When I emerged xine* and tried to play a DVD i got an error due to a missing dvd link in /dev. I did a ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd and it worked after that. It's not a big problem, but for unexperienced users it's better if the ebuild does the whole thing. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
nor should it. please check /etc/devfsd.conf on how to make a persistent link.
