Hi Svante

Eudev being a directly packaged should have a version of <upstream
version>-<build version> and not have an additional +<devuanX.Y> which
is currently only used for our modified rebuilt version of debian
packages. So the correct version should be 3.2.2-9 in this case.

For updates, we can add +<suite version>u<N>, and backports +bpoN, and
security can have +<suite or suiteversion>securityN

In this way we follow the same convention as debian uses, and provide a
clear indicator where we override a debian package.

Of course this is all up for discussion, but I suggest until we can
decide on and document a good reason to break with this convention we
should do so.

    Hi, attached are new patches for eudev: 3.2.2-8+devuan2:

    0001-Rename-package-to-3.2.2-8-devuan2.patch
    0002-debian-changelog-Add-
    info-about-udev-libudev1-and-li.patch

    Since the new version number is lower than the previous 3.2.2-devuan2.7 
    old versions have to be removed in experimental. When this version has
    migrated to ASCII there would be no problems. Of course people who
    already have installed versions 220:... and 3.2.2-devuan2.Y from
    experimental have to downgrade. But I don't see this as a problem,
    those who had installed eudev know what they are doing.

    When this package migrates from experimental to ASCII I propose that we
    increment the version, in this case to 3.2.2-9+devuan2, when built for
    ASCII. This is the procedure used in Debian.

    The patches complete the cleanup in debian/ directory, including
    renaming, removal of upstart and systemd code, fix most lintian errors
    and warnings etc. From the debian/changelog file:
