1 Hi,
2
3 line 16 ("renamed the file to
4 /lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules") and line 18 ("you can
5 override in /etc/systemd/network/") doesn't end with punctuation.

8 Did I get this right? I am using udev to give my interfaces custom names
9 and I am not a systemd user but to keep my setup working with udev-210 I
10 have to exclude
11
12 /lib/systemd/network/
13 /etc/systemd/
14
15 from my INSTALL_MASK *and* I have to configure things in
16 "/etc/systemd/"? Really?
17
18 Also, I cannot belief that I cannot overwrite
19 "/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules" via "/etc/udev/rules.d"...

22 Anyway:
23 Don't get me wrong. Yes, I don't use systemd and I am a happy OpenRC
24 user but I have no problems with systemd (as long as it doesn't affects
25 me). But this upgrade seems to affect non-systemd users.
26
27 Wasn't Gentoo about choices?
28
29 So when it is possible to provide a sys-fs/udev package like Lars
30 (Polynomial-C) has shown which won't require non-systemd user to use
31 files from systemd and to do configuration in "/etc/systemd/" why don't
32 we provide such a package to non-systemd users?
33 The package already has an "openrc" USE flag...
34
35 Remember that the non-systemd folk in Gentoo is doing a lot to help you
36 (the systemd folk) to add proper systemd support in Gentoo. Now it seems
37 like it is time to give something "back", => make sure a change required
38 for systemd doesn't hurt non-systemd users.

40 Thanks.
