Systemd requires system configuration differently compared to |
| 25 |
openrc and other rc systems. One cannot expect eudev (or sys-fs/udev) |
| 26 |
to be drop-in replacements for systemd and for them to read systemd |
| 27 |
configuration. See |
| 28 |
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.link.html |
| 29 |
for more information on network linking, especially the very |
| 30 |
systemd-specific config locations. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If someone whats to use both openrc and systemd on the same system, |
| 33 |
then they can't have EITHER sys-fs/udev OR sys-fs/eudev installed, |
| 34 |
so the point to this particular discussion is rather moot. |
| 35 |
Systemd-udev from the systemd package could theoretically read the |
| 36 |
network-link config files, assuming that systemd doesn't need to be |
| 37 |
PID1 for this to occur; it could very well be, however, that even |
| 38 |
when systemd is installed, booting openrc the network link setup |
| 39 |
will still need to be configured appropriately outside of these |
| 40 |
systemd configs. |
