No room for overriding LFS udev rules

[alexander@…]

I want to override the default "cdrom" udev rule locally on my computer, but I don't want to touch the file with udev rules provided by LFS. Specifically, I want to put the following rules in a separate file:

BUS="ide", KERNEL="*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/model", \

RESULT="PHILIPS CDD5301", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="dvd cdrw", \ GROUP="cdrom"

BUS="ide", KERNEL="*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/model", \

RESULT="SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-148F", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom", \ GROUP="cdrom"

I want them to take priority over the defaults provided by LFS. I can achieve that by naming the file properly - it should go lexicographically before anything provided, i.e. before 00-lfs.rules. I.e., 00-aep.rules is ok, 00-media.rules will not work.

Not very much room... I wish we had a 25-lfs.rules file instead of 00-lfs.rules

• then just numbering the file with my custom rules below 25 would do what I want.

Agreed, this should be changed as Alexander has suggested.

Does the 00-lfs.permissions file need changing too? I'd think it'd be better to be consistent and have them both set to 25-lfs.*, no?

The bug is indeed fixed in both testing and unstable books. Marking as verified.
