Vladimir, the problem is that I do not use mdev. I need someone else to test the changes - or apply them "blindly", with only code examination and compile test. Are there active mdev users who can verify that it works, and doesn't totally break mdev? You can alleviate these concerns if you can create testsiute entries for mdev. Then anyone (e.g. me) can run quick test... > Next, the meaning of > in rename clause is changed to "move devnode to the > specified location".

How can I know whether it breaks existing usage? -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
