Bug Description
The README file incorrectly claims that "files in this directory are read by udev(7) and used when events
are performed by the kernel."
In fact, only files ending with ".rules" are read by udev(7). I propose this NEW PARAGRAPH
Files placed in this directory with a filename suffix of ".rules" are read by
udev(7) and used when events are performed by the kernel. The udev
daemon watches this directory with inotify so that changes to these
files are automatically picked up, for this reason they must be files and
not symlinks to another location as in the case in Debian.
to replace this OLD PARAGRAPH:
The files in this directory are read by udev(7) and used when events
are performed by the kernel. The udev daemon watches this directory
with inotify so that changes to these files are automatically picked
up, for this reason they must be files and not symlinks to another
location as in the case in Debian.
