devfsd-v1.3.13 available

[Richard Gooch]

  Hi, all. I've just released version 1.3.13 of my devfsd (devfs
daemon) at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/

Tarball directly available from:
ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/devfsd/devfsd.tar.gz

AND:
ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/daemons/devfsd/devfsd.tar.gz

This works with devfs-patch-v130, kernel 2.3.46 and devfs-patch-v99.7
(or later).

The main changes are:

- Added support for DELETE event

- Added debug trace to <action_modload>

- Added compatibility entry support for SCSI discs 16 to 127

- Added support for recursively reading config directories

- Documentation updates.

				Regards,

					Richard....

consider this small patch against linux-2.2.19 with devfs-patch-v99.20,
to
allow users of 2.2 kernel the use of devfsd 1.3.13.
