then the rpm in question is buggy.
Quite likely, I am at trying to get the rpm spec
shipped with a
proprietary device driver working.
First of all, RPM has a directive to do this properly (%device iirc),
Thanks, that's news to me. I will try to investigate (I recall there is
a %dev, but I haven't used it, yet).
Second of all, it's quite suspect that you want to package a
device node
in an rpm since most of them are dynamic numbers nowadays... are you
sure your device is registered with LANANA ?
The example above used arbitrarily
chosen numbers. I don't know if the
actual devices-numbers have been registered with LANANA. As this is a
closed source driver, I would not bet.
