Without that patch, what kernels does coreutils support then? Since udev breaks with pretty much everything below 2.6.24, I don't think it's useful to patch packages to support anything below 2.6.24.
It breaks support for kernels below 2.6.22. As our glibc supports 2.6.18 and above and people can have a static dev, so I thought this was a good patch to include. Anyway, it is an upstream patch, so the next release will make this moot...
Hmmmm, http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=initscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=76bb11cb8b53...
I think this hasn't worked for years anyway.
Uh... so we can not have a static dev fs? Wasn't that the whole argument against bumping the kernel version required for glibc too high? Or has the situation changed enough with the new udev to revisit that issue? Allan
