Bug#192776: xbase-clients: [xconsole] should put an entry in /etc/devfs/devices.d/ to create /dev/xconsole in devfs systems
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: wishlist
During configuring we should put an file /etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients to
create /dev/xconsole pipe in devfs systems.
This file may for example look like this:
xconsole p "" "" root adm 0640
I'm not sure if this isthe correct way to do this, but it works for
me.
But what to do if we first install xbase-clients, and after some time
switch the system to devfs? Maybe create a
/etc/devfs/devices.d/xbase-clients file just in case the system will
be switched to devfs later?
