* debian/rules.d/60-symlinks.rules:
  - Add /dev/rtc symlink pointing to the CMOS RTC if it exists (almost
    always rtc0, but we match properly by driver). LP: #252924.

113. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2008-10-23

* debian/rules.d/65-id-type.rules:
  - Ensure that ID_TYPE is set to "disk" for block devices that are
    likely disks, or "cd" for those that are likely CDs. In some cases
    this has been lost in favour of $DEVTYPE, but many things (including
    our installer) haven't caught up. LP: #287807.

Backport addition of /dev/{block,char}/maj:min symlinks from latest
udev rules; this mirrors the /sys/dev/{block,char}/maj:min symlinks
found in our current kernel.

If you have a device node, stat() it to obtain type, major and minor
and readlink /sys/dev/{block,char}/maj:min to obtain the sysfs path
of that device.

If you have a sysfs path, read the "dev" file to obtain major and minor
(it's char unless in the block subsystem), and then readlink
/dev/{block,char}/maj:min to obtain the device node.

re-introduce the change of 124-3, but make sure it only ignores these
errors in a vserver environment.

Revert the previous upload.

This would cause a failure to install the package correctly to be ignored,
and could result in ordinary systems not booting.

* debian/udev.postinst:
  - don't fail to install/upgrade in a vserver environment by ignoring
    errors of mknod. LP: #144685

108. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2008-07-14

* debian/udev.initramfs-hook:
  - Remove mention of pnp_modules. LP: #248378.

107. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2008-07-14

* New upstream release:
  - udevmonitor, udevtest, udevcontrol and udevtrigger symlinks removed
  - abstract namespace socket paths should be prefixed with @
  - cdrom_id replaced by a better version
  - scsi_id no longer depends on sysfs
  - 05-udev-early.rules removed

* Patches from git dropped due to upstream update.
* Dropped 50-vol_id-on-entire-disk.patch, as noted in the changelog, this
  was a temporary measure and should be fixed by the kernel.

* Drop pnp_modules now that recent kernels export module aliases for these
  module groups.

106. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2008-04-11

Remove cruft from diff.gz that prevented build.
