After having been deprecated for a long time, support for map files in the /etc/hotplug/usb/ directory will be removed from the udev-hotplug subsystem. This is scheduled to happen next month, when most of the current hotplug package will be replaced by a new coldplug program which will be part of udev.
While udev provides and currently enables by default an helper program to maintain compatibility with /etc/hotplug.d/, no such program exists for map files and I do not think it would be useful to write one (conversion to hotplug.d scripts would be easier). This means that the following packages will have to convert their map files to udev rules files. Please remember that rules files MUST NOT be installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/ but in /etc/udev/, and packages should create symlinks to rules.d/ only when installed for the first time and never again. If you want to keep support for 2.4-based systems which can only use the old hotplug package then you will need to convert your script to an hotplug.d script, but please remember that future versions of udev will disable by default processing of hotplug.d and dev.d. Let me know if you have any questions or need help to fix your package. Many of the scripts can be replaced with an udev rule to set the appropriate permissions or directly start/stop the relevant daemon, I added some comments below for a few packages which I checked. The affected packages are: libgpib-bin bluez-bcm203x eagle-usb-utils eciadsl gpsd hpoj pmp-common kino (just run killall or start-stop-daemon from the rule) libgphoto2-2 (should use a proper rule to change the permissions) nut-usb kcontrol (should use a proper rule to change the permissions) libnjb-hotplug openct sl-modem-daemon -- ciao, Marco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
