Package: wnpp Severity: normal Historically, makedev is how static entries in /dev were created... but most modern systems now use dynamic device discovery approaches such as that provided by udev. The MAKEDEV script still has some utility for developers of embedded systems and other special cases.
I recently transitioned makedev from 'required' to 'extra' in Debian, and as I am no longer using it, I would prefer to no longer maintain it. Bdale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
