 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?

Vdev won't set up eventfs.  I'll ship a sysv init script with it that
will mount it automatically (probably shortly after init starts, since
libudev-compat programs will need it relatively early in the boot
process).

Is it a hard dependency on eventfs?

Or will some functionality work without eventfs?

Is it the same data as was made availible in /run/udev before??



I was planning on having it mounted on /run/events, in order to make
it available as a generic IPC system for other programs to use for
their own purposes.  Eventfs isn't specific to vdev; I'm hoping to
use it as a partial alternative to dbus.  I'm open to alternative
mount points, though.

@jaromil
 Amazing news. noone here doubts you are continuing to build up on
the
solid foundations you laid, I am sure vdev will become a relevant
component for many mission-critical GNU/Linux system installations.

Please do not hesitate to ask for anything you need in terms of
infrastructure and funding we can contribute from our donation pot.

Thank you for your generous offer!  I think I'm fine for now insofar
as development infrastructure, but one thing that will be particularly
tricky is creating the packaging scripts needed to replace udev
automatically, but without rendering the host unbootable if something
goes wrong.

Thanks,
Jude
