Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The documentation at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/udev/ is very out of date, the last time it appears to have been updated is fedora core 3. The documentation gives miss-leading information for later versions of udev, specifcly the details on hotplug and the permissions rules referecning /etc/udev/permissions.d Current versions of udev do not use hotplug and the permissions should be set in the rules files, not the permissions files set in /etc/udev/permissions.d This gives very miss-leading information and conflicts with the udev documentation. I'd be very happy to re-write this page, or for someone else to do it but I'd like to see this page updated.
You guessed it correctly, in that the page has lingered because none of the available resources has been interested in fixing it. Also, the content might do better split into the User Guide[1] and the Administration Guide[2], rather than be stand-alone. You are highly encouraged to pitch in and help update this content: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join All you really need is a Fedora account and wiki access, as many writers do drafting on the wiki instead. However, if you are familiar with or want to learn DocBook XML, the current content is in that source. Ultimately, all content is converted to XML for publication and long-term maintenance. If you bring the idea to fix this content to fedora-docs-list and just start working on it in either CVS or the wiki, you'll find willing collaborators. Until we know what the resolution is for this content, we can leave this bug open as NEEDINFO. Thanks for your interest and care about this.

I think this guide may have been abandoned. If we have picked up the slack with the User Guides that are now available for F9, F10, and F11 can we close this bug WONTFIX as the guide is EOL? Is there information in this guide that can be pulled out and put into the user guide?
Changed from desktop-user-guide to user-guide to help reduce confusion.
This was a bug filed on a now outdated and abandoned document. It is not applicable to the User Guide as it is too technical for that guide. There is not any work that I know of on a Admin guide at the moment, but the info might work in the technical appendix of the Install Guide. It is a good suggestion to not just drop it. Changing to Install Guide as a suggestion for future release.
Removing myself for these bug components as I'm either no longer involved in that aspect of the project, or no longer care to watch this particular bug. Sorry if you are caught in a maelstrom of bug changes as a result!
I don't feel that technical information about a device manager would be suitable for an appendix in the Installation Guide. It may work in the Deployment Guide or the System Admin Guide, but given how much time has passed since the bug was both reported and last commented on, I'm going to close it. However, if anyone believes it should be re-opened and assigned to one of those guides, please do so.
