I find the persisten-net-generator.rules particularly annoying |
| 31 |
(for various reasons including, but not limited to system images |
| 32 |
and system cloning). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
So I have an empty file of that name and happily nuke whatever |
| 35 |
comes along with udev updates. I could of course unmask that |
| 36 |
file if it were to be masked in the future. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Still, this reeks of layers upon layers of customization to me. |
| 39 |
I'd prefer a more elegant solution - although know of none. The |
| 40 |
classic approach would be a USE flag to toggle installation of |
| 41 |
the shipped udev files - which wouldn't work for me, as I only |
| 42 |
have gripes about *one* of them. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
There probably simply isn't a simple, elegant solution that is a) |
| 45 |
not wrong and b) works for just about everybody. |
