Ciao Jaromil,

Thanks a lot for the offer.However, no offence but wouldn't it be better
if we focused on the resources for the development of vdev?

I am using eudev as that is the most viable alternative for me until
now. But I am afraid at one point, it would be hard to extract some
features from systemd-udev for eudev due to format differences or what
ever would that be. So I am afraid later on eudev will not be able to
manage new devices.

I think vdev is still the best alternative. I was quite pessimistic on
the progress of vdev development after Jude mentioned that he hasno
spare time anymore to work on it. But looking at the most recent
activities onhttps://git.devuan.org/unsystemd/vdev/activity, it looks
like it is gaining momentum again.So I am looking forward to test the
Devuan package of vdev.

Cheers,

Anto
