The bugs assigned to udev-bugs@ apply also to sys-fs/eudev in almost |
| 61 |
every case. |
| 62 |
And the sys-fs/eudev specific bugs are in the github page at 'Tickets', |
| 63 |
and some in bugzilla. |
| 64 |
And yes, there are attempt at keeping up-to-date but everytime I (or we) |
| 65 |
review how it was done, bits are missing from here and there. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
So still, eudev is the unnecessary experimental toy trying to catch up |
| 68 |
udev, and sys-fs/udev will be the default for long as sys-apps/openrc is |
| 69 |
the default. |
