Description Paul Barker 2026-07-21 14:40:27 UTC

We have become aware we should ideally replace eudev with a minimal udev build from systemd instead, similar to what some other distros are doing.

Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2026-07-23 14:44:55 UTC

eudev, a gentoo fork of udev, is unmaintained. 
Gentoo has move to eudev.

Comment 2 Ross Burton 2026-07-23 14:46:08 UTC

Prior art in gentoo is the systemd-utils package which amongst other bits, builds a standalone udev from systemd: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/systemd-utils.
