Subject: [gentoo-doc] Update dcumentation for separate /usr

1 Hi guys,
2
3 The udev package (version 181 and higher) will not support separate /usr
4 partitions without using an initramfs. Because of this, we will need to
5 update our documents to inform the users about this:
6 - inform them that using a separate /usr requires an initramfs
7 - tell them how to build their own initramfs
8
9 I've opened a tracker bug [1] so that we can track issues related with it,
10 as well as major changes that still need to be done (if any). It also allows
11 the udev maintainers to block on this bug before stabilizing.

13 Wkr,
