Package: udev Version: 0.071-1 Severity: minor Tags: sid For hotplug and discover1, there were well documented ways of blacklisting certain modules or devices. We could really use a bit of documentation on this with the new udev now that it has replaced hotplug and discover.
There was no obvious documentaiton on the "right" way to create udev rules to allow packages to blacklist certain modules. For example, the alsa-base package could create /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/alsa-base which would contain a list of OSS sound modules that conflict with ALSA. Likewise, since I use the cx88 dvb video module and never need/want the cx88 analog module to load, I had a file: /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/<my-machine-name> that contained a list of modules I wanted to never load. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages udev depends on: ii initscripts 2.86.ds1-4 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libselinux1 1.26-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.8-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii lsb-base 3.0-9 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-78 creates device files in /dev ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor udev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
