I migrated by keywording eudev-0 and I've been upgrading from there. I also added USE=openrc globally. If I recall, I got a blocker with udev, unmerged it and then merge eudev. But as of recently you might also get a blocker with kmod. Having said that, the migration was the worst part. After that I was fine. -- Anthony G. Basile, Ph. D.
