Bryan Kadzban - 2008/05/23
- Upgrade Udev to 122, udev-config to 20080522, and lfs-bootscripts to 20080522. Replace "write_net_rules all_interfaces" with a "udevadm test" loop. Fix several typos. Remove the usb_id segfault patch, as it's included in Udev now. Add /lib/udev/devices/kmsg, as udevd uses /dev/kmsg to log a message at startup. Replace udevtrigger/udevinfo with "udevadm trigger" and "udevadm info" in the text. Should fix #2057, #2079, #2170, and #2186.
- Install a few rules from udev's etc/udev/packages/ directory to handle device-mapper (LVM and dm-raid), md-raid, and a few Palm device symlinks.
-
Bryan Kadzban - 2008/05/22
- Replace udevtrigger and udevsettle with "udevadm trigger" and "udevadm settle", for udev-122.
- Remove 81-firmware.rules, since its functionality is now included in 50-udev-default.rules. Remove the custom rule ignoring KERNEL=="device-mapper", since 50-udev-default.rules handles that as well. (This is more preparation for udev-122.)
-
Bryan Kadzban - 2008/05/19
- Old change that never got committed: Make the package work in a DESTDIR setup, where udevd can't be executed. (Do this by not using a version for the package subdirectory.)

Jeremy Huntwork - 2008/04/23
- Fixed kbd to build and install setkeycodes, getkeycodes and resizecons. Also move loadkeys to /bin from /usr/bin for use by the bootscripts. Thanks, Greg Schafer.
- Fixed behavior in kbd where man pages for optional programs that aren't built are installed. Thanks Greg Schafer for spotting this.

- Updated E2fsprogs to 1.40.8. Fixes #2173.
