Hello Everybody,

I have learnt a lot in the last few days about some tiny parts in the
development of packages for Debian based distros. The result of that is
on https://git.devuan.org/anto/gentoo-eudev.

There are some annoying issues that I still cannot find the solutions for.

I have tried to respect the efforts of others by preserving their
commits, but their last updates and commits on some files are not being
shown on the "Files" tab.

The other issue is that, there seems to be no way to add empty lines
after the code block as Markdown always removes them. For instance, I
would like to add an empty line above "On Debian wheezy installs" on
README.md file.

In regards to the licensing and setting the maintainer of the package,
since I didn't fork the whole repository I am not sure whether I need to
add the license and keep the previous maintainer or not.

Do you have any suggestions on the above issues?

A part from the above, I really appreciate any feedbacks from you
especially on which parts that I did wrong and whether there is
something that needs to be added or remove.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Anto

PS: Before you ask, yes I have been using the latest eudev package 3.0+
which is compatible with systemd-udev 219+ as shown below. However, I
prefer to use the packages from Debian wheezy repository as much as
possible.
