[Bug 978294] Re: Device name limited to 39 characters

[Ryan Finnie]

I did not get around to posting to upstream-upstream yet, after noticing
there was an updated release from 2008 that was not packaged in Debian.
The net result of that is I will be adopting Debian-upstream (see
http://bugs.debian.org/668334) and will shortly be reaching out to
upstream-upstream in that capacity. :)

Title:
  Device name limited to 39 characters

Status in “digitemp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Recent udev in Ubuntu includes nifty permanent mappings for serial
  devices; for example, my 1wire master shows up as /dev/serial/by-id
  /usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A800bZvc-if00-port0.  However, when I try to
  use this with digitemp:

  $ sudo digitemp_DS9097U -w -s /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A800bZvc-if00-port0

  Error, serial port '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_U' does not exists!

  Attached is a patch bumping this limit from 39 (40 minus null) chars
  to 1023 (1024), fixing the problem:

  $ sudo digitemp_DS9097U -w -s /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A800bZvc-if00-port0
