Upgraded from sys-fs/udev-115-r1 to udev-119, no kernel update or other changes. Rebooted and now /dev/ttyS* devices are there but /dev/tts/* symlinks are no longer created. sys-fs/udev-115-r1's /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules contained the lines: KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660" KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/USB%n", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660" I can find nothing similar in sys-fs/udev-119. I don't know if these symlinks were purposely removed or if this is a bug. I am under the impression udev was moving to the /dev/tts/* naming scheme and away from /dev/ttyS* so seems like a bug to me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The output of `emerge --info` would be nice.
As we moved to the new ruleset that is shared between multiple distros there were changes to the rules, sure. We could add these rules if really needed: KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="tts/%n" KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="tts/USB%n" I was under the impression that /dev/tts/ was from the devfs naming scheme which is deprecated now,

FWIW, this behavior is the same on all machines I've deployed udev-119 on, which all have differring roles/emerge --info.

I could swear I read somewhere that this was the direction udev was going. If it is the case that /dev/tts/* symlinks were truly deprecated and udev upstream is purposely dropping them, I'd personally vote not to add them back.
So closing this issue as WONTFIX until someone proofes we DO need this.
