and I just searched gentoo's bugzilla for "eudev" and there is a single |
| 52 |
bug which is a stabilisation request. Looking at the eudev github page |
| 53 |
recent updates range from hours to days though some are months as one |
| 54 |
would expect. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
If its unreliable, where are the bugs? Try doing a search of gentoo's |
| 57 |
bugzilla for udev instead of eudev ... |
