I was on the train for 5 hours today and the TODO is almost empty :)
So, at least four people wanted this feature, then here is a actual
working patch.
We may specify now in udev.conf:
udev_rules="/etc/udev/"
and udev will scan the whole directory for files ending with *.rules,
sort it in lexical order and create our rule list from all of the files.
A plain given file will still work and the same applies to the *.permissions.
I sort the files in our usual linked list, cause klibc has no scandir().
Here is the first try to create all partitons of a blockdevice, since
removable media devices may need to acces the expected partition to
revalidate the media.
It uses the attribute syntax introduced with the last %s{file} patch.
I'm using this with my multi-slot-flash-card-reader:
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-SMC ", NAME{all_partitions}="smartmedia"
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-CFC ", NAME{all_partitions}="compactflash"
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-MSC ", NAME{all_partitions}="memorystick"
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-MMC ", NAME{all_partitions}="multimedia"
and I get:
tree /udev/
/udev/

...
If needed, we can make the number of partions to create
adjustable with the attribute?

Better patch with infrastructure to easily implement KEY{attribute}
for every other key. The first user is the SYSFS{file} key.
Both versions, brackets or underscore is supported for the attribute.

Here is a slightly better version. I've created a logging.h file and
moved the debug macros from udev.h in there.
If you type:
'make' - you will get a binary that prints one or two lines to syslog
if a device node is created or deleted
'make LOG=false' - you get a binary that prints asolutely nothing
'make DEBUG=true' - the same as today, it will print all debug lines

Here is a slightly better version of the patch.
After a conversation with Patrick, we are now able to execute the PROGRAM
and also match in all following rules with the RESULT value from this exec.
EXAMPLE:
We have 7 rules with RESULT and 2 with PROGRAM.
Only the 5th rule matches with the callout result from the exec in the 4th rule.
RULES:
PROGRAM="/bin/echo abc", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-2"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-3"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-4"
PROGRAM="/bin/echo 123", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-5"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-yes"
RESULT:
Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule
Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check PROGRAM

Yes, I can try.
There was no way to tell not to do anything so I created one. Errors
are signalled via negative return values, so I thought that a positive,
non-zero one could mean to ignore the device. I don't like it but
perhaps you have a better solution.
o change the parsing to get a key from the rule and sort it
into our list of known keys instead of expecting a special order
o the key to match a sysfs file must be prependend by 'SYSFS_' now
to match with the new parsing.
(The config must be changed, but it's a bit more descriptive too.)
o put names of fields in define's, like the name of the methods
o update all tests and the man page

Here is a new version with relative link target path optimization
an better tests in udev-test.pl:
LABEL, BUS="scsi", vendor="IBM-ESXS", NAME="1/2/a/b/node", SYMLINK="1/2/c/d/symlink"
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink' to node '1/2/a/b/node' requested

Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_path: created 'udev-root/1/2/c/d'
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink(../../a/b/node, udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink)
the older udev.config file is now called udev.rules.
This allows us to better control configuration values, and move away from
the environment variables.
This patch adds a callout config type to udev, so external programs can be
called to get serial numbers or id's that are not available as a sysfs
attribute.
Here's an "idea" of what I had in mind for udevdb. Let me preface the
code with a few remarks:
1) I was expecting to write this udevdb for udev to keep track of
devices. I was planning an external package that depends upon udev
to provide an external API to the udevdb database. The calls for the
interface would be read only access. Not sure how you want to do
packaging, if having a separate package is ok or having it included
in udev.
2) I created it as it is because udev isn't a daemon. So, the open
database call doesn't take any parameters. My plan was to create a
udevdb_init function that took arguments for initializing the db
to start, where you could specify in memory only or a file location.
This can all be filled in.
3) I hacked the Makefile to get it to work. Not sure how you'd want
that in the future.
4) This assumes TDB has been installed elsewhere, you would need to
edit your Makefile and point it to the header and library locations.
How do you want to do TDB in udev? Do you want to just reference it
and make udev dependent on that package being installed. Or should
we do what samba does and include a limited tdb version in udev?
5) Again, I hacked udev into your existing code. In the future, I'd
probably make a function around the filling out the udevice before
calling the store command. Didn't know if you wanted to change
your add device function to use struct udevice rather than having
everything separate.
6) Not sure what we should include in the udevice structure that's stored
by udev. I made a stab at a first shot - we can add and remove of course,
this was a first pass. I've come to realize - with you including libsysfs
in udev, the "external" interface that references udevdb could make
use of getting information from through libsysfs from sysfs and doesn't
need to be in udevdb.
7) I could write a namedevdb for namedev's device management if you
wanted.
