All,

I would like to propose that we switch the default udev provider on new
systems from eudev to udev.

This is not a lastrites, and it will not affect current systems since
they have to migrate manually. Also, this change can be overridden at
the profile level if some profile needs eudev (the last time I checked,
this applies to non-glibc configurations).

What do people think?

Thanks,

William


I had the opposite problem, udev failed to work with newer udev-init-scripts so all my systems were migrated to eudev. Looking at the bug report (https://bugs.gentoo.org/681586), some of the others had the same experience.

It was a drop-in replacement for me, personally I don't care if I have udev or eudev installed (if it works).
