broken rule_generator in beta3, master (???)

[ssuominengentoo]

The following commit is part of beta3, master:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/src/udev?id=97595710b77aa162ca5e20da57d0a1ed7355eaad

This will make it impossible to rename into kernel reserved names like eth0, eth1, wlan0, wlan1, ...

Yet the old rule_generator was brought back. How can it work if the generated rules are getting ignored?

Or are you using now different namespace, free namespace, like lan* and wireless* in the rule_generator? If so, then sorry, I must have missed it.

I don't think the old rule_generator should have been brought back. Let's see what Ian has to say else I'll just drop it again. I don't want to reintroduce 9759571 because it looks potentially racey.

It was brought back conditionally see ENABLE_RULE_GENERATOR in configurea.c. So, either, we need a AC_SUBST and to bracket that code conditionally, or we need to just drop it.

The conservative option may be wisest here.

I've now added this code conditional on --enable-rule-generator. See df016d6

looks good to me, but I didn't test it, feel free to close this ticket when you want (gentoo-x86 should be fixed too?)

[blueness]

eudev-9999 has the fix. i'll push out 1_beta4 later today and close this if there are no problems.

eudev-1_beta4 is in gentoo-x86.
