> * pbuilder does not seem to bother this. Right, these devices are usually not needed for compiling software. However, the instructions in the Debian Reference are not about pbuilder chroots, which are usually built using "pbuilder create".
I was talking about chroots used for manually building packages including testing i.e. running them. And then you will most probably need some more devices (as described in the previous messages), especially if you plan to install an X server. > * There is no MAKEDEV in new sid chroot under /dev I just used sid debootstrap to create a sid chroot and it contained /dev/MAKEDEV. > I think someone should tell me that under what cercumstance, which > particular /dev/? is needed. Do you plan to maintain a list and to add an instructions for each needed device? The generic target might create some devices seldomly needed, but I guess many people prefer some unneeded devices instead of tracking down missing-device problems (which sometimes as in the case of /dev/ptmx are difficult to find out). Experts still can create their devices manually ... Anyway, proceed as you like. Regards, Joachim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
