I honestly was afraid of this with running some updates lately. |
| 25 |
Like... Not this specifically, but because someone was commenting |
| 26 |
about eudev->udev causing problems... And then the problems I was |
| 27 |
having a hard time with some updates on a relatively new instance, and |
| 28 |
I noticed that was something that needed to be done for Gentoo |
| 29 |
purposes... They do seem to be doing *somewhat* better for having |
| 30 |
Gentoo workable than when I started looking at using them in part |
| 31 |
because of that (yeah I know it's not recommended, and I don't really |
| 32 |
recommend it for anyone else, but it's what I like). |
