I have been using eudev on a mixed Debian Wheezy and Devuan packages for
more than a year.

I am not a software developer. But due to my frustrations of not finding
Debian based eudev package, I forced myself to maintain it on
https://github.com/anto/eudev based on the work of Jaret Cantu on
https://git.devuan.org/jaretcantu/eudev. I have been trying to maintain
it as close as possible to the one maintained by Gentoo. But I have not
got the time to update it for almost a year now, so it is 28 commits
behind Gentoo eudev. I think I will do that in this long holidays.

I am using it on my two laptops, one Xen based VPS and one KVM based
VPS. I have not got any issues so far. But I do not claim it to be
perfect and free of errors. Perhaps it only works on the setup that I
have. So please use it at your own risk.

Cheers,
