Rewording Steev's comment, this wording comes across as rather more |
| 20 |
informal than most news items. I rather like the approach myself but it |
| 21 |
does rather stick out. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
A more formal approach might be: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Two points: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
1) CONFIG_FHANDLE=y is required in your kernel config for >=udev-209. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
2) ... |

| 36 |
That's a run-on sentence. Again, not acceptable in formal writing. |
| 37 |
Continuing from the above, here's a suggested point 2: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
2) The former /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules file is renamed to |
| 40 |
80-net-setup-link.rules in the same location. If you were overriding |
| 41 |
udev's predictable naming feature using an identically named file in |
| 42 |
/etc/udev/rules.d, either rename it accordingly or see the wiki link[1] |
| 43 |
below for other options. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Meanwhile, on the wiki I'd suggest stressing the kernel commandline |
| 47 |
option (mentioned further up the wiki page but not in the 208-to-209 |
| 48 |
section), since presumably it's not going to be constantly changing to |
| 49 |
suit systemd-udev's upstream whims, as the script name disabling method |
| 50 |
seems to be doing. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Optionally (and IMO preferred), make that the suggested solution in the |
| 53 |
news item with the following suggested text replacing the above: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
2) /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules is being renamed. If you |
| 56 |
were overriding it with an identically named file in /etc/udev/rules.d/, |
| 57 |
you'll need to change your override as well. We suggest using the |
| 58 |
net.ifnames=0 kernel commandline option method as that should remain |
| 59 |
stable through many udev releases. For other options and more detail, |
| 60 |
see the wiki link[1] below. |
