Thanks, Greg, for the dedication.
I'll do some testing of this from a "truly dumb user" perspective.

I've just packaged up the latest Linux hotplug scripts into a release,
which can be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17679
Or from your favorite kernel.org mirror at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_03_29.tar.gz
or for those who like bz2 packages:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_03_29.tar.bz2
I've also packaged up some pre-built (and signed) Red Hat FC 2-test based rpms:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_03_29-1.noarch.rpm
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-base-2004_03_29-1.noarch.rpm
The source rpm is available if you want to rebuild it for other distros
or versions of Red Hat at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/hotplug-2004_03_29-1.src.rpm
The main web site for the linux-hotplug project can be found at:
http://linux-hotplug.sf.net/
which contains lots of documentation on the whole linux-hotplug
process.
This release is recommended for _anyone_ using older versions of the
hotplug scripts (especially the last development snapshot) as lots of
bugs have been fixed. Especially for any scsi or usb-storage users, now
the proper drivers should be automatically loaded when a device is
plugged in.
The release is still backwards compatible with 2.4, so there is no need
to worry about upgrading.
The full ChangeLog extract since the last release is included below for
those who want to know everything that's been changed, and who to blame
for them :)
Many thanks to everyone who has send in patches for this release,
without these submissions, this release would still contain lots of
issues...
thanks,
greg k-h
