Eudev was started, in +part because systemd did not build on musl-libc systems and a fork +of the udev portion of systemd was required. Currently systemd can +be built on musl systems with patches from the openembedded team, and +the need to maintain a separate fork is no longer pressing. + +Nonetheless, many distros have adopted eudev as their device manager +and so may want to continue using it. Anyone interested in inheriting +the repo may contact me at [email protected]. + + Anthony G. Basile + +========== + + This git repo is a fork of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd with the aim of isolating udev from any particular flavor of system initialization. In this case, the isolation is from systemd.
