package: remove useless arguments from GENTARGETS

2011-09-29T21:09:58+00:00

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the GENTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to repeat its name and the directory in which it is present. [Peter: pkgdir->pkgparentdir] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Allow several device tables and split in two parts our device table

2011-05-09T14:52:22+00:00

This allows to have a device table for all directories/files and another device table for the device files themselves. Both are needed for static /dev, but only the first one is needed when devtmpfs/mdev/udev are used. We take this opportunity to move the documentation of the device table format in a common location, package/makedevs/README.

makedevs: don't call /bin/sync after creating nodes

2011-03-12T21:27:06+00:00

Closes #3475 There's no real reason to sync after creating the device nodes, and it slows down the file system image creating quite a lot on busy systems, so get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

makedevs: convert to GENTARGETS format

makedevs: fix cases where (start != 0)

2011-02-23T22:37:36+00:00

The makedevs script did not always generate the requested set of device names / minor number series. * If start != 0, then requesting (count) devices would generate only (count - start) * If start != 0 && increment != 1, then requesting minors starting with (minor) would generate minors starting with (minor + (start * (increment - 1))) This patch fixes the code and updates the usage text with extra examples.
