Description Lenz Grimmer 2005-09-12 09:46:09 UTC 
The RC1 release notes have a paragraph about PCMCIA, which states "All necessary
actions are executed by hotplug." - but wasn't hotplug dropped in the meanwhile?
Comment 1 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-12 10:02:08 UTC 
Christian, please comment and suggest changes.

Karl, this is ok if Christian agrees.
Comment 2 Christian Zoz 2005-09-12 10:40:47 UTC 
We dropped the package hotplug, but not the functionality hotplug. So this
statement is still true.

But we should add another release note:

Hotplug events are now completely handled from udevd. We don't use event
multiplexer /etc/hotplug.d and /etc/dev.d anymore. Instead udevd calls all
necessary hotplug helper tools directly, according to its rules. Udev rules and
helper tools are provided from different packages.

Please improve.

Andreas, please approve the additional release note.
Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-12 11:12:57 UTC 
Approved.

   <title>Hotplug Events Handled by the udev Daemon</title>

   <para>
Hotplug events are now completely handled by the udev daemon
(<command>udevd</command>).  We do not use the event multiplexer system in
<filename>/etc/hotplug.d</filename> and <filename>/etc/dev.d</filename>
anymore. Instead <command>udevd</command> calls all hotplug helper tools
directly, according to its rules. Udev rules and helper tools are provided by
udev and various other packages.
