Description Dax Bunce 2005-07-31 16:19:35 UTC
I originally posted this to the forums to see if I was missing something
obvious, but was advised to post on bugzilla, so here goes:

It appears that /etc/devfsd.conf is missing from sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13.

This means fresh installations using 2.4 Kernel and devfs don't work as dev
doesn't start up.

At present we are unable to upgrade our installation base to use udev, but as
far as I was aware the 2.4 Kernel and devfs are still supported in the 2005.0
profile.

The way it is now:
Code:

# qpkg -I -v baselayout
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13 *
# qpkg -l baselayout | grep devfs

The way it was:

Code:

#qpkg -I -v baselayout
sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6 *
# qpkg -l baselayout | grep devfs
/etc/devfsd.conf


My workaround is to get our installer to copy another /etc/devfsd.conf into
place, but ideally it should be included in baselayout.

Any ideas on why it isn't there?

Cheers
Dax

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. qpkg -I -v baselayout
sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.13 *
2. qpkg -l baselayout | grep devfs

3.

Actual Results:  
No /etc/devfsd.conf

Expected Results:  
Should be a /etc/devfsd.conf

Its easy enough to copy another /etc/devfsd.conf in place, but would be
preferrable if it was included in baselayout.

devfsd.conf is part of the devfsd package
