Keywords: on_ips
=== *Description* ============================================================
For historical reasons, primordial /dev symlinks such as /dev/null are
created by SUNWcsd's postinstall script, rather than packaged. Given that
these symlinks are constant and do not encode any dynamic information such
as major/minor number, this is needless. While the postinstall approach
mostly works, it has two drawbacks:
1. BFU must be updated when a new primordial symlink needs to be
added (such as Clearview IPMP's /dev/ipmpstub) (Note that acr
does not process postinstall scripts, so it doesn't help.)
2. It is fundamentally incompatible with IPS, since IPS doesn't
use postinstall scripts.

=== *Public Comments* ========================================================
A suggested fix for this issue in the IPS distro-import version of the
packages is attached to
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5651
though it will need to be reworked into IPS manifest form once the ON-IPS
project integrates.
