This is another good reason why udev should have _never_ been integrated into systemd!
In case someone still wants to retain his original systemd INSTALL_MASK, just use udev ebuilds from poly-c overlay. These ebuilds - still install udevd into /sbin where a daemon belongs to. - disable the crappy new network naming scheme by default - install the new naming scheme config files into /lib/udev/network/ (version >=209) - try to prevent most naming pollution of pure udev with systemd crap. I have no plans to stop fixing the annoyances the gentoo udev ebuilds have since udev was integrated into systemd in the ebuilds from my overlay. <div>-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --------</div><div>Von: Mike Gilbert <flop...@gentoo.org> </div><div>Datum:24.02.2014 16:55 (GMT+01:00) </div><div>An: Gentoo Dev <gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org> </div><div>Betreff: Re: [gentoo-dev] News item draft for >=sys-fs/udev-209 upgrade </div><div> </div>On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 7:58 AM, Thomas D. <whi...@whissi.de> wrote: > Hi, > > not everyone is using systemd.

If you don't want unit files, mask /lib/systemd/system/ instead.
