This process of old libmtp rules files will take a looooong time to fade away,
possibly after the next stable release of Debian.
There's quite a load of stuff to check in the Debian package. They originally
came from an Ubuntu patch. The reason is because the libmtp files rule was *not*
placed in the correct folder. It's a bit tricky to understand what is actually
going on, so I will try to make it as simple as possible.
The story goes like this:
- DEFAULT folder for the standard (package-default) libmtp8.rules must be:
/lib/udev/rules.d/
- DEFAULT (package-default) rules file in DEFAULT folder should be prefixed,
we used "45-", so the new rules file is:
/lib/udev/rules.d/45-libmtp8.rules
- USER-MODIFIED libmtp8.rules must be in folder:
/etc/udev/rules.d/
- Any USER-MODIFIED libmtp*.rules that were modified in the past, should go in folder:
/etc/udev/rules.d/
Notes and actions taken:
- /etc/udev/libmtp.rules was/is used in libmtp5 and libmtp6 libmtp6 (<< 0.2.1-2)
- /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp8.rules (the link to /etc/udev/libmtp8.rules) has to be removed.
- Any other symlinks (e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules of older libmtp{5,6} packages) have to be removed.
- /etc/udev/libmtp8.rules (the file) has to go to /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp8.rules
Notes for the future:
- It doesn't make sense to have a versioned libmtp[0-9]+.rules file.
Should be replaced by a non-versioned libmtp.rules file. That file should be in libmtp-common.
libmtp.preinst.in
------------------
During an install or an upgrade libmtp.preinst.in is processed:
- PART A:
* Checks if the installed version is 0.3.7-3 or less
* Removes the current link file: /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp8.rules
* Prepares to move the conffile of currently installed package to the new
folder: /etc/udev/libmtp8.rules
- PART B:
* Does not remove /etc/udev/libmtp.rules file if libmtp5 or libmtp6
(<< 0.2.1-2) is installed.
- PART C:
* Disabled until the package libmtp-common is made
* Remove conffile /lib/udev/rules.d/45-libmtp8.rules
- This is the package-default, do not mix with user-modified
/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libmtp8.rules
- Will be replaced by unversioned /lib/udev/rules.d/45-libmtp.rules
libmtp.postinst.in
------------------
After the above installfest, libmtp.postinst.in is executed:
- PART A: Removes link /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp8.rules if its file-target does not exist
- PART B: Removes link /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules if its file-target does not exist
- PART C:
* Check if package version is 0.3.7-3 or less
* If rules file is in /etc/udev/, move it to correct path /etc/udev/rules.d/ with 45- prefix
