Bugzilla Bug 137434

I am trying to use static-dev in an embedded environment.  It is being built in
a chroot'd environment into a different root ($ROOT is set).  Neither the
chroot environment nor the target root have either udev nor devfs installed.  

The offending line (16) is:

 if [[ -d /dev/.udev/ || ! -c /dev/.devfs ]]; then

in pkg_setup.  It seems to be saying that if /dev/.udev is a directory, or
/dev/.devfs is not a character device then run the code that complains of udev
or devfs being installed.  On my system neither /dev/.udev nor /dev/.devfs
exist, therefore the logic is coming out true because /dev/.devfs is not a
character device.

Also, it seems like it should be looking in ${ROOT}/dev/ instead of just /dev/.

Confirmed.
Removing the ! before -c seems to fix the bug, but I don't know what the .devfs
file should be when using devfs.

Note: I checked on a debian box, and /dev/.devfs does not exist, but
/dev/.devfsd do and is a character device.

Created an attachment (id=104154) [edit]
suggested patch for that single character too much :)

Main bug confirmed on my system.

But my eBuild of static-dev-0.1 has the {$ROOT} in there.

thanks, fixed in the tree
