Heeey, you didn't read the bug, did you? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
It is an enhancement to the current tarball approach. Instead of tarring |
| 47 |
everything that's left in /dev on a shutdown, it only tars what is not taken |
| 48 |
care of by udev. As an example I listed my tarball -- there isn't a single |
| 49 |
device in there that udev knows about. It is possible to easily ignore files |
| 50 |
that you don't want. I guess I forgot to add MAKEDEV in the ignore list |
| 51 |
together with stdout, stdin, stderr, core, initctl.... |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Just read the bug if you want more information. Plus I'd very much like to see |
| 54 |
some action on it. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
About the devices... |
| 57 |
- MAKEDEV: just happened to be there, I didn't explicitely request it |
| 58 |
- mga_vid: for the mplayer mga_vid driver |
| 59 |
- vmware: I am pretty sure it doesn't "just work", or there wouldn't be bugs |
| 60 |
like #54269. Anyway, I'll try the newer ebuild, because the changelog talks |
| 61 |
about "newest any-any"; |
| 62 |
- sndstat: see MAKEDEV |
| 63 |
- dri: if udev knew about it, it wouldn't get added to the tarball; i.e. when |
| 64 |
they fix it, it will disappear. |
