These packages were built by David Hare a little over a year ago. They
appear to work on current devuan. I don't know if he plans to update them.

add this line to your sources:
deb http://exegnulinux.net/nosystemd/ experimental main

Install this key
http://exegnulinux.net/nosystemd/pool/main/e/exegnu-archive-keyring/exegnu-archive-keyring_0.0.1_all.deb

apt-get update
apt-get install eudev (seems to install the libraries)
apt-get -t experimental install udev (honest)

It will rebuild the initrd.

Reboot.

David also put together an experimental live iso of refracta with eudev. I
recently made a live-usb for a friend with this iso when her hard drive
died, and she used it for a few weeks without any complaints.
