Description:   Opened: 2003-12-15 14:42 0000 
installed amd64 dual opteron from stage1 and /usr/sbin/rdev was not installed
from package sys-apps/util-linux

Tried reinstalling sys-apps/util-linux but was not included.

make install under kernel-2.6.0-test11-r2 complains about rdev not being
installed

Problem:

sys-utils/Makefile:

ifeq "$(ARCH)" "intel"
MAN8:=$(MAN8) rdev.8 ramsize.8 rootflags.8 vidmode.8
USRSBIN:=$(USRSBIN) rdev
endif

do you actually need/use rdev ?

Ummm... This bug is over a year old. No comment was given as to why it was
reopened.

read comment #3 :P

the question is, does amd64 actually need rdev ?  upstream maintainer considers it 'ancient cruft' that really shouldnt be spread to newer machines when it's not needed
