I don't think any of your posts has changed that fact.  In all honestly, if anyone was interested in stepping up and at least trying to maintain eudev, they most likely aren't now.  After all, if they stop maintaining eudev later for whatever reason, they have you to look forward too.  I'm sure several devs have your messages sent straight to the trash.  One posted as much.  You are not accomplishing anything, likely even hurting yourself.  I think I'm done here too.  Dale :-)  :-)
