Summary

0001329: Patch for "util-linux/mdev.c": make it able to create symlinks and subdirectories

Description

This patch adds to mdev.c the ability to create symlinks and subdirectories:
examples:
stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2

pcmC[0-9]D[0-9]c 0:0 0666 >> /dev/snd/ 0755

modified files:
util-linux/mdev.c
util-linux/Config.in
docs/mdev.txt

The patch corrects also the bug 0001299

I wish that this patch be deeply tested before a possible integration

Notes
(0002336) vapier 05-02-07 10:57	you removed support for program execution which is not desirable i'll post a diff patch to the busybox mailing list we've been using in Blackfin/uClinux-dist

(0002340) Souf 05-03-07 11:44	New patch for mdev.c which restores support for program execution

(0002811) richard 10-03-07 09:35	This update to the patch (against busybox_1_7_stable) allows simple substitution for the device name, to allow mdev to create for example /dev/mtdblock/0 from mtdblock0. The rule used is: mtdblock([0-9]) 0:0 0600 >> /dev/mtdblock/ 0755 I have found that a useful addition to this patch.

(0006224) vda 03-29-08 09:15	mdev in svn (after rev 21557) seems to do all of this except "pure" creation of symlinks ("stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2" syntax). That last thing can be done with ln. The rest seems to be implemented now.
