When I posted this topic I expected to have at least a bunch of replies. Yesterday I updated a freshly installed Devuan Jessie and I got a warning about the network devices that are going to be changed and that the 70-persistent-network.rules was going to be ignored. IOW: I think vdev is very important for a systemd-free distro like Devuan. Today I gave it a try on an ascii machine, but the README.md that comes with a "git clone" seems to be outdated. And when following the instructions on https://git.devuan.org/unsystemd/vdev I ran into a dependency hell. Unfortunately I'm not a skilled programmer otherwise I would certainly have spent some time to contribute. There is quite some activity here, but when I post a topic about a quite important unsystemd daemon there is almost no reply. That's rather alarming IMHO.... > I'm partial time reading documentation and sources and > considering rolling my own hotplugger, simpler than vdev - Jude has > done an enormous work and vdev is a complex software with hundreds of > scripts, too complex for me. [..] I have no idea if there are alternatives to udev. If you're writing your own hotplugger, wouldn't it be an idea to statically create all possible devices in /dev (MAKEDEV) and to have the hotplugger just add and remove symlinks? I know, I'm a noob, I have no idea what I'm talking about but you never know :) R. -- richard lucassen http://contact.xaq.nl/ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
