Gentoo started eudev in part because extracting udev from the larger systemd project became too cumbersome. Each time there was a update the process changed enough to break attempts at automation, apparently.

the Linux From Scratch team adopted eudev for their non-systemd edition ("classic") for a similar reason.

Yeah, I know. Due to inertia, I'm still using sys-fs/udev and will probably continue to do so until Sievers makes good on his implied threat.

i seem to recall that some interfaces had been moved from udev to libsystemd, or something, recently.

Then, perhaps the time for migration to eudev is nigh! :D

I haven't followed the udev saga in a very long time. I do know that I have =sys-fs/udev-224-r2 installed and I don't have systemd installed. I also don't have any executable files on my system named "systemd".

Your comment was still content-free.

Your comment was a simple personal attack, and added nothing to the discussion. People can disagree with you without being stupid, you know, and not admitting that makes the anti-systemd side weak.

For whatever it's worth, he was clearly not posting substantively. Perhaps a reminder would be in order?
