  Hi, all. I've just released version 1.3.4 of my devfsd (devfs
daemon) at: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/
This work has been sponsored by SGI.

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

The main changes are:

- added "COPY" action. This is an important development, as it makes
  it easy to mirror permissions between two directory trees. No longer
  do you need the "tar kludge" or to write your own script called by
  devfsd to manage permissions. The "COPY" action does it all for
  you. And due to the regex engine, you can selectively decide what
  devices you want permission persistence for, and which you don't.

                                Regards,

                                        Richard....
