Subject: fuse-utils must create /dev/fuse (or include an udev rule)

Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 03:13:42 +0200

Package: fuse-utils
Version: 2.4.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

sshfs (and most probably any package using fuse) is unusable because
starting from version 2.4.0 fuse needs access to /dev/fuse, the package
should therefore create the device on install. You should also include
the udev rule (listed in bug #334526) for udev users.

This is the error I get when using sshfs (with a correctly configured
system):

$ sshfs fred@ares:/ /mnt/tmp
fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: No such file or directory
$


Greetings,


Fred

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

udev can create /dev/fuse itself, so this patch does it only if udev is 
not in use.  A device in /dev/.static/dev/ is created anyway, though, 
otherwise fuse would be broken if the user uninstalled udev.

Subject: Using MAKEDEV for creating fuse device?

Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 14:03:04 +0100

Hello,

Rather than creating the fuse device by hand, it would be better to use
MAKEDEV (when Bug#344728 is solved) to do it.

Greetings,


Fred

That wouldn't be better. That's policy demand, and mentioned bug is the
reason I didn't upload new version of fuse yet, cause I would violate
policy doing it.

Hello Bartosz,

Thanks for the explanation, I hadn't noticed that you were the one
submitting the bugreport on makedev. Do you know if the makedev
maintainer is aware that there is an RC bug on fuse-utils due to this
problem?

Greetings,


Fred

I don't know if he's aware of RC bug... I talk with him several times on
IRC and everytime he promised that upload 'will be this evening or this
weekend'. To be honest I'm tired asking him everytime I see him on IRC.

Feel free to do it yourself ;)

I'll post a patch for bug #344728, I can't do an NMU myself as I am not
a DD. Hopefully this will give an hint to the maintainer.

Thanks for your help.

Bdale finally uploaded new makedev. It's in incoming now, so should be
available in archive tomorrow. 

I'll upload new fuse after that.
