Description Ludwig Nussel 2005-08-15 15:21:17 UTC

- make it 644 instead of 755 as it's a text file  
- add a column for user and group 
- use a directory instead of a single file so other packages and admins can 
add additional entries without modifying the file.

In principle a good idea.

Kay?

Comment 2 Kay Sievers 2005-08-18 20:13:14 UTC

- permissions is fixed
- user/group sounds good, patch is welcome :)
- I don't like to introduce a directory and support that. I still hope
  static nodes are an exception and the kernel will be fixed where needed.
  For now I prefer to have control over it with the udev package.

Comment 3 Ludwig Nussel 2005-08-19 06:59:50 UTC

ok, what about adding a .local file instead of a directory then?

Comment 4 Kay Sievers 2005-10-21 02:44:46 UTC

We read now:
  /etc/udev/static_devices
  /etc/udev/static_devices.local

Format can be:
  name type major minor [mode owner group]
