1 In the instructions here, I've set up a revised dev-manager ebuild in
2 an overlay. I've requested the changes to be incorporated into the
3 official ebuild and it appears to have been accepted. See...

7 It should be rolled out eventually, and the overlay won't be necessary.

9 I think I've found one item so far that requires udev. My laptop's
10 graphics chip needs a binary blob from radeon-ucode. That binary blob,
11 in turn, requires the presence of /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 which is a
12 symlink to /usr/lib/libudev.so.0.9.3 (which is also required). I can
13
14 emerge udev
15 move or copy the 2 files over to /root
16 unmerge udev
17 move or copy the 2 files from /root to /usr/lib/
18
19 and it still works. Note that /usr/lib/ is a symlink to /usr/lib64 on my
20 64-bit gentoo.
