Brian, I noticed that you changed the rules files quite a bit. I've not looked at the layout much before and have a couple of questions.
1. There is a doc directory that explains each rule file. Is there a reason that we can't just incorporate these .txt files as comments in the rules files themselves? 2. I would be in favor of changing the dialout group to tty which would allow us to drop several rules. 3. I think the 51- rules should be renamed to 55- to allow users to place their own rules between the udev default and ours without modifying either. 4. It states in the book that continuation of rules are not allowed with a backslash-newline combination. In udev-116's udev_rules_parse.c, it looks like backslashes are recognized. The function is parse_file and starts at line 657 of the file. Checking git, it appears that this has been available since 20 Dec 2004: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=9f8dfa19cfd2b502bf794f39a421cbb7c4cc0404 This was released in udev-051. If continuation lines are indeed allowed, I think we can make our rules with long lines look better with this feature. We would also need to change the book. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
