[Buildroot] makedev questions

[William Wagner]

Hello,

Just trying to get everything working again following recent changes in 
git. After the makedev change I have a couple of questions.

Should the default value for BR2_PACKAGE_MAKEDEVS not be y? Without it 
you get a rootfs without any device nodes. Or am I missing something?

Also am I right to think that TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE has been removed? 
There still appears to be a reference to it at 
package\busybox\initramfs.mk(106): echo "$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/makedevs -d 
$(TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE) $(BUILD_DIR)/initramfs"; \

No, BR2_PACKAGE_MAKEDEVS is for compiling makedevs to run on the target
(unlikely to be interesting).

Don't you have build/host-makedevs built? It seems to work here.

Yes, it was removed in 64ec20e6c0 - Replaced by BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE.

That file isn't used anywhere - I've removed it now.

Yes I do, just wasn't sure where I should be looking. Thanks

And you still don't get any device nodes in your filesystem? What fs
type are you using?

Initramfs, but I have been having a few issues elsewhere, including 
problems rebasing. I think I have fixed them all now and have a clean 
build going, so hopefully will be all fixed.
