Otherworlds ... basically, udev was incorporated into systemd, subsequently some gentoo developers forked udev, naming the project eudev. Since that time various distributions have opted to use eudev as a replacement for udev's device management. The reasons for this are many, but primarly it is so as to get out from under the presure to adopt systemd, as udev-standalone was variously described as a "dead end", or those still using it provided a "wake-up call" in the form of "we will not support non-systemd systems with udev anymore".
Which is better? You decide  BTW, I don't use either, there are other methods of doing device management, such as mdev, or static-dev, so it's not an either/or proposition.
best ... khay |
Thanks for the enlightenment dude appreciate it, so many things changing I'm glad to catch them when I can..

It even installs a systemd-free xfce and kde.

Don't know about xfce, but both KDE4 and Plasma 5 work just fine without systemd...

xfce should be systemd agnostic, but KDE was heading down the GNOME route of relying on logind
| Quote: |
Going forward, KDE developers may look at making greater use of systemd user units, potentially replacing parts of the KDE daemon with systemd directly for managing services.
The systemd usage in KDE Plasma isn't yet mandated given that some platforms (particularly the BSDs) lack systemd and that alternatives for implementing these interfaces are still maturing. |
that was one year ago so no idea if they actually did it

That's an interesting statement considering git master works fine without systemd. |

I take it you can cite where I stated it relies on. I clearly stated "route of relying on"

| Well, a possible future development in that direction doesn't matter for the current release of one antiX-core. And if there is going to be a logind hard-dependency for Plasma-5, there are already shims available (to be able to start kwin_wayland with non-systemd). At this point you can even go without *kit altogether afaik, and going forward upstream has also accepted patches to support consolekit2 as an alternative to systemd. |

| Erm, what? I was precisely answering to your 'route' to systemd in KDE, stating actions in their git repository against the statement of an individual. |

support either provider and cooperate with those who provide patches
when necessary." |

Done.
Gentoo is rolling, so a link to the git commit would be appropriate. |

eudev used in Zenwalk 8.0-beta1:
http://i.imgur.com/VmkhQoA.png
This was released in January, see this thread.
If you go by Distrowatch you'd think they switched in February, when Zenwalk 8.0-beta2 was released. |

Simplicity Linux 16.04 is still using udev:

Which is odd, considering it's based on Puppy Linux, and Puppy switched to eudev over a year ago. |

TLD Linux is probably using eudev:
| Quote: |
udev 3.1.5-1 Device manager for the Linux kernel
|
http://cri.tld-linux.org/tld-2016.01.x64.txt
EDIT: confirmed they have switched to eudev, by digging through the wiki and mailing list. |

It's going to be a long wait before they all switch to eudev. |
