As discussed on IRC, there is still no consensus for installing the udev |
| 29 |
files with systemd, which is the beginning for the block and the |
| 30 |
virtual. So we should first sort that point out, before we even start to |
| 31 |
think about an ebuild for an udev virtual. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So for now: A clear no, i am against adding a virtual/libudev ebuild. |
