Bug 195607 – sys-fs/udev-115-r6 breaks CAPI

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2007-10-12 10:49:48 UTC]

at least latest udev rules (I detected it with sys-fs/udev-115-r6) CAPI is broken and unusable.

REASON:
following lines are missing in *.rules

# capi devices
KERNEL=="capi", NAME="capi20", SYMLINK+="isdn/capi20", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="capi*", NAME="capi/%n", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660"

after adding a custom rule with above lines, CAPI is working again.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Does capi require one special package to be installed? If yes the rules should be part of this package.

This error occurs since udev-115-r5

well, there is net-dialup/capi4k-utils, which is needed for using CAPI. I can include it there, no problem; it's my package. But it was historically always included in UDEV, so it's odd that it was removed w/o any notice.

I will "pimp up" net-dialup/capi4k-utils asap (i.e. this weekend).

But a quick(er) fix would to block net-dialup/capi4k-utils-20050718-r1 to -r3 with udev-115-r5 and above.

Well, you may have not noticed, but there was a major udev redesign starting from udev-115-r2. w/o notice: Look at thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/51484 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/51750

You also can block >=udev-115-r2 from within capi4k-utils.

ok, I will block it for the time being within capi4k-utils. At least for the current ones. And then I try to rev-bump with added udev-rules.

[Comment 6 Matthias Schwarzott 2007-10-21 20:37:19 UTC]

Added this rule back to udev-116-r1.
