Don't feel bad, I don't use udev either but use eudev. Some opted to use mdev too. Digest command: ebuild path/to/ebuild manifest/digest Naturally that is from memory and replace the relevant parts. You may need manifest for one or digest but structure is the same. Actually, I think they both do the same thing after a quick glance at man ebuild. Should get you started tho. Keep in mind, after you sync, busted again unless you put it in a overlay. If you don't sync often, you may not care tho. May even be properly fixed by then.
