How FreeBSD-specific is it exactly ? Could it be ported to Linux ?
I'm currently looking for a some helper library that finds/enumerate
input devices (mice, touchpads, etc). Is there anything (non-systemd-
crap)

Mesa uses the name sysfs, which might be better than sysdev.
The following two might be a good start:

I was looking through how FreeBSD handles the lack of udev while still
supporting Mesa, and it seems they patched it to use their libdevq [1]. I
wonder if there's some overlap with libsysdev here that can be put to use
for us...

Hi Jude,
I thought you were making vdev to plug replace udev. By the way, when
it's ready, I have several Epoch and runit experimental setups I'd like
to use it on.
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
That's the plan :). However, one aspect of replacing udev with vdev is
making a libudev compatibility library that will let us use exiting
programs and libraries (like Mesa) without having to patch them. This
libudev-compat will probably make use of libsysdev and possibly OS-specific

Cool Jude!
As a member of the minimum dependencies crew, I just have to ask:
Would libsysdev, libdevq et al already be installed on a native Systemd
installation? It's important that vdev be easily installable, without
too much

Many, many thanks Isaac Jude. We have great new alternative to udev

potential users!

Hi Isaac,
Excellent point about vdev_linux_sysfs_read_device_mode(). For the very
reason you mentioned, that code is on the way out. It was (incorrectly)
used in a couple other places in the past before I knew better, but right
now it's only use is in confirming that a device that has a known

Hi Isaac,
I was asking about implementation details (something like the HACKING
document that many projects have, giving an overview of how it works
internally).
Good idea; I'll add one.
I'm getting the impression that libsysdev won't really make a good
backend for the udev API; libudev is
