udev-024-2 for Fedora

In udev-024-2, which will appear on fedora development this day I have done the following:

o added central config file for udev
/etc/sysconfig/udev which contains
-----------------------------------------------

# set USE_UDEV to yes, if you want to use udev
#
USE_UDEV="yes"

# if selinux file attributes
# should be restored (leave to yes, if unsure)
UDEV_SELINUX="yes"

# if console permissions (pam_console)
# should be restored (leave to yes, if unsure)
UDEV_CONSOLE="yes"

# if dbus messages should be sent
UDEV_DBUS="no"
-----------------------------------------------

for that, I had to make /etc/hotplug.d/default/udev.hotplug a shell script, which tests for USE_UDEV and then exec's udevsend

o added dbus, selinux and pam_console support through these scripts:
/etc/dev.d/default/dbus.dev /etc/dev.d/default/pam_console.dev /etc/dev.d/default/selinux.dev

dbus.dev calls /usr/sbin/udev_dbus which has Kay's latest dbus patch

pam_console.dev calls pam_console_setowner, which is basically a modified pam_console_apply, which only modifies one file. (no glob on /dev, thus no readdir on /dev every time)

selinux.dev just calls
# restorecon $DEVNAME
which makes udev_selinux somehow obsolete.

o set up the config file to use directories for permissions and rules

	/etc/udev/permissions.d/00-udev.permissions
	/etc/udev/rules.d/00-udev.rules

I've had the same '00-' filenames, but in most cases the user wants to place its rules _before_ the system supplied rules.
Shouldn't we better increase the leading number of the default file a bit? :)

thanks,
Kay

Hmm, thought about that too, what about 50? Though the rule set is small and the permissions should really be that way.

Looks very nice, I've added most of the dev.d files to the udev tarball, thanks.
