rules file a rule to make the interface name persistent across reboots. -- Marco d'Itri Wed, 19 Apr 2006 20:26:25 +0200 udev (0.072-2) unstable; urgency=medium All files in /etc/udev/scripts/ and /lib/hotplug/ and some files in /sbin/ have been moved to /lib/udev/. Any custom rules referencing programs in these directories must be updated. -- Marco d'Itri Sat, 5 Nov 2005 20:43:26 +0100 udev (0.070-3) unstable; urgency=low * hotplug and coldplug support has been merged in the udev package, which will load all the drivers needed as the beginning of the boot process and handle hotplug events later. The hotplug package has been disabled and should be manually purged. This makes the following configuration files obsolete: + /etc/hotplug/*.rc and *.agent: the old hotplug files are not used anymore. udev rules may be used to selectively disable coldplugging. + /etc/hotplug/usb/*.usermap: must be replaced by udev rules. + /etc/hotplug/blacklist*: should be replaced by modprobe configuration directives (but now /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ will be processed by modprobe). * Because all modules will be loaded erliear hotplug scripts must use only files not in /usr or wait for /usr to be mounted. Firmwares must be moved to /lib/firmware/. * udevtrigger does not guarantee anymore the loading order of modules, so if you have multiple CD readers, network cards, sound cards, etc they may change their name after a reboot. The package provides solutions to generate persistent names in most of these situations. -- Marco d'Itri Sun, 9 Oct 2005 17:12:54 +0200 udev (0.060-1) unstable; urgency=low * All rules are applied now, but only the first matching NAME attribute will be considered. It may be needed to add OPTIONS="last_rule" to custom rules to restore the precedent behavior. * The rules keys now support more operations, as documented in the man page. Rules which previously used "=" to add a value to a list-like variable should be changed to use "+=". -- Marco d'Itri Wed, 22 Jun 2005 21:42:22 +0200
