When I switched from udev to eudev, it was as simple as uninstalling |
| 23 |
udev and installing eudev. I'd think as you do the reverse would work |
| 24 |
now as well but as you point out, it may not. I'd recommend going to a |
| 25 |
console to do this and logging out of any GUIs as well. Of course |
| 26 |
restarting udev afterwards as well. |

I also saw the post about new maintainers. I'm hopeful that it will |
| 29 |
keep being maintained even tho it can be a headache for devs at times. |

Thing is, I've read a lot of distros use eudev and avoid the systemd |
| 31 |
version as much as possible, even tho eudev still has the same code from |
| 32 |
my understanding. Still, I'd rather stick with what works for me. |

Maybe we will know pretty soon what the status of this will be. |
