Those of you with hotplug problems care to test this and let us know if it
fixes
your problem(s)? Those without problems are welcome to test as well. ;)

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] 2004-04-20 release of hotplug scripts
To: linux-hotplug-devel AT lists.sourceforge.net,
linux-kernel AT vger.kernel.org, linux-usb-devel AT lists.sourceforge.net,
Linux-usb-users AT lists.sourceforge.net

I've just packaged up the latest Linux hotplug scripts into a release,
which can be found at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_09_20.tar.gz
or for those who like bz2 packages:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_09_20.tar.bz2

It contains a lot of little bug fixes, and the addition of the isapnp.rc
support.

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.

The release is still backwards compatible with 2.4, so there is no need
to worry about upgrading.

The full ChangeLog extract since the last release is included below for
those who want to know everything that's been changed, and who to blame
for them :)

thanks,

greg k-h

- 2004_09_20 release
- added README.modules to the makefile
- added support for blacklists easier
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60214
- ifrename is in /usr/sbin, not /sbin.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46760
- added isapnp support based on work from Simone Gotti
<simone.gotti AT email.it> and Marco d'Itri
- fix minor debug message in net.agent for Gentoo boxes
- allow *.usermap to have blank lines. (patch from Francesco Ferrara
<ferrara AT despammed.com>) at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49748
- add usbhid to the list of modules to unload on stop.
- fix issue with input devices (joysticks specifically) not being
loaded properly. (lots of gentoo bug ids...)
- fixed minor issue with usbfs being mounted but no host drivers
loaded
yet <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56599>
- From Marcel Holtmann <marcel AT holtmann.org>
- fix location of FIRMWARE_DIR to /lib/firmware
- From Bill Nottingham <notting AT redhat.com>
- support a a TwinMos mobile disk, as per
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111506
- Posix compliant changes From David Weinehall <tao AT kernel.org>
- changes tests using `-o' and `-a' to use || and &&
respectively.
- changes bash-specific functions to generic sh-functions,
adds
a missing newline at the end of a file, does a few `-o'
substitutions and changes /bin/bash to /bin/sh, since the
changes removes the need to use /bin/bash.
- Modifies the remaining non-bash scripts to remove use of the
bash:ism local (a quick audit shows that it's not needed),
substitutes `-a' and `-o', changes fgrep to grep -F (this
change is not strictly necessary, but recommended by the
POSIX standard), and one occurence of egrep to grep (since
this particular occurence didn't make use of extended
regexps
anyway)
- Modifies the remaining bash scripts to use generic
sh-functions instead of bash-specific functions, does `-a'
and `-o' substitutions, removes use of local, and finally
changes /bin/bash to /bin/sh
- From Alexander E. Patrakov
- Remove bogus dependency upon "which" and "usbmodules"
programs in 2.6 code path
- Add README.modules file
- Provide the correct DEVICE variable for USB coldplug events
for 2.6.x kernels. The grep ...\$ is used instead of tail
-c 4
because LFS has the tail command in /usr/bin. That's even
more illogical because head is in /bin.
This requires a 2.6.6 kernel. 2.6.4 is too old.
