Thanks Eric for being on the ball. I didn't check for a new version today.

Pushed to testing.
Some important changes:
* Stock rules are not in /lib/udev/rules.d/
* /etc/udev/rules.d is still respected and should be used for non-stock rules
* Custom readme moved to /usr/share/udev. slated for removal later
(man pages are superior)
* Improved stock rules, will eventually need to clean up our Arch rules...
* Possibly others.

Please test and let me know how it goes.

Also, a x86_64 build would be nice.


Changes compared to -1:
- Fixed path: /lib/pkgconfig -> /usr/lib/pkgconfig
- Rewrote load-modules.sh:
+ Fixes http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10972
This adds a new resolve-modalias binary, which resolves an alias
without resolving the dependencies (modprobe can't do that). If you
have a device which can be used by modules A and B, blacklisting A
will no longer result in B being blacklisted with it.
resolve-modalias has gcc-libs as a dependency, but gcc-libs is in
base anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
+ Adds more comprehensive messages to /var/log/everything.log
including a reason why a module hasn't been loaded.
+ If you want to disable a device completely, you can blacklist the
modalias to prevent all matching modules from being loaded.
This should make rc.conf blacklisting way more intuitive.
- Fixed 80-drivers.rules: This was horribly broken, as modprobe was
often called instead of load-modules.sh and thus blacklisting was
completely disabled in -1,
- Add only framebuffer drivers to the framebuffer blacklist, not random
modules containing the string 'fb'

Packages are available for i686 and x86_64 now, please sign off.

Thanks for the rewrite Thomas. Has this sped anything up for you? I
know my udev time on boot is usually between 4s and 6s, so I'll see if
this affects anything when I reboot

3.2 seconds as usual.

However, I now get
Sep 12 18:32:25 artin load-modules.sh: Not loading module '8139cp' for
alias 'pci:v000010ECd00008139sv000017AAsd00002074bc02sc0 0i00' because it
is blacklisted
in my everything.log. In earlier load-modules version, blacklisting
8139cp would have also disabled 8139too, which is necessary for my LAN.
