The following reply was made to PR i386/8598; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> To: detlev!joelh@FreeBSD.ORG, FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: Subject: Re: i386/8598: MAKEDEV fails if not run from current directory [patch] Date: Sun, 8 Nov 1998 17:58:01 +1100 >MAKEDEV frequently will call itself recursively using 'sh MAKEDEV'. >This causes the script to fail if it is called from a different >directory than where it resides. If, for instance, a dev directory This is mostly a feature. >The call "MAKEDEV local" causes me concern. I settled for calling >/dev/MAKEDEV.local no matter what directory MAKEDEV was called from. This breaks running of modified MAKEDEV[.local]'s in directories other than /dev. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
