First of all, eudev only has IUSE="rule-generator" that is backported |
| 19 |
from udev-171. |
| 20 |
It's otherwise same in users point of view with sys-fs/udev, except |
| 21 |
sys-fs/eudev is constantly out of date and the code forwarding from |
| 22 |
upstream is not very reliable process. |
| 23 |
Futhermore sys-fs/udev is not 'old' but it's the new one and will be the |
| 24 |
default for OpenRC for long as OpenRC is in Portage. |
| 25 |
I don't want to bash anything or anybody but sys-fs/eudev as-is in the |
| 26 |
Portage is currently useless and a bit buggy. |
