That might be the systemd upstream view point, but definately isn't mine. |
| 19 |
Fact is that udev can be built and ran standalone without systemd and |
| 20 |
you don't need eudev for that. |
| 21 |
If udev upstream makes it impossible to build, or run it standalone then |
| 22 |
we need to patch or fork it -- but that's far from now. |
| 23 |
In any case there will always be sys-fs/udev and it will never require |
| 24 |
sys-apps/systemd. |
| 25 |
Futhermore sys-fs/udev will be the default for long as sys-apps/openrc |
| 26 |
is the default. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I mean, why the heck fork something too early when upstream still |
| 29 |
supports udev on non-systemd init systems?! |
