:-) This cannot be the case. Otherwise somebody would have said. Hmm. |
| 13 |
What we could do with is a "requires xdev", for x in (m u). I've |
| 14 |
forgotten what that's called in portage. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
There are surely lots of packages marked "need udev" which don't really |
| 17 |
need it at all. I mean, are there any programs which need precisely |
| 18 |
udev to work, as opposed to a populated /dev? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I mean, what does udev give me that mdev won't? That's not really a |
| 21 |
rhetorical question. What potential benefits am I throwing away by |
| 22 |
converting to mdev? |
