No, it's not.
Based on what? It has several commits this year and is currently
working on both of my systems. Is there something specific showing
why its not maintained?
.
On the link above it says this:
On 2021-08-20 Gentoo decided to abandon eudev and a new project was
established on 2021-09-14 by Alpine, Devuan and Gentoo contributors
(alphabetical order).
It seems to have a upstream that is active but no one is
maintaining it on Gentoo. Basically, it needs a Gentoo maintainer
now. It would seem given the time span that no one wants to take
it.
Like others, I use it but didn't know it wasn't maintained anymore.
I hope someone will step up but if not, looks like we have to use
udev.
No, see the linked bugs. Someone has to actually make it compatible
with the tags API which software is starting to use.
I think its only a matter of time.
https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev/pull/253
I'll apply the patch and test the builds if it helps, but I don't know
about testing the runtime functionality of libgudev.
Someone has to then bother reviewing it, merging it, releasing it,
and
ideally updating eudev for other stuff like this.
Of course. Just like any other PR to any other project :) What's your point?
I don't know what you mean. My point is none of that has been happening.
I see, ok. I would agree with you, however, the author of that PR is a
member of eudev org, so I wouldn't say it's dead just yet.
Also note that the PR is a hack rather than a full implementation
of the functionality anyway, which may lead to runtime misbehaviour.
And that's fine for programs which don't make use of the new API.
and? Someone has to actually check that?
