I frequently keep a fully static /dev on my servers, in which I don=E2=80=99= t need a device manager at all. So yes, I=E2=80=99d like to remove it.

Maybe something like BSD=E2=80=99s ports is more up your = ally? - Shiz= --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
