[oe] About having a static /dev

[Antonio Ospite]

Hi,

For my machine (a780) I'd like to have a static /dev whatever image I
build, I tried setting:
IMAGE_DEV_MANAGER = ""
IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES = "files/device_table-minimal.txt \
                       files/device_table-ezx.txt"

But this is still not enough:
 1. the 'devices' script from initscripts keeps rewriting /dev at each
    boot, and with a layout different than one would expect by having
    IMAGE_DEVICE_TABLES set, see also
    http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3593

 2. If I install any package which depends on udev then udev is brought
    in and the static layout is gone at the next boot.

Any suggestion about how to get to a clean solution which can be reused
by others? I can fix 1. somehow, but for 2. I still don't have any idea.

Thanks,
   Antonio
