As i announced yersterday in the IRC Channel, i just uploaded the
repository of gnuinos containing (in addition to linux-libre-4.6.2
and simple-netaid) the packages of vdev:

deb http://packages.gnuinos.org/ jessie main
deb-src http://packages.gnuinos.org/ jessie main

Linux-libre has been built using libudev-dev. Now, i'll try it again
using Jude Nelson's *libudev-compat* (which should be recalled to
libudev-compat-dev ?? ), instead of libudev-dev.

I also should add the following line to debian/control:

Provides: libudev-dev

Great. I'll make an extra install of Jessie this week to test the
packages (I run Ascii for the moment). Packaging is essential for
testing vdev by many people.

A mature Devuan absolutely needs a replacement for udev. It's essential
IMHO. If Devuan stays with udev, it will be swallowed by systemd one
day or another.

FWIW, I know very little about Devuan package building, so I jumped straight to compiling the github source for vdev, and installing from it. After just a couple of tweaks of the runtime and initramfs configurations, I've made a successful replacement on a pristine Devuan 1.0.0 install, with the 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel.

Of course I don't know anything about how complete it is in respect of handling all sorts of devices.

Ralph.
