Hello everybody,
those of us using overlays might have noticed that they can seriously slow

cache.
For overlay maintainers providing a metadata cache is quite tricky because to
be really consistent and useful it'd hav

Ohey,
I've opened a bug at:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573922
The idea here is to change the order of the providers of virtual/udev.
For existing installs this has zero impact.
For stage3 this would mean that eudev is pulled in instead of udev.
The rationale behind this is:
* eudev

As of commit ed047cf2c607277629c20bf1a88d727a7f9bb79e we have
sys-libs/glibc-2.23 in ~arch.
This breaks *lots* of stuff. For example coreutils was broken [1].
According to the tracker bug [2] most of the breakage was introduced in
a gentoo-specific patch.
