Hello devopment folks,
the eudev project got abandoned by the main development team some time ago.
See: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/eudev.git/commit/?id=f559dc96f4105f605272defac9276ef9cb6f5dc6
Currently this old code base works very well on our systems, but we are getting troubles to compile
some newer sort of software with it. The second very important point is
we need a maintainded udev code base again.
Sadly the only remaining udev code base is the officiall one, which got
part of systemd and as a result of the pointed issues above the
following patch series aims to bring a maintained udev back to IPFire.
The first two patches will add some additional packages which are
required by the build system.
The third patch will adjust the LFS file to build udev from the systemd
source code as minimal as possible (all systemd stuff is stripped).
The last patch will adjust the build order of some packages to get udev
and depending packages build.
The new version of udev successfully has been compiled and tested in a
virtual environment (KVM) which worked well.
Because udev is a very critical part of the boot process, this changes
have to be tested very well until we can merge this patchset.
Please help testing and share your feedback.
Best regards,
-Stefan
