[Replicator-users] Devfs fix in repli-bootdisk

[W. <jwa...@be...>]

I just realized my contributed patch to repli-bootdisk isn't yet
applied.

To remember what it was all about:
when the machine on which you create the bootdisk uses devfs, there is
no way to create that damn bootdisk because repli-bootdisk tries to cp
some /dev/* files, which are not there or at least are not "copy-able".
See starting from line 429 to some lines further.

My submitted patch was the only way to achieve this cleanly: untar some
of the /usr/lib/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz. It doesn't add any new
dependency as debootstrap is already used and tar is essential.
I don't see why it is still not applied, after so many months.

One more thing: devfs is going to be *the only way* to go with kernel
2.5/2.6.
Thanks to commit my patch (I'll try to find it back or do it again if
necessary).

BTW: would it be possible to have CVS access?
And to be an official Replicator developper on SourceForge?
