Hmm, we could have a nice long discussion here about whether the unpatched behaviour is actually broken or whether it just needs some more explaining to the user community, but it's clear that changing the behaviour will ease migration towards sarge. More importantly: do we want the MAKEDEV behaviour or the proposed patch? For the long term, I would prefer the patch since it is more precise in what devices are generated. However, if an unconditional MAKEDEV speeds up sarge, I'd say go for it. Regards, Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
