I have updated the images of gnuinos daedalus including vdev-1.3.30:

https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/daedalus/

This version of vdev is able to push device events to listening processes via linux netlink in the same way as eudev. As
explained in dev1galaxy, it means that the use of the eventfs filesystem that provides an infrastructure for containers
as well as for BSD systems -not implemented yet (netlink is linux specific)- is optional from now on. This is possible
thanks to the current dual behavior of libudev-compat: it'll send udev devices through netlink or as a serialized device
events to the eventfs filesystem depending on whether the eventfs filesystem is mounted at /dev/metadata/udev/events/serial.
On the other hand, this duality provides an easier way to change from eudev and vdev and vice versa:

# apt-get install (vdev|eudev)

without the need of changing from libeudev to libudev-compat just because eudev will work with the latter as well. Moreover,
this holds true the other way around, that is to say that vdev running with linux netlink will work with libeudev in place of
libudev-compat as well.

Finally, according to my tests in several computers (always with runit), the boot process with vdev-1.3.30 is slightly faster
in comparison with eudev more often than not. At least with linux netlink, which is asynchronous.

Cheers,

Aitor.
