That's the only change I think is required, solely by looking at NEWS in
the tarball. The paths that udev will find firmware have changed, but
/lib/firmware, which we install, is still valid.
Udev now also supports setting private variables via 'ENV{.FOO}='
(note the '.' before the variable name) which won't be stored in
Udev's DB or exported by the event. We don't have any variables with
that naming convention in udev-config so won't regress anywhere because
of that. Nor can I immediately think of a use-case for private variables.
I have patches for the E2fsprogs & Udev upgrades in my local working copy
but haven't kicked off a build yet.
Regards,
Matt.
