He guys,

I've been at work for a week or so and today I looked at the DNG list
for the latest activities around vdev, but there has almost been no
activity on vdev as far as I can see. OTOH, last week I tested eudev on
a separate partition and that seems to work quite well.

I think it might be a good idea to leave vdev for what it is and
to switch to eudev. It is moreorless maintained (the latest change is
two weeks ago) and it works well. We should not reinvent the wheel IMHO.
And as there has been no response from the original vdev author, I think
it's better to package eudev for Devuan and to make it available for
Jessie and Ascii. The latest version is 3.2.

Any thoughts on this?

R.
