I like it. It's essentially all the questions we've been asking already,
but it's nice to have it listed as such. Does this mean we go back and
run all our current packages through the ringer now? :P
Which reminds me, we might want to consider what to do about hotplug in
the near future. The latest version is nearly a year old and hotplug-ng
seems to be dead (Alexander pointed this out to me).
hotplug-ng _is_ dead, superseded by the MODALIAS environment variable
available in hotplug events and sysfs in linux >= 2.6.12 and some udev
magic.
As to hotplug and udev, there is the following argument against them:
any troubleshooting on the lists or on IRC starts with building a
non-modular kernel, i.e. essentially with getting those packages out of
the way. Thus, the educational value is at least dubious.
I hope that avdantages (like hardware autodetection and persistent names
for USB storage devices) overweigh this, but your opinion may be different.
