Udev and systemd to merge

[Development] Posted Apr 3, 2012 16:37 UTC (Tue) by corbet

Kay Sievers has sent out an announcement that the udev and systemd projects will be merging into a single source tree. "Today, ‘Init’ needs to be fully hotplug-capable; udev device management and knowledge about device lifecycles is an integral part of systemd and not an isolated logic. Due to this, and to minimize our administrative workload, as well as to minimize duplication of code, and to resolve cyclic build dependencies in the core OS, we have decided to merge the two projects." What the developers will not do is remove the ability to build and run udev on a system that is not using systemd.
