People have been saying that for years. Maybe it will happen some day, maybe it won't. The sys-fs/udev package only works without systemd. It is the upstream udev implementation. > So if you want to run "udev" ... you going to be running "systemd". No > choice. If that ever happens the udev package will go away. Its only purpose is for running udev without systemd. By all means make an informed decision about whether you want to run udev or eudev. However, the udev package will never require systemd to be installed. -- Rich
