Hi,
intel-rng-tools requires /dev/intel_rng, which is not installed by makedev.
I believe its not a good idea to use mknod in the postinst scripts.
How would I go about doing this then ?
Currently, its just an instruction in README.Debian.
Thanks,
viral

Hi,
I have a package, gstar, which places various lists of stars in
/usr/share/starchart since gstar is a gtk front-end to the starchart
programme.
My question is: is there any policy or guidelines about naming stuff in
in /usr/share?
Should the dir be named /usr/share/gstar as that is the name

Ah indeed. Then you're right of course. Sorry.

hmmm, I just had the upstream remove the debian specific stuff so I
could have policy compilant stuff and use the debhelper stuff more.
