This makes two of us :)
I installed jessie-beta on a disk some time ago, and off hand it boots and runs just fine. However I didn't migrate it to from my current Debian Wheezy because I was waiting for the eudev/vdev/udev issue to be resolved, figuring that migrating up from present udev to one of the others could well be traumatic. I didn't want to do it on a system on which I relied for work. Two questions, if I may: Is eudev being actively worked on, and is it likely to be in the upcoming non-beta Jessie Devuan? I hear complaints that there insufficient work being put into the Devuan project. Is there a crisis because of lack of volunteers? Is it likely that a non-beta Devuan Jessie will make the light of day in first half of 2017? Haines Brown
I have been using eudev on a mixed Debian Wheezy and Devuan packages for more than a year.
I am not a software developer. But due to my frustrations of not finding Debian based eudev package, I forced myself to maintain it on https://github.com/anto/eudev based on the work of Jaret Cantu on https://git.devuan.org/jaretcantu/eudev. I have been trying to maintain it as close as possible to the one maintained by Gentoo. But I have not got the time to update it for almost a year now, so it is 28 commits behind Gentoo eudev. I think I will do that in this long holidays.
I am using it on my two laptops, one Xen based VPS and one KVM based VPS. I have not got any issues so far. But I do not claim it to be perfect and free of errors. Perhaps it only works on the setup that I have. So please use it at your own risk.
Cheers, Anto _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
