This time the news was released before the update became available, although for something as potentially system-breaking as this, the gap should have been several days larger IMO. > So, again, I would really, really like a very simple answer as to the > *best* way to retain the old way that is least likely to cause problems > down the road (ie, if/when udev is subsumed by systemd).

Or is there more to it? quickpkg udev && emerge -Ca udev && emerge -1a eudev Don't try removing virtual/udev, that is depended on by several packages (and probably system) but is satisfied by eudev. The only gotcha I found is that the USE flags for eudev must match those for eudev, so if you have anything udev-related in /etc/portage/package.use, make sure it applies to eudev too. -- Neil Bothwick Did you hear about the blind prostitute?
