Hi all,
Ok, rehashing this, but please don't turn it into another udev vs
systemd thread.
I have an older server that I have been putting off this update,
debating on whether to update to the regular udev, or to eudev.
I've googled until my fingers are blue, but cannot for the life of me
find any explicit instructions for *how* to switch from udev to eudev.
The eudev project page is sparse, to say the least.
Anyone?
First of all, eudev only has IUSE="rule-generator" that is backported
from udev-171.
It's otherwise same in users point of view with sys-fs/udev, except
sys-fs/eudev is constantly out of date and the code forwarding from
upstream is not very reliable process.
Futhermore sys-fs/udev is not 'old' but it's the new one and will be
the default for OpenRC for long as OpenRC is in Portage.
I don't want to bash anything or anybody but sys-fs/eudev as-is in the
Portage is currently useless and a bit buggy.
That's odd. I been using eudev since like the second version that came
out and have had zero issues with it. Ask anyone here, if it had a
problem, I'd be found it by now. lol
Then you haven't been following. It's multiple issues per week, if not
even day.
And like said, you don't gain anything by using sys-fs/eudev. The
package is useless.
