There still is choice. It's just harder to find and/or use, unfortunately. |

We have the sys-fs/eudev package that forked udev and re-split it out of |
| 43 |
systemd. That might satisfy your need for a clean replacement of the |
| 44 |
standard udev w/o modifying any custom device rules and such that you might |
| 45 |
have. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
There's also the option of using busybox's mdev as well, although it's a lot |
| 48 |
more limited and no where near as configurable as udev/eudev is. But for |
| 49 |
some, it works perfectly (like me). |
