after The Systemding: 182 was udev, 184 was systemd, and I don't see a
tag for 183. Huh, must be like a 13th floor.
The eudev README even calls it a fork of systemd.
eudev continues to pull in relevant udev changes from the systemd tree
(without the init-specific filth, obviously) and even provides some
fixes of its own. It is like a window into some magical world where
udev development continues under the old banner. Well, a similar
banner that is one character wider, at least.
Gentoo (or rather, Gentoo users) started eudev so that OpenRC could
continue using udevd (although it does work just fine with any init
system), so Gentoo is probably the most official place to go for it.
The github site is listed as eudev's homepage, but there is also:
https://wwwold.gentoo.org/proj/en/eudev/
which I had thought contained some links to history/reasoning, and a
source repository:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~blueness/eudev/
3.0? Wow, I'm really behind.
The only difference I've really noticed with the last version of udev
before being cannibalized and eudev is that eudev doesn't build
against some old (pre-3.0) kernel headers. That's really only an
issue for crufty embedded targets, not desktops, tho'.

PS: Bonus round!
Version 183 was apparently the merge point of systemd and udev, at
which point systemd took udev's versioning scheme but not its
credibility.
-at which point systemd took udev's versioning scheme but NOT...
ITS... FREEDOOOOOOM!
-at which point systemd took udev's versioning scheme, like a married
name. No hyphenated versions here! I only mention this because I have
it on good authority (read: internet rubbish) that we are all terribly
anti-women.
Hello Jerry,
Thanks for the information about eudev and the historical wrap up on udev.
As it is quite impossible for me to extract udev related codes from
systemd source, I am trying to use eudev as it seems easier to compile
it. However, I am having difficulties to install eudev packages.
I didn't try to remove the current udev and libudev1 as it will remove
important packages.

I would really appreciate your feedback and guideline on this. Below are
the steps I have done so far.
Cheers,
