This was meant as a stop-gap solution +until such time as the problems with systemd on musl had been resolved. +This is now the case with patches provided by openembedded, and my original +reason for maintaining eudev is no longer relevant. + +I am willing to transfer eudev to another umbrella organization or Linux +distribution that is willing to continue its maintenance, but maintaining +eudev cannot be done purely through proxy-maintaining and requires an +understanding of its internals. This is a steep learning curve and must +be an earnest effort. For this reason, the Base System project has decided +not to support eudev as an option going forward.

This is a steep learning curve and must +be an earnest effort. For this reason, the Base System project has decided +not to support eudev as an option going forward.
