Bug 27055 – portage 2.0.49_pre18 problems without devfsd

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description alexander j pierce 2003-08-21 07:46:37 UTC]

below is a sample emerge.  i do not run devfsd, and ebuild.sh now seems to
expect a /dev/stdout and a /dev/stderr.  it still works as far as i can tell,
just pops this error out.  could scare users.



/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 104: /dev/stdout: No such file or directory
libtool
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 104: /dev/stdout: No such file or directory

still a problem ?

[Comment 5 alexander j pierce 2003-09-26 07:21:39 UTC]

Yes, still a problem.  Now running 2.6.0-test5-mm4 kernel w/ devfs, and no
devfsd.

here is the tail end from emerging postfix-2.0.16-r1 this morning.

I'm pretty sure this is fixed as part of the use/useq/usev issue.
