This is another good reason why udev should have _never_ been integrated into systemd!

In case someone still wants to retain his original systemd INSTALL_MASK, just use udev ebuilds from poly-c overlay. These ebuilds

- still install udevd into /sbin where a daemon belongs to.
- disable the crappy new network naming scheme by default
- install the new naming scheme config files into /lib/udev/network/ (version >=209)
- try to prevent most naming pollution of pure udev with systemd crap.

I have no plans to stop fixing the annoyances the gentoo udev ebuilds have since udev was integrated into systemd in the ebuilds from my overlay.

You need to remove /lib/systemd/ from INSTALL_MASK. If you don't want
unit files, mask /lib/systemd/system/ instead.

While you're whinging about integration, you're sending bad HTML email.

no, it doesn't. it's an executable that should be ran within the init
script only, and has no business in living in $PATH. the only reason we
still
had it in /sbin, was me sturbornly avoiding /lib/systemd directory since
the systemd-udevd would have been the only file there, which is
no longer the case.

stupid, since upstream assured me, systemd-udevd won't be the only
package reading the file from it's intended location

Funny that the person who turned official Gentoo udev ebuilds into the
stupid pile of crap they are today tells that these changes are
stupid... 
But well... I wouldn't have expected anything else...

Riiight... as udev has anything else to do with systemd other than
being uselessly integrated into systemd whereas it can still work on
its own with no whatsoever relation to systemd. But yes, totally
childish...

I wouldn't say childish but it doesn't seem too useful to me. It
seems clear (at least to me) that even if there isn't so tight
integration of udev with systemd today it's reasonable to expect
that there will be tight integration in the soonish future, as
upstream continues to move in the direction they like.

There's nothing wrong per se with a future udev ebuild which
applies a mega-patch onto systemd sources in order to get udevd
standalone but I think that's probably not the most useful
contribution you can make to Gentoo, Lars.

Of course in the end you should work on what you like, but in your
place I would probably focus on something else, probably eudev.

As long as it's feasible I will continue patching the systemd crap out
of udev. 
The worst part always was and still is the man pages as one cannot
re-use previous patches on them. Whatever systemd maniacs are doing
there, it's the most time consuming part of the patching. 
The fun part is, it's still quite easy to get udev standalone without
anything being related to systemd (with the exception of the systemd
unit files which still can be used with my ebuilds).

Don't oversell this; your changes are purely cosmetic and really
amount to renaming a few files. udev still includes code from several
systemd helper libraries; it just gets linked in statically.

There's another option, too: mdev, from busybox:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev

It works well if you have a rather simple system.  I.e., for me, headless
machines (most of the time), PS/2 KB and mouse when not headless, one
network interface (wired, no wifi), separate /usr, no disk encryption, and
use static IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6).

Additionally, there is a sep-usr flag to the busybox package that people
running /usr on a different partition might want to look into.  It installs
a /ginit file that assists in getting /usr mounted early enough w/o a
initramfs so that things don't break.  Though, I am also not using that on
my x86_64 box and it boots fine, so YMMV.

First of all, kernel option CONFIG_FHANDLE=y should be enabled since version
209 for libudev, but mostly this news item is to inform you about the network
interface naming configuration change:

/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules was renamed to
80-net-setup-link.rules and the actual configuration is at
/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link which you can override in
/etc/systemd/network/

SHOULD or NEEDS TO BE ?  Honestly, this didn't read like much of a news
announcement at all, and reads more like something I'd write when I want
to tell myself something.

The first paragraph of it should probably be rewritten.

Could you wait for 210, please? Upstream promised they're going to
release it soon and it has a number of important fixes. We don't want
to maintain a huge patch set to systemd-209, so we'd rather wait
for 210, and it's better for users when udev & systemd are on par.

Hi,

not everyone is using systemd. On my systems for example, I don't have
"/lib/systemd/" (INSTALL_MASK).

The current news item draft raises question like "When the 'actual
configuration' is in /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link... what will
happen to people without systemd (and a INSTALL_MASK set)?"

Would be nice if the news item and Wiki could handle upgrade path for
systemd *and* non-systemd users...

Thanks.

You need to remove /lib/systemd/ from INSTALL_MASK. If you don't want
unit files, mask /lib/systemd/system/ instead.

Yeah. I poked around on the wiki a bit to try and find any reference
to INSTALL_MASK and systemd, but didn't find anything.

Minor note, also not using systemd (or udev, for that matter), but out of
curiosity, I checked my x86_64 system and I don't have a /lib/systemd
directory.  Looks like everything is in /usr/lib/systemd instead.  So, this
might be a good item to document somewhere (possibly the wiki), so people
aren't confused and add the wrong directories to INSTALL_MASK (or other
relevant variables)

I really just meant to correct any existing documentation which may exist.

Adding both /lib/systemd/systemd and /usr/lib/systemd/system should be
fairly safe.

One question - if i have net.ifnames=0 in kernel cmdline and no
80-net-name-slot.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d - will everything be fine
with this upgrade(of course, after checking of CONFIG_FHANDLE)?

If yes, i think it should be mentioned, something like 'if you disabled
persinent network interface names via kernel command line - nothing will
change for you'.
