Taking a look at tickets, a couple which I think could be closed: #3023 udev rules for automount of pendrive - I loathe automounting. This appears to require pmount, and therefore is a plea for a new package. According to debian:
pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia project and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum. If a LUKS capable cryptsetup package is installed, pmount is able to transparently mount encrypted volumes. Also note that I haven't looked at the rule attached to the ticket, so no comment on whether or not it works for more than the originator's pen sticks - my own collection of sticks has grown over the years and from time to time I have to add new rules because they show up differently - at the moment I match on "USB Flash Memory", "DISK 2.0", "EHCI Host Controller" (really!) for "sd?1". I can see that a rule would be useful if pmount was in the book, but I don't think it belongs there on its own. Any other views, e.g. does someone use pmount ? For me, writing my own rules and creating mountpoints for memory sticks and cameras is part of the process, so I am inclined to wontfix. #3159 cups libusb permissions - dj created this on the basis that cups now requires libusb to use USB printers. I put my comment (saw the report, but I don't need it, with an epson using cups, ghostscript, gutenprint) and there it has sat. I did build libusb to get gudev built for gnome, but other than that I've never used libusb - my printer works fine without it, so on the basis of my own printer I could close this as worksforme. Are people still needing libusb to print on usb printers? For me the report is invalid, but usb devices vary so much, and there are so many different requirements for printers, that perhaps it does apply to a subset of printers ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
