I find this difficult to decipher. Who is it aimed at ? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've just updated to Udev 200 . Following the news item, |
| 7 |
I renamed /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules : |
| 8 |
my script to start my I/net connection with DHCP failed. |
| 9 |
I restored the file to its old name & all works as usual : |
| 10 |
it has 'NAME="eth0"'. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I am always aware of & grateful for the unpaid efforts of Gentoo devs, |
| 13 |
but I'm not pleased with confused or confusing news items. |

The first thing any news item should make clear is its audience : |
| 16 |
"If you are using ABC or belong to the group describable as DEF, |
| 17 |
then you need to do GHI". Clearly, I don't fall into the group |
| 18 |
at whom the Udev news item is aimed, perhaps those with > 1 net card. |
| 19 |
What proportion of Gentoo users fall into that group ? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
HTH improve news items. |
