[gentoo-user] udevinfo - where is it
Hi, I have a recent GenToo system (udev-130-r1) but I cannot find the utility 'udevinfo' Which package contains it? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

With my udev-124-r1 it is in the udev package. But /usr/bin/udevinfo is just a symlink to /sbin/udevadm, so maybe you should look for the latter. Add: Just built 130-r1. In the messages for it is: If you build an initramfs including udev, then please make sure that the /sbin/udevadm binary gets included, and your scripts changed to use it, as it replaces the old helper apps udevinfo, udevtrigger, ...

I believe /sbin/udevadm looks like a replacement, but I'm not sure. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany udev has some problem with upgrading and loosing functions. I noticed this a while ago. But all udev function like udevinfo, udevmonitor are symlinks to udevadm. You can get all functionalities with udevadm info/monitor etc. http://www.portagefilelist.de signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

(just a note: the symlinks are not installed automatically here) Helmut. Being curious and learning I didn't have the udevinfo symlink, I created it and ran it: # ( cd /sbin ; ln -s udevadm udevinfo ) # udevinfo the program '/bin/bash' called 'udevinfo', it should use 'udevadm info options', this will stop working in a future release missing option I understand this to mean that the symlinks are obsolete and are being deleted by newer ebuilds.
