And which docs are these ?? - not the man pages - not the info pages - Not in any FAQ that I saw - Not in the comments in my udev.conf file.. If you want people to read the friendly manual, be so kind as to point at which manual you are talking about... Or you are just causing MORE problems, not preventing future ones .. and being a real jerk while you are at it.. If you are telling me I should sit there and watch the entire output of emerge -uDp world, the gentoo docs *explicity* tell you to go do something else while that's happening.. Or should I just re-open this as a "missing docs" bug...

Thanks. > I still don't know where you found that warning jakob, but not only are you rude, but you are wrong: By default permissions are now set in: /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules Which is not the main udev.conf file. At least in gentoo as of last week when I did the make world and etc-update This is a bug then, in whatever documentation you got that from. tata Mr. Moc (In reply to comment #6) > I still don't know where you found that warning jakob, but not only are you > rude, but you are wrong: I got it from ebuild's ewarn itself, and failure to read the ebuild instructions and documentation on writing udev rules is not a bug. Ebuild message logging is another bug, please move your comments there. Finally, Gentoo is providing an ebuild, not a learning course on how to set up udev rules. Once again, you are setting the rules in a wrong place, which is not parsed by udev at all. Closing. . |
