udev is part of systemd now, because the systemd developers were the only ones willing to maintain it.
- RunningDroid 6y agoDoesn't the existence of eudev disprove that? (This is a serious question; I'm not trying to start a fight)
- microcolonel 6y agoI think the existence of eudev proves that somebody is now willing to maintain a udev, but it wasn't always the case.
- TheGoddessInari 6y agoEudev was forked in the immediate aftermath because systemd only cares about systemd. Even Torvalds strongly criticized systemd-udev maintainership[1]. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/3/484 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/3/484
