Hi ports people, I'm not exactly sure what happened with debian-ports@ (I think there were some planned changes but I don't remember the outcome), so I'm explicitly sending this to bsd/hurd lists since I suspect the linux ports are less likely to be affected by this.
We have a bug report with a patch by Marco against debootstrap (see attachment), which changes how devices are generated; I can't really tell how much this might affect all of you (especially with debootstrap being arch:all, and not intended to only be used from a Debian system), so I thought I'd send a heads-up first. You may want to look at other mails (esp. from Marco) in the bug log for more background: https://bugs.debian.org/571136 Please keep the bug report and Marco in copy of your replies. Mraw, KiBi.

Here it is. If somebody will report valid uses for devices.tar.gz then the old code can be enabled again easily. -- ciao, Marcodiff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 8a938a3..59cf216 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +debootstrap (1.0.75+nmu1) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Stop creating useless device nodes.
