Yes, it will be optional. Udev-171 had: (A) persistent-net-generator.rules (and their helpers) installed only via USE='rule-generator' (ie, --with-rule-generator), which is how I plan to manage it in eudev as well; and (B) there was a way in udev.conf to disable (or actually skip) generation of persistent-net.rules -- this was handled in the init scripts and so I am unsure if it will be put back, but if the sys-fs/udev maintainers see no issues with this code being put back into the init scripts then we will ensure that works as well. Since the USE flag will be off by default I expect the majority of users will end up with the functionality they seem to want, which is that nothing will create the persistent-net.rules but they can do so by hand. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlDOfigACgkQ2ugaI38ACPC1owD/ZdhdqRXThl9RKZORhFtpyqCt 2h9/kV6TNHCTZ0jGd3gBAKocEC4xCds0Pit1+XB9yJh2zI50NIrKq0ahiLwhleMp =cTyP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
