I have a third party application that I want to run a CentOS4 box that
is expecting to access the generic SCSI devices through /dev/sga,
/dev/sgb, etc. However, the devices set up by udev are /dev/sg0,
/dev/sg1 etc.


Does anyone know what syntax I could use to create a udev rule that
creates symlinks sga -> sg0 etc. for each sg[0-N] device?


Thanks

just curious, what sort of scsi controller is that? every CentOS 4
system with regular SCSI (or SAS or whatever) that I've seen has created
/dev/sda /dev/sdb, etc... only exceptions I've seen are are things
like Compaq/HP SmartArray controllers that use /dev/cciss/c0d0

Unfortunately, a typo crept into the subject line (which I've now
changed) ...


I'm not talking about the block devices (/dev/sda etc) but the generic
SCSI devices using the sg (sg.ko) module - which have /dev entries of
/dev/sg0, /dev/sg1 etc.

Hi,
I am updating jackbeat, which is orphan, in [extra] and the last
release (0.7.2) needs portaudio from [community]. Still, jackbeat
provides pulseaudio support if it is built with; pulseaudio is in
[community].
This package is orphan, so I think is not a good solution if I update
it and add another orphan package into [extra]. But I can update and
move it to [community] or AUR (pkgstats says 4.47%).
Maybe some TUs is interested.

Opinions?

There is another option... many packages in [extra] have/had requests
opened in the bug-tracker asking for their pulseaudio backend to be
added. Maybe it is time those packages moved to [extra].

If no dev/TU is interested in jackbeat, you should move it to
unsupported, not community.
