Well, I did the udev upgrade, and the following rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules still work:
KERNEL=="sr0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
KERNEL=="sr0", SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
KERNEL=="sr0", SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
KERNEL=="sr0", SYMLINK+="dvdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
I don't really think it's that the symlinks are spread out over four lines, but
you can try it anyway. The ENV{GENERATED} bit is left over from the
auto-generated rule; I have my doubts regarding its necessity.
[ Luckily for me, I had no problems upgrading udev, save for a change in
the naming scheme of the files in /dev/input/by-id/, which screwed up my
pulseaudio settings (I use the volume keys on my keyboard), which took all of
1
minute to fix after I noticed pulseaudio wasn't starting. ]
