hi
why you copy the rules and permission file to udev.rules
and udev.permissions?
as it is in the package itself numbered with 50-...
it would make it easier to modify udev
the lists were scanned literary so if it is 50
you can add your own rules to a file 10-udev rules for example and all udev updates wouldn't touch this file
just an idea but this would make udev easier to configure

you only add your changes to the 10-... file and your setup is stored

perhaps it would help that this is mentioned while installing it

i'll upgrade the wiki soon
This task depends upon

But you can still do all that with the "udev.rules" style naming.

Just make a /etc/udev/rules.d/00-myrules or something. Since udev parses files in lexicographical order, your custom rules will supersede the default Arch ones.

ok just wanted to know if it stays this way
it was just a thougt ;-)
