Hi,

I've released PTXdist 2012.03.0. Mostly bugfixes, but be careful when
updating: The udev package was rewritten. The previous 'experimental'
version is now the old version and udev 181 is now the default.
The new udev version requires a mounted devtmpfs. If that's not
possible for you then select the old udev version.
This also mean, that old toolchains (such as OSELAS.Toolchain 1.99.x) are
no longer supported.
Thanks to all contributers. As always the shortlog below.

Enjoy,
Michael Olbrich

And for all people that have a custom fstab in their project: The new
udev requires /run to exist and to be writable. Otherwise it exits with
an error that it cannot bind a control socket. (If you have the default
generic fstab, everything is fine.)

And if someone needs the old behaviour just add a

# Where to place the runtime data (default is "/run/udev")
udev_run="/dev/.udev"

to the udev.conf

To be more specific: devtmpfs is part of the kernel since 2.6.32 (to my
knowledge) and can be enabled in your kernel config by:

CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y

(This was not the case for our kernel, took me a little time to find
out.)
