That is _not_ the "udev manual". I've also found that page to be |
| 9 |
frequently out of date (it still listed the comparison operator as '=' |
| 10 |
instead of '==' for months after that changed). |

o The rule keys support now more operations. This is documented in the |
| 23 |
man page. It is possible to add values to list-keys like the SYMLINK |
| 24 |
and RUN list with KEY+="value" and to clear the list by assigning KEY="". |
| 25 |
Also "final"-assignments are supported by using KEY:="value", which will |
| 26 |
prevent changing the key by any later rule. |

All rules are applied now, but only the first matching rule with a NAME-key |
| 31 |
will be applied. All later rules with NAME-key are completely ignored. This |
| 32 |
way system supplied symlinks or permissions gets applied to user-defined |
| 33 |
naming rules. |

So it looks like I am wrong about needing the := syntax when your rule |
| 37 |
assigns the NAME. I just tested the behavior with udev-090 and my USB |
| 38 |
flash drive, and it works as the RELEASE-NOTES say. But I also had a |
| 39 |
problem with naming my input devices that was fixed with the := |
| 40 |
syntax. |
