Perhaps this is being looked at the wrong way. If (modern) LinuxCNC requires uDev support, then rather than try to make it work without on Hardy, what about flipping this around and require anyone who wants the latest and greatest to install uDev (which is presumably installable on Hardy via source or perhaps even a back-port repo somewhere). I realize you can't just "apt-get install", but back in The Old Days (TM), one didn't just click on a few buttons in the package manager to install things like ssh, or pam with shadow passwords (anyone remember building these from source because they weren't included in your distribution)? Is there anything other than uDev that's a show stopper for builds on older platforms? -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
