[gentoo-dev] udev-032 script disabling

[gentoo-dev] udev-032 script disabling

[Jason Cooper]

I merged udev-032 yesterday and restarted udev.  Checking my dev tree I
saw a whole bunch of devices that weren't there before.  Liking a
minimal dev tree, I decided to fix it.  I found the new scripts
directory under /etc/udev/ and went looking in udev.conf for a way to
disable it.  It looks like the udev man page hasn't been updated yet, as
it doesn't mention a script directory at all.  

So for the short term I renamed /etc/udev/scripts to /etc/udev/.scripts
and restarted udev.  Seems to work.

Will a future version allow toggling the use of the scripts in that
directory?  Is there a reason why an average user needs those to run,
especially in light of things working fine before (well, at least for me
:) )?

tia,

Cooper.

damn.  I started going through the code (delusions of patch-writing
danced in my head) and saw "PROGRAM=", then I found it in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/50... Sorry for the noise.  

Just a thought, perhaps the scripts directory could be under rules.d?
That way it is not confused with something handled in udev.conf.

I don't understand what scripts are annoying you?  They've pretty much
always been used in the past versions of udev, nothing new has been
added in a while.
