When I posted this topic I expected to have at least a bunch of
replies. Yesterday I updated a freshly installed Devuan Jessie and I got
a warning about the network devices that are going to be changed and
that the 70-persistent-network.rules was going to be ignored. IOW: I
think vdev is very important for a systemd-free distro like Devuan.

Today I gave it a try on an ascii machine, but the README.md that comes
with a "git clone" seems to be outdated. And when following the
instructions on

https://git.devuan.org/unsystemd/vdev

I ran into a dependency hell. Unfortunately I'm not a skilled
programmer otherwise I would certainly have spent some time to
contribute.

There is quite some activity here, but when I post a topic about a
quite important unsystemd daemon there is almost no reply. That's
rather alarming IMHO....

I have no idea if there are alternatives to udev. If you're writing
your own hotplugger, wouldn't it be an idea to statically create all
possible devices in /dev (MAKEDEV) and to have the hotplugger just add
and remove symlinks? I know, I'm a noob, I have no idea what I'm talking
about but you never know :)
