The copy/paste devil catched me :)
Here is a fixed one.
We carried the the old callout part selector syntax for two releases
now after it was replaced by the new %c{1} syntax. So here we remove
the old syntax and use the code to possibly specify the maximum count
of chars to insert into the string. It will work with all of our format
chars.
I don't know if somebody will use it, but the code is already there :)
's%3s{vendor}' returns "IBM" now, instead of "IBM-ESXS".
Also added is a test for it and a few words in the man page.
Here is for now my last patch to the string handling for a rather
theorethical case, where the node is very very very long. :)
We have accordant to strfieldcat(to, from) now a strintcat(to, i) macro,
which appends the ascii representation of a integer to a string in a
safe way.

Seems that nobody cares and perhaps the recent klibc permission changes
and the multiple file config directory are enough to kill these lines? :)
Here we remove the useless leading "./" of the linktargets.
Thanks to Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>, who asked why we do this :)
We have now:
/udev
|-- camera0 -> video0
|-- kamera0 -> video0
`-- video0
Mainly a cleanup of the earlier patches with a few missing pieces
and some cosmetical changes.
I've moved the udev_init_config() to very early init, otherwise we
don't get any logging for the processing of the input. What would I
do without gdb :)
Greg, it's the 7th patch in your box to apply. I will stop now and
wait for you :)
Here we truncate our input strings from the environment to our
defined limit. It's a bit theroretical but better check for it.
It cleans up some magic length definitions and removes the code
duplication in udev, udevtest and udevsend.
udevd needs to be killed after installation, cause the message size
is changed with this patch.
Should we do this with the 'make install', like we do with the '.udevdb'?
As promised, here is the next round. We provide in addition to the
already used macros:
strfieldcpy(to, from)
strfieldcat(to, from)
the corresponding friends, if the size of the target is not known and
must be provided by the caller:
strnfieldcpy(to, from, maxsize)
strnfieldcat(to, from, maxsize)
and switch nearly all possibly unsafe users of strcat(), strncat(),
strcpy() and strncpy() to these safer macros.
The last known remaining issue seems the use of sprintf() and
snprintf(). I will take on it later today or tomorrow.
Hey it's not longer the "goal" to provide a dynamic dev directory,
we have just arrived. So I change it to more self-confident words :)
I've also added the completly missing environment variables to the
man pages.
To stop the misuse of the PROGRAM= call paramenters, we better mention
its limitations.

Hmm, bk didn't checked in one file, maybe I edited it again as root.
Nevermind, here is the more complete version.
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 we get a very dumb getpwnam() and getgrnam() for klibc to
stop the confusion of not handling textual id's if klibc is used.
If used with initrd we just need to copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/group
file and all should work well.
I dualboot between 2.4.x and 2.6.x right now, and although I
want udev to start up when 2.6 is booting, I don't want it to try when
2.4.x is booting.
This is a small patch to not start up udev if sysfs is not
mounted.
