But then I need to patch that file when building my rpm.
Now I could just put one file in place and be finished.
Why can't life be simpler.. ;-)


Current incarnation:

KERNEL=="ttyS0", RUN+="/bin/setserial -v %k low_latency hardpps",
SYMLINK+="gps0"

KERNEL=="pps0", OWNER="root", GROUP="tty", MODE="0660",
SYMLINK+="gpspps0", OPTIONS+="last_rule"

(i.e. TWO lines)

But are they OK?
Will they work?

Hmmm..

# udevtest /sys/class/tty/ttyS0
This program is for debugging only, it does not run any program,
specified by a RUN key. It may show incorrect results, because
some values may be different, or not available at a simulation run.

Now only the real test (reboot) needs to be done.
