First of all, a question: how many i2c device nodes does your MAKEDEV create? The one I have in Slackware 9.1 only creates i2c-0 and i2c-1. This might not be sufficient. Not our fault though. Secondly, MAKEDEV was in /dev on Slackware, so maybe we could test both locations? Then, the good news is that we should be able to drop the reference to prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh, and finally delete it from the lm-sensors package (in branch 3.0.0). I don't plan to move it to i2c-tools. On new systems it's not needed. On old systems, MAKEDEV should do the work. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
