nope, you just believed all the FUD there has been out there. i've said |
| 38 |
it many times, and i'll say it again: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
the only real different is USE="rule-generator" and that's it |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
and sys-fs/eudev is constantly out of date and haven't developed any |
| 43 |
features of their own |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
so why follow with unreliable fork, when there is the official package |
| 46 |
available with equal features? |
