So how to get eventfs going with vdev.

./eventfs /run/udev

or where should eventfs be mounted?


Eventfs mounting will not be handled by vdev, right?

Hey everyone,

I promise, I'm not dead :)  I've been working on vdev off and on over
the past couple months as time permitted, but I haven't had anything
interesting to report here (mostly bug fixes, which are tracked on the
project's Github [1]).  This past week I've been able to spend more
time on vdev, now that my major event for $WORK has come and gone.

I'm pleased to announce the availability of eventfs [2], the final
piece of software required to replace udev.  Eventfs is a specialized
userspace filesystem that replaces the udev-to-libudev event multicast
protocol, which is currently based on netlink but will soon be based
on kdbus.  Eventfs fulfills an equivalent role, but it does so in a
portable manner in userspace, and it abstracts dealing with message
multicast groups as dealing with files and directories with a few
extra rules [3].

I'm going to migrate my production machine to using eventfs with
libudev-compat this weekend.  Once I'm satisfied that it works as
expected, I'll begin packaging all of vdev's components for Devuan.

Questions, comments, and feedback are all welcome :)

Thanks,y
Jude
