eudev

eudev is a standalone dynamic and persistent device naming support (aka userspace devfs) daemon that runs independently from the init system. eudev strives to remain init system and linux distribution neutral. It is currently used as the devfs manager for more than a dozen different linux distributions. This git repo is a fork of systemd repository with the aim of isolating udev from any particular flavor of system initialization. In this case, the isolation is from systemd. This is a project started by Gentoo developers and testing was initially being done mostly on OpenRC. We welcome contribution from others using a variety of system initializations to ensure eudev remains system initialization and distribution neutral. On 2021-08-20 Gentoo decided to abandon eudev and a new project was established on 2021-09-14 by Alpine, Devuan and Gentoo contributors.
