Alternative(s)? Or can we revert and then hold?

I remember and found a discussion we had last year http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=23448#p23448.

I guess all that really changed is they removed the symlink and old udevd files and directories.

Code: Select all

> ls -l /sbin/udevd
ls: cannot access /sbin/udevd: No such file or directory
> ls -l /lib/systemd/
total 400
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root   4096 Jun  2 20:01 system/
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 403244 Jun  2 03:10 systemd-udevd*
So it looks like the options are in that thread. I kill that process anyway after I boot up; so whatever it's called; its killed.

Yes, it's harmless, the old /sbin/udev was a leftover from "transition" times. The changelog says:

* Stop using /sbin/udevd and drop the compat symlink.
* Remove any vestiges of /dev/.udev/. This directory has been replaced by /run/udev/ since wheezy.

Let's hope that this opens the way some alternative *dev packages in the repos :)
