That's really interesting, thanks. Is there any overlay with those?

Sorry, I do not remember where it came from and nothing about it at overlay

hi all, a question (on topic for a change :) ), i am trying to get udev-fork going on Arch ( thankless task ), i/we have packaged it etc, but there seems to be an issue of a modified soname making it NOT a dropin replacement in an arch system without a bit of recompiling ( an option i am exploring with a script ). Anyway is this a case for a patch ? Would it be feasible to patch the source ( in this case ) and change the soname to whatever the bloody distro is calling for.
That way i dont have to bother the authors with what to them is needless requests.

Sure, here you go.
Code:

diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am
index ed86c4c..c2a725f 100644
--- a/Makefile.am
+++ b/Makefile.am
@@ -6,12 +6,12 @@ SUBDIRS = .
 ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS}
 AM_MAKEFLAGS = --no-print-directory
 
-LIBUDEV_CURRENT=13
-LIBUDEV_REVISION=4
-LIBUDEV_AGE=0
+LIBUDEV_CURRENT=2
+LIBUDEV_REVISION=0
+LIBUDEV_AGE=1
 
 LIBGUDEV_CURRENT=1
-LIBGUDEV_REVISION=1
+LIBGUDEV_REVISION=2
 LIBGUDEV_AGE=1
 
 AM_CPPFLAGS = \


Check the numbers in question, I took them from the current systemd tree, so they may be too 'up-to-date'.

Sorry, missed that indeed. The release had been made before we actually moved udevd to /sbin and therefore wasn't affected. Use -9999 or wait until we do release 190 (yet almost nothing has been commited to upstream udev, so probably new release won't change anything).

grey_dot ... I am using 9999, I was just reporting for the sake of others who may install it, along with x-udev::udev-init-scripts, and have the init script look under /sbin. Anyhow, 189 isn't keyworded so it shouldn't hit anyone, just thought it was worth mentioning thats all.

Hi again, is that the whole of the patch?, patch is complaining that its terminating in mid line, maybe a bit is missing from the bottom ?

Sure will forward all results and bugs straight to you guys, i think quite a few people will be running it, as its the only real alternative to sysd, and all the bug notices are going through me cos i invented the packages, so passing em to you no probs :)

Dio you guys like any "official "format for bug reports, or can we just mail em as emails?

thanks for this fork! i was thinking about what i was going to undergo to remove udev completely from my systems, now i did not need to bother.
udev overlay maintainers should consider to add:
/var/lib/layman/udev/profiles/repo_name:
udev

that file to ease overlays management and merging issues related to an unnamed overlay.

EDIT: µdev seems a very good name for me and i guess _µ_ is pretty accessible (even on us keyboards?).

Try adding new line to the end.

Just leave 'em there https://bitbucket.org/braindamaged/udev/issues. We probably will launch a maillist later when we have where to host it.

tclover ... I think something simpler would be better as its not obvious to everyone how to produce that char. Right now a name change might cause some unnecessary headaches due to dependencies, and unless there is somekind of virtual it may not work in favour of adoption. Anyhow, as others have suggested potencial names, I'll do the same: nudev.

No need to worry about the non-ascii, typing it out as "mudev" works (and it'll go pretty well with musl when that takes over the world too :D)

how many are using this fork already? how stable is it?
I'm thinking of migrating to it but I cannot afford it to shutdown my server.

I just installed the forked udev, and its working well as far as I can tell. Good work! One thing that I'm not sure is my fault or not. I installed the udev-init-scripts from the overlay, but when the script started it complained about not being able to find /lib/udev/udevd, so I just symlinked that to /sbin/udevd. Also I forgot to add the script to sysinit, but it looks like my system booted fine without udev even running on account of automounting devtmpfs. I'm sure those two issues stem from my ineptitude, and due to the fact that I'm not overly used to OpenRC, and my lack of ability with Portage. However I am happy with it so far, so please keep up the good work, and I hope you succeed with this endeavor.

EDIT: Just noticed that the script warns you to add it to sysinit, so I guess I was too tired and missed that, still funny that my system still booted.

hcaulfield57 ... yes, the udev-init-scripts-16 patch for /etc/conf.d/udev still has '+udev_cmd=/lib/udev/udevd', but the actual location of udevd is /sbin if installing udev-9999 (which will happen because both 189 and 9999 are unkeyworded). So, rather than sym-link simply edit /etc/conf.d/net and change udev_cmd= to /sbin/udev.

Udev-189 have been downloaded about 40 times, and I don't know how many people use -9999 (probably more than -189, though bitbucket doesn't provide statistics on repo access, so I can't say for sure).
At the moment we have no runtime issues, and I think I can say it's stable enough to be used. No system restart is needed :)

Why not "mudev"? νdev is kinda less cool than μdev. :-)

the 9999 is the equivalent of udev-9999?
