Thanks for the help.

That's partially a temporary thing. I suppose I should have copied the
build logs, but for now you can view some here:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/development/

But it looks like the 6.3-rc1 directory is empty there, too. I'll
generate some logs before release, but the link should be fine.

I'd never noticed that before, but a little experimenting shows that
on our dummy C program, this is not true.

$ echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
$ gcc -g -O2 -c -o dummy1 dummy.c
$ gcc -g -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o dummy2 dummy.c
$ strip --strip-all dummy1 dummy2
$ cmp dummy1 dummy2
dummy1 dummy2 differ: byte 33, line 1

s/used used/used/'. Thanks. I also reworded it to not be so awkward.
How would you like to be referenced in the Changelog?

So, each device gets two lines: a comment description, then a udev
rule. So, I guess it should be clearer that the first line is a
comment. The rule looks correct and matches the description that I
see. All you're missing is an ATTRS{type}, and it's described as
optional. Which part exactly doesn't match what you expected?

Thanks for testing. Feel free to send more comments if you find them.
