Yes, as do I, and so do a lot of other developers. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But that is a system configuration issue, not a systemd issue, please |
| 26 |
don't confuse the two. |

Define "past" please. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Note, it's still broken, I have yet to see any upstream fixes to resolve |
| 33 |
all of the issues that are involved here with "fixing" this up. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Yes, as always, for some subset of users, you can be lucky and it will |
| 36 |
work for them, but those systems are getting rarer and rarer these days, |
| 37 |
as the rest of upstream (not systemd here) are moving on and not doing |
| 38 |
anything to change their behavior for this topic. |

Again, this has NOTHING to do with udev or systemd, as has been pointed |
| 44 |
out numerous times. I understand your _wish_ that it would have |
| 45 |
something to do with it, but that will not change the facts, sorry. |

Good luck, the root problems still remain, and nothing that eudev ever |
| 51 |
does can resolve that, sorry. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Can this topic finally be put to rest please? There is a whole web page |
| 54 |
devoted to this topic, why do people blindly ignore it? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Again, a separate /usr without an initrd has NOTHING to do with systemd |
| 57 |
or udev, with the minor exception that Gentoo's packaging of those |
| 58 |
programs _might_ have an issue, but that is Gentoo's issue, NOT |
| 59 |
upstream's issue. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
If anyone involved with eudev, or is involved with the Gentoo Council |
| 62 |
thinks that the previous paragraph is incorrect, they are flat out |
| 63 |
wrong. |
