hotplug++
T2 project has its own hotplug for pupulating /dev.
What do you think about hotplug++?
How this is better/worse than Arch's hwdetect?

Re: hotplug++
Arch doesn't use hwdetect anymore - it's all done by udev. Re the better/worse question, well, you'll need a C/C++ guru for that - and that's not me.

Re: hotplug++
These guys have obviously never heard about udev. But then, hotplug++ seems to be faster than udev.

Yes. :oops: But why there is /sbin/hwdetect in initscripts?

u/dev (and classic /dev support) - no devfs anymore
They know about udev and use it. But not as good as Arch.

Re: hotplug++
hwdetect is still used by mkinitrd - that's why it's still there. Expect it to disappear after mkinitcpio migration is complete.

Re: hotplug++
nah i don't think it will disappear, it's still usefull for getting a MODULES= array.
but it will have no major role on boot anymore, more a debug utility

I agree. The tool is tiny and still very useful and should stay.

Re: hotplug++
You can get a dump of modules for the MODULES array in one line....
modprobe --show-depends -a $(find /sys/devices -name modalias -exec cat {}+) | sort -u | sed -i "s|.*/(^/*).ko|1|g"Untested..... but still.

Re: hotplug++
find: missing argument to `-exec'
Usage: modprobe [-v] [-V] [-C config-file] [-n] [-i] [-q] [-b] [-o <modname>] <modname> [parameters...]
modprobe -r [-n] [-i] [-v] <modulename> ...
modprobe -l -t <dirname> [ -a <modulename> ...]
sed: no input filesYay for untested code.
