Udev and systemd to merge
Udev and systemd to merge
[Development] Posted Apr 3, 2012 16:37 UTC (Tue) by corbet
Kay Sievers has sent out an announcement that the udev and systemd projects
will be merging into a single source tree. "Today, ‘Init’ needs to
be fully hotplug-capable; udev device management and knowledge about device
lifecycles is an integral part of systemd and not an isolated logic. Due to
this, and to minimize our administrative workload, as well as to minimize
duplication of code, and to resolve cyclic build dependencies in the core
OS, we have decided to merge the two projects.
" What the developers
will not do is remove the ability to build and run udev on a system
that is not using systemd.
