Summary: udev - an userspace implementation of devfs
Description:
Starting with the 2.5 kernel, all physical and virtual devices in a system are visible to userspace in a hierarchal fashion through sysfs. /sbin/hotplug provides a notification to userspace when any device is added or removed from the system. Using these two features, a userspace implementation of a dynamic /dev is now possible that can provide a very flexible device naming policy.

- New upstream release (118).
- Applied post-118 upstream changes (3f91a27d16cf5440f0cb1db7c5972b4924a41d01):
+ update mailing list address in documentation
+ do not skip RUN execution if device node removal fails
+ volume_id: fix UUID raw buffer usage
+ volume_id: add prefix=, exec_prefix=
+ volume_id: fix typo in function documentation
+ volume_id: update ext detection
- Updated udevd initscript:
+ if use_initramfs_dev="1" is set, convert udev database created in initramfs
to the current format
- udevconvertdb: Add support for 111 -> 112 conversion (udev database format
has changed again in release 112).
- Updated udev rules:
+ major resync with upstream
+ add usbfs rule for kernels >= 2.6.22
+ disable device file removal for /dev/ppp and /dev/net/tun
+ remove obsolete devfs-style /dev/misc/rtc symlink to /dev/rtc
+ if new-style /dev/rtc0 is present, symlink it to /dev/rtc
+ use ata_id to create persistent links for libata devices (fixes possible
truncation, but only with kernels >= 2.6.21); old links from SCSI emulation
info still kept for compatibility
+ do not create by-uuid/by-label links for whole disk devices (such links
would not be updated properly after media change)
+ use encoded label in persistent links instead of dropping unsafe characters
+ add ENV{REMOVE_CMD} invocation on remove events
+ fix names for bsg and aoe devices
+ ignore modprobe errors when using modalias
+ add rules to autoload tifm_sd, tifm_ms, memstick modules
+ remove broken rules for Tascam USB soundcards (should be moved to
alsa-firmware after fixing)
+ remove call to nonexistent /etc/alsa.d/udev-soundfont for emu10k1
+ remove broken "/usr/sbin/alsactl -F restore %n" invocation (#13592)
+ update persistent link creation for device mapper devices:
+ fix symlink priorities for snapshots (previously the symlink would point
at the original device directly, which would cause snapshot corruption
if used for writing)
+ add /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-*, /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-* symlinks
