[PATCH] Rename /dev/pktcdvd to avoid userspace conflict

[PATCH] Rename /dev/pktcdvd to avoid userspace conflict

Hi,

By default, udev creates the control node for pktcdvd at /dev/pktcdvd, whereas 
with devfs it gets created at /dev/pktcdvd/control.

Also, the userspace tool looks for the control node at /dev/pktcdvd/control, 
and isn't too happy when /dev/pktcdvd is there but not a directory.

This patch updates the rules file to take account of this. I only updated the 
Gentoo rules, should others be updated too?

Daniel

FWIW, the debian udev package uses structured names for the pktcdvd
devices in both the devfs-like and traditional naming schemes.
