Hello, dear developers! libggi-target-fbdev.postinst checks /dev for framebuffer entries. If none are found, it offers to create them. Now i've received the following:
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: libggi-target-fbdev Version: 1:1.99.2.0b3.1-1 Severity: wishlist When I upgraded the ggi-fbdev target today, it informed me that I didn't have framebuffer devices and offered to create them. In fact, I don't have framebuffer devices because I'm using a devfs-enabled kernel and don't have framebuffers enabled at the moment, so creating them is useless (and actually impossible, I /think/). I think that this question should be skipped if /dev/.devfsd exists, or at least should be changed to be simply a message. Well, part one is clear - don't install target-fbdev. But what do you think about two: this question should be skipped if /dev/.devfsd exists. I was already wondering about a recent discussion, where the _running_ kernel at the time of installation were to be checked to determine anything. On my systems, various kernels are installed and personally i wouldn't want a half smart package to add or leave sth. because of the version of the kernel that appens to be running at install time. I wouldn't want libggi-target-fbdev to skip the correct installation of appropriate devices for use eg. by older, non-devfs kernels. What do you think? Thanks for your answers in advance, martin
