oops sorry: when i refered to dev package, in fact, i meant that dev
*and* MAKEDEV packages can be smoothly updated since 3.3.1-1mdk.
you need the previous hacks in order to update dev and MAKEDEV
packages.
also note than i plan to drop MAKEDEV package just after the mdk9.0
release if nobody complains since:
- it's a very ugly slow program nicely replaced by mdk_makedev
- dev now requires MAKEDEV, so just merge them in dev and provides
MAKDEV
- i know no apps which needs to run MAKEDEV to create specific
devices since:
o all needed devices should be there
o most people'll use devfs anyway
