LFS book should mention udev test suite

[Ivan Wagner]

While it's true that the release tarballs do not include the files to successfully run the test suite, it's something that can easily be downloaded. See ​http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295958 for reference.

The test suite requires "tree" ​http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg03853.html

I don't have a problem adding 'tree' to LFS in order to ensure udev is working correctly. Thanks for the heads up!

tree is indeed a very simle CMMI application, but it is not really needed for udev. It is only used in the perl script if a failure occurs. A sed to change 'tree' to 'ls' in udev-test.pl would handle the issue for lfs.

I retrieved the testfiles and will upload.

I unpacked from within udev-157/ with:

tar -xf ../udev-157-testfiles.tar.bz2 --strip-components=1

and ran 'sudo make check'. All tests passed. Note that for Chapter 6, we are already root so the sudo is obviously not needed.
