Description plasmagunman 2004-01-01 09:57:02 UTC
merging development-sources-2.6.0 says:

 * Please note that ptyfs support has been removed from devfs
 * and you have to compile it in now, or else you will get
 * errors when trying to open a pty. The option is:
 * File systems -> Pseudo filesystems -> /dev/pts filesystem.

but it should also mention to include "Unix98 PTY support", so it says:

 * Please note that ptyfs support has been removed from devfs
 * and you have to compile it in now, or else you will get
 * errors when trying to open a pty. The options are:
 * Device Drivers -> Character devices -> Unix98 PTY support and
 * File systems -> Pseudo filesystems -> /dev/pts filesystem.

"Unix98 PTY support" wasn't necessary with the old kernel and mentioning this in  the ebuild would make things easier for some people.
