Description Gilboa Davara 2012-09-04 01:40:03 UTC

My system log contains more than 50,000 of the following entries:
Sep  2 05:04:30 ... udevd[613]: RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. Please remove it from: /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules:1 and use libudev to subscribe to events.
Sep  2 05:04:30 ... udevd[613]: RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. Please remove it from: /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules:2 and use libudev to subscribe to events.
Sep  2 05:04:30 ... udevd[613]: RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. Please remove it from: /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules:3 and use libudev to subscribe to events.

Sep  2 05:05:45 ... udevd[613]: RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. Please remove it from: /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules:2 and use libudev to subscribe to events.
Sep  2 05:05:45 ... udevd[613]: RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. Please remove it from: /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules:3 and use libudev to subscribe to events.
3 (!) new entries appears every 75 seconds.
Now, assuming that this is an issue with the xend rule file, there's little reason for udev to spam my log files to death.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2012-09-06 10:42:36 UTC

Then fix those /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules.

Comment 2 Gilboa Davara 2012-09-08 13:49:42 UTC

Harald,

My apology if my original comment came off too hard. It was not intended.
Two questions:
1. Do you consider posting 3 exact udev log messages per second a valid behavior? This is not user edit-able file after-all.
2. Shouldn't this (both the original use of deprecated parameter within the xend rule-file and udev spamming the log file) fixed by the maintainer / upstream?

- Gilboa

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 04:11:41 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 12:57:14 UTC

Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
