Repository for eudev development
bbbe503ec1
Here is a patch to change the netdev handling in the database and for the dev.d/ calls. I applies on top of the udevd.patch, cause klibc has no sysinfo(). o netdev's are also put into our database now. I want this for the udevruler gui to get a list of all handled devices. All devices in the db are stamped with the system uptime value at the creation time. 'udevinfo -d' prints it. o the DEVPATH value is the key for udevdb, but if we rename a netdev, the name is replaced in the kernel, so we add the changed name to the db to match with the remove event. NOTE: The dev.d/ scripts still get the original name from the hotplug call. Should we replace DEVPATH with the new name too? o We now only add a device to the db, if we have successfully created the main node or successfully renamed a netdev. This is the main part of the patch, cause I needed to clean the retval passing trough all the functions used for node creation. o DEVNODE sounds a bit ugly for netdev's so I exported DEVNAME too. Can we change the name? o I've added a UDEV_NO_DEVD to possibly skip the script execution and used it in udev-test.pl. udevstart is the same horror now, if you have scripts with logging statements in dev.d/ it takes minutes to finish, can we skip the scripts here too? o The get_device_type() function is changed to be more strict, cause 'udevinfo -a -p /block/' gets a class device for it and tries to print the major/minor values. o bugfix, the RESULT value has now a working newline removal and a test for this case. |

udev - a userspace implementation of devfs
For more information on the design, and structure of this project, see the
files in the docs/ directory.
To use:
- You must be running a 2.6 version of the Linux kernel.
- Your 2.6 kernel must have had CONFIG_HOTPLUG enabled when it was built.
- Make sure sysfs is mounted. udev will figure out where sysfs is mounted, but
the traditional place for it is at /sys. You can mount it by hand by running:
mount -t sysfs none /sys
- Make sure you have the latest version of the linux-hotplug scripts. They are
available at linux-hotplug.sf.net or from your local kernel.org mirror at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/
They are required in order for udev to work properly.
If for some reason you do not install the hotplug scripts, you must tell the
kernel to point the hotplug binary at wherever you install udev at. This can
be done by:
echo "/sbin/udev" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
- Build the project:
make
Note:
There are a number of different flags that you can use when building
udev. They are as follows:
prefix
set this to the default root that you want udev to be
installed into. This works just like the 'configure --prefix'
script does. Default value is ''. Only override this if you
really know what you are doing.
USE_KLIBC
if set to 'true', udev is built and linked against the
included version of klibc. Default value is 'false'.
USE_LOG
if set to 'true', udev will emit messages to the syslog when
it creates or removes device nodes. This is helpful to see
what udev is doing. This is enabled by default. Note, if you
are building udev against klibc it is recommended that you
disable this option (due to klibc's syslog implementation.)
DEBUG
if set to 'true', debugging messages will be sent to the syslog
as udev is run. Default value is 'false'.
KERNEL_DIR
If this is not set it will default to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
This is used if USE_KLIBC=true to find the kernel include
directory that klibc needs to build against. This must be set
if you are not building udev while running a 2.6 kernel.
So, if you want to build udev using klibc with debugging messages, you
would do:
make USE_KLIBC=true DEBUG=true
- Install the project:
make install
This will put the udev binary in /sbin, create the /udev and /etc/udev
directories, and place the udev configuration files in /etc/udev. You
will probably want to edit the namedev.* files to create custom naming
rules. More info on how the config files are set up are contained in
comments in the files, and is located in the documentation.
- Add and remove devices from the system and marvel as nodes are created
and removed in /udev/ based on the device types.
- If you later get sick of it, uninstall it:
make uninstall
Things are still quite rough, but it should work properly. If nothing
seems to happen, make sure your build worked properly by running the
udev-test.pl script as root in the test/ subdirectory of the udev source
tree.
Development and documentation help is very much appreciated, see the TODO
file for a list of things left to be done.
