I use a chipdrive micro serial and it works fine with udev-115-r1. An upgrade to a newer version of udev is not possible. I can find nothing /dev/tts/* symlinks, there are no longer created. I'm not sure if towitoko or libchipcard uses these hardcoded device names, nevertheless it won't work without them. The libchipcard-daemon is still running, but the reader cannot be detected or accessed. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: It works fine with sys-fs/udev-115-r1

A new update of portage-tree indicates that some packages need >=sys-fs/udev-117, but the problem I wrote with use libchipcard and towitoko are not solved. An installation of latast stable udev-124-r1 makes the cardreader useless. As temporary solution I added following rule to 50-udev.default.rules: KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="tts/%n", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660" With this the reader works fine. But in top of the file I read this: "do not edit this file, it will be overwritten on update" What is the real solution for me?
As far as I know /dev/tts/* is an obsolete devfs-name for the serial port devices. Can't towitoko or libchipcard not just use /dev/ttyS* ? If you really need /dev/tts you can create it similar to what you already tried. Add a rule like this to a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ KERNEL=="ttyS[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="tts/%n" Custom rules should not overwrite NAME and also only add stuff to SYMLINK. Still better is to find out if your app cannot just use /dev/ttyS*
Created attachment 184368 [details] towitoko-2.0.7-r2.ebuild Can you test this ebuild? The deprecated dev-paths are caused by the --enable-devfs-parameter, which -r1 enabled. devfs is deprecated and the "classic" devicenames still work with udev, so we should probably just remove that. I have a towitoko serial reader, but not here at the moment so I can't test, will probably be able in a few weeks to do.
Sorry, I'm gentoo user, not developer. So I need some time to change and test towitoko-2.0.7-r2.ebuild. For me this ebuild work fine without /dev/tts/*. Thanks for help. Please add to the portage-tree.
should be fixed now. We should stable-mark -r2 within decent time to get it stable before the udev-changes go into stable.
