Bug 239296 – sys-apps/usb_modeswitch-0.9.4 stabilisation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) 2008-10-01 22:31:42 UTC]

Hi, 
please stabilize sys-apps/usb_modeswitch, I'm using it regularly for about 6 months now (see #213973 - I used the software even before it was in the tree)  and had no problems at all.

Thanks!

recent sys-fs/udev store rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

Don't know when it all started, but *if* if was 1.06, please bump to 0.94-r1 as follows:

The file "91-usb_modeswitch.rules" placed into directory "/etc/udev/". This is not correct. The right place is "/etc/udev/rules.d".

[Comment 3 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) 2008-12-06 13:59:28 UTC]

http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html:
"When deciding how to name a device and which additional actions to perform, udev reads a series of rules files. These files are kept in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory, and they all must have the .rules suffix."

It seems that all udev ebuilds in tree use that path.
There is a new version that supports more devices; the new ebuild is for 0.9.5, contains the fix, and changes einfo a bit.

Yes, true. 0.9.5 adds support for a lot of more devices, so I think it is a recommended update.

Also, the earliest udev version in portage is 114, so I think we can safely remove that udev version check in the ebuild.

[Comment 7 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) 2008-12-06 15:08:18 UTC]

I also thought about that, but:
a) the check does not break anything
b) users that did not update yet (for whatever reason) wouldn't be pleased if we removed it
