I've just packaged up the latest Linux hotplug scripts into a release,
which can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17679
Or from your favorite kernel.org mirror at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2002_04_01.tar.gz
I've also packaged up a Red Hat 7.2 based rpm:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2002_04_01-1.noarch.rpm
The source rpm is available if you want to rebuild it for other distros
at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2002_04_01-1.src.rpm
The main web site for the linux-hotplug project can be found at:
http://linux-hotplug.sf.net/
which contains lots of documentation on the whole linux-hotplug
process. There are also links to kernel patches, not currently in the
main kernel tree, that provide hotplug functionality to new subsystems
(like CPU, SCSI, Memory, etc.)
The main changes in this release are the following:
- fixed potential temp file security exploit in the ieee1394
script.
- removed the fxload program from the package, moving back to
one package that is processor neutral (scripts only.) fxload
can now be released on its own, separate from the main
package.
Here's the changes (and who made them) from the last release:
Changes from David Brownell
- hotplug.functions: always run setup scripts
- ieee1394.agent: rm another explicit /etc/hotplug pathname
- usb.agent: doesn't skip usb.usermap
- usb.rc: hooks for other "new style" HCDs (2.5)
- distro should now include /etc/hotplug/{usb,pci} directories
- remove obsolete USBD_ENABLE option
- comments/diagnostics say "usbfs" not "usbdevfs"
- various comment/doc updates, including for USB "coldplug"
- fxload:
* fix bug in handling first hex record: nothing to merge with!
* add '-Wall' to build and resolve warnings
* Makefile installs fxload.8 man page
Changes from Fumitoshi UKAI
- etc/hotplug/ieee1394.agent: fix /tmp writable check
- usb.agent: match algorithm in usb_map_modules() should be the
same as in kernel.
Changes from me
- usb.rc: updated the list of modules that we should be trying to
remove.
- moved fxload to a separate directory, out of this package.
- updated the Makefile and .spec file to handle fxload moving away
- cleaned Makefile up, now 'make distrib' works much nicer.
- applied some minor cleanup patches from Landon Curt Noll.
- ieee1394.agent: made more like other .agent files. Removed /tmp
check entirely as it's not needed.
thanks,
