laptop. I use rEFind as a boot manager, as it it very straightforward,
and does a very nice job with all OS entries. I understand that there

Good idea; I'll add one.

Hi Isaac,
Excellent point about vdev_linux_sysfs_read_device_mode(). For the very
reason you mentioned, that code is on the way out. It was (incorrectly)
used in a couple other places in the past before I knew better, but right
now it's only use is in confirming that a device that has a known ma

While for comprehensive testing you need an array of real hardware (as
quirks vary wildly), for basic tests you can use VMs:

Hey Isaac, this looks great! Starred and watched :)
Related, I've just committed some (very) preliminary code for
libudev-compat in the vdev repository that's meant to be both API and
ABI-compatible with libudev. I think we're working towards the same

the first release will be almost the same as debian with the exception
of packages needing systemd. after that i dont know but we would need

Hello everyone. This is my first post, though I've been lurking on the
mailing list for awhile. Until now I've been content to shut up and let
