# Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@gentoo.org> (3 Jul 2009) # It needs libblkid provided by util-linux-2.16 not yet released >=sys-fs/udev-142 util-linux-2.16 is in ~arch, so this seems obsolete. also, this breaks devicekit-power from the gnome-overlay. Reproducible: Always
I think you're right about that mask entry being obsolete... assigning to udev maintainers.
Ok, the description is too old. Basically I wanted to wait for Bug #278302 to be resolved (all users of vol_id and libvolume_id being converted to blkid and libblkid). For now the only left issue is Bug #278305 (mdadm using vol_id in udev rules). So we can unmask udev soon. Another question is: How should all those udev extras be handled? For now they get enabled/disabled all together using USE=extras that is disabled by default.
don't unmask it. at least udev-145 is very unstable for me. all apps start crashing in *random* time. it needs testing.

(In reply to comment #4) > Please give some examples. Which apps do crash? any app may crash. mostly which do some active disk operations: emerge, gcc, firefox(working with sqlite?). but seems its reproducible not always, it may work fine on next boot for example. i've downgraded udev and now everything works fine. I don't want to test it anymore until it become stable.

mask removed.
