There's no way to include them in a package -- if we put them in a package and the package gets updated (to include more or something else of that nature), then you've got a dynamic /dev mounted and the update doesn't do what you expect. Plus rpm -V fails. An initrd is _REQUIRED_. er. it doesn't have to be in a package. hell, the device nodes aren't even in a package _now_ ! all the installer has to do is create a few nodes when making /dev on-disk. it does this for a bunch of other things which arent in any package so I dont see why this would be any different really. whats interesting is that rpm claims /dev is owned by udev but rpm -ql says no. |
