It's udevinfo now, what will it be in two years? Come on, kernel does not need that info at all. In fact, cdrecord doesn't need it either. Some frontends, maybe, though hal may be better source if running. In fact udev isn't mandatory either. We have it because it's handy, it saves us from megatons of /dev files and keeps /dev/black-dvd in sync with black dvd. Personally I think the whole "cdrecord -scanbus" is bogus - command line utils should do what they are asked to do (e.g., write to /dev/hda1 or /dev/microcode if so requested). -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
