Why was the group changed in the first place? It was part of the github initial commit so that 'git blame' didn't really explain and unfortunately I am not sure how to test gpsd. I did test removing the sed, I don't see anything broken yet. Uff, now you are asking tricky questions... A quick google search suggests that other distributions are referencing the group "dialout" for serial devices, at least back before 2012. I think at this point it seems like a done deal, everything else that I'm aware of is using group "dialout", so I think the correct answer is that However, I think this bug can be closed, because eudev is going away? In answer to your question, the sed changes the udev rules, which in turn set default permissions on devices identified by those rules. So check if you have matching devices, hotplug them and if they aren't being set, then probably you have another rule masking it... Is there any disagreement to moving to group "dialout"?? |
