Description: 
 udev       - rule-based device node and kernel event manager
 udev-udeb  - rule-based device node and kernel event manager
Changes: 
 udev (076-0ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   "There's nothing we can't face ... except for bunnies!"
 .
   * New upstream release:
     - udev daemon is now run on startup, rather than first event
     - events are received exclusively over the netlink socket, you should
       leave /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug empty from now on.
     - events with a TIMEOUT are now processed immediately
     - disks can now be accessed through /dev/disk/by-label/ and
       /dev/disk/by-uuid/ if you know what disk you're looking for, but not
       what kernel-assigned name it has.
     - device nodes with default name and no symlink are no longer stored in
       the udevdb.
     - the "udev_db" option has been removed, and the udevdb moved to
       /dev/.udev/db
     - when there are queued events, /dev/.udev/queue will exist and contain
       symlinks to the appropriate /sys paths for each event
     - exit status of programs called by RUN rules is now tracked
     - if an event fails, /dev/.udev/failed will exist and contain symlinks
       to the appropriate /sys paths; this can be used to replay failed events
       later
     - rules with NAME="" will cause no device node to be created, but RUN
       keys will still be run.  Use OPTION "ignore_device" to completely
       ignore an event.
     - added WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="<attribute>" key to rule syntax, all built-in
       logic to work around timing has been removed and instead this rule
       should be used where necessary
     - syntax to test for existance of environment variable changed from
       ENV{KEY}=="*" to ENV{KEY}=="?*"
     - communication with daemons such as hal can now be done using sockets,
       use RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"
 .
   * Repackaged for Ubuntu, we have sufficiently far digressed from Debian,
     especially in dealing with users trying to break their system, that
     it makes sense to just maintain our own package now.  Ironically this
     makes it easier to send patches back as we don't have to strip out the
     "back out stuff" hunks first.
   * Completely replaces the functionality of the hotplug package, which will
     be removed by installing this.  If you had custom /etc/hotplug.d or
     /etc/dev.d scripts, you will need to update those to be called by a udev
     rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/8?-*.rules
   * Depends on grepmap directly for the last remaining subsystems that don't
     produce MODALIAS variables, rather than indirectly using the old hotplug
     agents.
   * Provides its own initramfs-tools hook and scripts, replacing the /dev
     functionality that used to be built into it.
 .
   * The plain udev binary and udevstart are no longer shipped; all events are
     received over the netlink socket by udevd and processed internally.  The
     general functionality of udevstart has been replaced by udevplug.
   * /etc/udev/links.conf is gone and instead replaced by the /lib/udev/devices
     directory.  If you need any extra device nodes, symlinks or placed in
     /dev on boot just place them here; they're copied over when the system
     starts.
   * The udev_root and udev_rules config options have been removed, if you
     really want to change these, you can; but beware that you'll need to
     change a lot of other things too -- they were just too difficult to
     reliably support when combined with initramfs.
   * All scripts removed from /etc/udev/scripts, instead replacements (often
     binaries for speed) are shipped in /lib/udev; you can replace them by
     adding your own and adjusting the rules.
 .
   * All rules are now placed directly in /etc/udev/rules.d, rather than
     symlinking them in.
   * All of the default rules have been replaced with new rules; if you had
     modified the old ones they will be disabled but left in /etc/udev for
     you (with a .dpkg-bak name).  You'll need to update your rules for the
     new system, and place them in a new /etc/udev/rules.d/50-*.rules file.
