I refuse to spawn yet another program in this path, which is already too
slow. I have no plan to fix this.

Yeah, hotplug needs fixing *sigh*

Subject: Backup files in blacklist.d not ignored

Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-17
Severity: normal

/etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions:

    if grep -q "^$(echo $MODULE|sed -e 's/[-_]/[-_]/g')\$" $HOTPLUG_DIR/blacklist $HOTPLUG_DIR/blacklist.d/* >/dev/null 2>&1; then

This processes _all_ the files in $HOTPLUG_DIR/blacklist.d/ without
ignoring those that are backup files, e.g., foo.dpkg-old. The
hotplug package avoids this sort of problem in other cases by requiring
a special file suffix. It may be too late to require such a suffix for
names of files in blacklist.d. Perhaps "run-parts --list" can be used
to obtain the list of active files in the directory instead of shell
glob.

It's an interesting point that with udev, we won't be doing any form of module
blacklisting ... we should think about that a bit -- modprobe $MODALIAS may not
be quite enough, we'd have to make sure we still have support for blacklisting
things.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

hotplug doesn't exist, and modprobe doesn't use those files.

In Debian modprobe does respect hotplug blacklist files. Is Dapper different?

Yes, see ubuntu-devel-announce post for the full details, but in summary we're
not supporting the old-format files until Beta because we want to make sure
nothing in Ubuntu itself relies on them; and the easiest way is to break things.

For beta, we may re-enable the files, or convert them automatically... I'm
increasingly leaning towards the latter because it's a simple enough process and
if we can automate it, it's better for our users.

[Thomas Hood (jdthood)]

I have just updated linux-sound-base (in svn) so that it generates
modprobe blacklist files as well as hotplug and discover blacklist
files. The latter could probably be removed, but I'll do that later.

This package has been removed from Debian unstable. I'm therefore
closing this bug report. The package has been removed because it
has been superseded by udev. It's quite unlikely that your bug still
exists in udev, but if it does, please let me know.
