The plan is to include it, the udev file system is not something that can be ported, it is to dependent on the kernel. > Looking at devd.conf and its usage I have to say that I really like > it; in contrast to udev (or whatever the current hotplug system on > GNU/Linux is) it is easy to understand and thus I assume also easy to > debug.

Ideally this should be integrated to the freebsd-utils source package (possibly producing new binary packages), but this is probably a detail, the most important job being to port it to glibc. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
