devd, acpiconf and such
Hi! Looking at the freebsd kernel event system I obviously came across the devd. Are there any plans to include it or is the plan to port the Linux udev system to kfreebsd? Looking at devd.conf and its usage I have to say that I really like it; in contrast to udev (or whatever the current hotplug system on GNU/Linux is) it is easy to understand and thus I assume also easy to debug. It is much like pf.conf in contrast to iptables. The devd code does not look too complex and it should be straightforward to port it to glibc. To support acpi suspend we also need the acpiconf tool, which is even more trivial. Anyone working on it? Shall I take it up? Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.

The plan is to include it, the udev file system is not something that can be ported, it is to dependent on the kernel.
