The eudev project launches
Eudev is the Gentoo-based fork of udev which was covered here in November. The project has now
officially announced its existence. "udev often
breaks compatibility with older systems by depending upon recent Linux
kernel releases, even when such dependencies are avoidable. This became
worse after udev became part of systemd, which has jeopardized our
ability to support existing installations. The systemd developers are
uninterested in providing full support in udev to systemd alternatives.
These are problems for us and we have decided to fork udev to address
them."
