Bugzilla Bug 91733

The following code is in the svgalib ebuild, although it should probably check
the udev version as well, and install a rules.d file if its newer or equal to
than 052.

if [[ -e ${ROOT}/dev/.devfsd ]] ; then
                insinto /etc/devfs.d
                newins "${FILESDIR}"/svgalib.devfs svgalib
        elif [[ -e ${ROOT}/dev/.udev ]] ; then
                dodir /etc/udev/permissions.d
                echo "svga*:root:video:0660" > \
                        "${D}"/etc/udev/permissions.d/30-${PN}.permissions
        fi


Could I maybe suggest something like this?

elif [[ -e ${ROOT}/dev/.udev ]] ; then
    version=`udevinfo -V`
    version=${version//* }
    if [[ ${version} -ge 052 ]]; then
        dodir /etc/udev/rules.d
        echo "KERNEL="svga*", NAME="%k", MODE="0660" \
            "${D}"/etc/udev/rules.d/30-${PN}.rules
    else
        dodir /etc/udev/permissions.d
        echo "svga*:root:video:0660" > \
            "${D}"/etc/udev/permissions.d/30-${PN}.permissions
    fi
fi


although, might I add this isnt tested :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

ive cleaned up the ebuild to check the portage way (best_version udev) and
install rules.d / permissions.d files accordingly, thanks

side note, your quoting is wrong, it should be:
echo 'KERNEL="svga*" ...'

yeah I noticed once I posted it :) Missing > too.
Just wrote it into the bug on the fly.

Cheers.
