But: - i'm lazy - lack of USB uniqueness gives lots of people problems, especially linux noobs who've never heard of udev - lack of USB uniqueness can be solved, at least partially, by using the unique identifiers that are provided by default in /dev/serial/by-id and /dev/serial/by-path (at least default in the 2 distros I use, which let's face it are the only ones that really matter) - a longer field length can give people who _don't_ know how/want to deal with udev, symbolic links, etc an easy way to copy/paste a unique device special file name into xastir, so they don't have to fight with "which one is the TNC and which one is the GPS?? @#$^%@#^ linux!!!!" -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
