I've already supplied an eudev version renaming libudev* to libeudev* but
it was rejected by parazyd. I'ts just a matter to revert to that version.
Currently I'm afk so that patch has to wait until next week, if I would do
that. But I think that version can easily be retreived by parazyd, if he
is willing to do that. (And if the renaming is a decision we all agree upon)

Interesting. I don't see the contention point, but I do see the advantage
of having a different name from the package shipped with udev. Perhaps a
different new name? libudev-eudev? I'm happy enough with libeudev (although
it takes a bit of squinting to see that it's a different name than libudev)
Or anything else other than libudev, which in my mind is already taken.

Ralph.
