Hi all,

I uploaded some images of gnuinos chimaera including vdev as default
device manager.

I would like you to test them after a hard disk installation because
this is the
first time one can replace eudev with vdev via APT by simply typing:

# apt-get install vdev libudev1-compat

beyond which it's possible to restore eudev in a similar way:

# apt-get install eudev libeudev1

Though eudev and vdev depend on libeudev1 and libudev1-compat
respectively, it's
recommended to mention them explicitly in order to prevent other
packages like Xorg
from being uninstalled during the change.

It's worth mentioning that you won't find any external devices in the
panel of thunar
because some benefits of gvfs/udisks2 don't work with vdev.Hopefully the
trash is still there.
With this in mind, I included fsmithred's usbpmount.sh and
usb-unmount.sh yad scripts to
handle usb sticks, pending the arrival of an improved release of hopman
in chimaera.

I also uploaded the sources of the live-sdk that generate the available
iso images.

Cheers,

Aitor
