udev 171 kernel requirement

Hello all,

I am one of the people who assists with maintaining udev on gentoo linux.

I noticed that the README for udev-171 states that udev 171 requires kernel 2.6.32. However, on gentoo, we currently have this open bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368403.

I figured out that the missing symbols appear in 2.6.34. So, is 2.6.34 the requirement for udev 171?

Thanks much,

William

Looks like this is just a build dependency. I will try hard to make udev keep supporting 2.6.32 to allow for simpler upgrades (some distributions actually support upgrading to the next release).

ciao,
Marco
