I'm glad to hear it! If you find any problems or have any suggestions on
how the design or implementation could be improved, feel free to open
issues against it on either the github page (
https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev) or the Devuan project page (
https://git.devuan.org/pkgs-utopia-substitution/vdev).

You may be interested to know that you can test vdev side-by-side with udev
(or mdev, or static dev, or whatever's managing /dev) by having it generate
device files in whatever directory suits you. The only caveat is that it
must run as root, since listening to the kernel for device events is a
privileged operation (I just opened issue #18 on the github page to see
about running specific actions as an unprivileged user, if this is a
concern).
