Right. I didn't mean that as a question of 'where should we be Now', but 'where do we want to be later'... it's probably a foregone conclusion (with gregkh steering things) that udev is on its way, but perhaps that leaves a question mark of where how we will support devfs when that happens. That said, I don't know how many hacks exist in the package tree to add udev support. Supporting both might be trivial, therefore my assumptions might be wrong. Maybe gregkh can comment on this in detail. Cheers, Dylan Carlson [absinthe@gentoo.org] Public Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x708E165F -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
