[Rpm-maint] Re: minor number changes

[aneeskA]

I found out a solution for the problem. thought i would share with you all.
the problem was caused due to rpm's inability to count beyond 255. to get
around the problem i inserted MAKEDEV for those devices in the RPMs 'post'
section

*/dev/MAKEDEV -c config_dir/**  -d **target_directory** -a device_name

*where

a configuration file should be prsent in the "*config_dir" *which should
contain the following details

*[b|c]* mode owner group major minor inc count fmt [base]

for more details refer linux man pages
