The eudev project launches

Eudev is the Gentoo-based fork of udev which was covered here in November. The project has now officially announced its existence. "udev often breaks compatibility with older systems by depending upon recent Linux kernel releases, even when such dependencies are avoidable. This became worse after udev became part of systemd, which has jeopardized our ability to support existing installations. The systemd developers are uninterested in providing full support in udev to systemd alternatives. These are problems for us and we have decided to fork udev to address them."
