Re: [Bug-gnupod] SysInfo.pm uses udevinfo, giving deprecation warning

[H. Langos]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the information. Do you know if changing from "udevinfo" to
"udevadm info" will be completely compatible? I.e. is "udevadm info" already
available when "udevinfo" is ? 

Otherwise I'd have to add a check for old systems and that path in the code
would grow obsolete after a while... 

cheers
