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?
Something like
olympus ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.mask
=sys-fs/udev-180
...
olympus ~ #
olympus ~ # grep udev /etc/portage/package.keywords
sys-fs/eudev ~amd64
=virtual/udev-206 ~amd64
olympus ~ #
unmerge everything udev && emerge eudev
its been much less fuss and bother than trying to stick with the udev
machinations - I have maybe 15 machines and vm's running eudev, no udev
... :)
nope, you just believed all the FUD there has been out there. i've said
it many times, and i'll say it again:
the only real different is USE="rule-generator" and that's it
and sys-fs/eudev is constantly out of date and haven't developed any
features of their own
so why follow with unreliable fork, when there is the official package
available with equal features?
