patches to ybin




As part of the transition to udev, Debian is changing to using LABEL= and UUID= instead of /dev/<device> in fstab and anywhere else absolute device names are used. This is because udev causes device names of the form /dev/<device> to be non-deterministic (dependent on the order that devices power up at boot-time).

Unfortunately, there are lots of places that still expect absolute device names. Ybin is one of them.

I've got a patch that fixes this (at least it fixes it in my test environment -- G4 PowerMac running Debian Squeeze).

the details are in Debian bug report #580455
	http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580455

Is there some way to get this patch (or something even better) accepted? What can I do to help?


Thanks!

Rick
