>From what I understand, the sentence above is assuming you are running "make". Their makefile is well specified, so you can just build udevd by running "make udevd". However, I have yet to see (and haven't tried) how easy it would be to actually build all of the udev components from the sysemd source in the context of a package. I.e., you could not rely on the output of "make install" putting the files you need into a given directory, I think you'd need to cherry-pick the files you *know* you need for udev, and tracking that set and changes to it may prove a real pain.
