Description Frantz Dhin 2003-03-27 06:02:53 UTC 
Fortunately this is easily solved since there is a make target for dev. So 
add "make dev" to the ebuild and it should be good.

fixed in portage, though I have a suspicion that it should be done with devfsd conf files.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-06-21 11:42:55 UTC 
it doesnt really get created because sandbox prevents it
Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2003-06-30 12:32:19 UTC 
If devfs is running (which should be on almost ALL gentoo installations) then the device will be created automagically if there is a 1394 card to be found and the associated driver insmod/modprobe'd.

doing the mknod in the ebuild is a waste UNLESS you are running a non-devfs system.
Comment 4 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-02 02:39:30 UTC 
devfs will handle this
