Hi,
To all udev users: If you have upgraded today or yesterday, please
apk upgrade -a again and make sure that you no longer have udev-180. It
will kill your box... sorry.
I pushed udev-180 upgrade, did a reboot and everything seemed ok.
Today I realized that the upgrade I did was on my main workstation and
not the laptop and I discovered that my workstation was completely
broken.
So I digged around and figured out that they yet again have moved
around things and that they now require devtmpfs support in kernel.
This means I was forced to revert the udev-180 upgrade.
Things like this could have been avoided if they had a proper home page
with proper news that you could read before downloading the tarball.
(the only way they communicate this things is in NEWS file within the
tarball)
I don't think it is good that udev has such a monopoly situation where
they try to push systemd down the throat on everyone. Unfortunally, if
you want a desktop system with working hotplugging, you do not have any
options.
again. sorry for the inconvenience

It might be good to drop a line to this people explaining the
situation, so we can avoid this in future versions.

I doubt they care. I should have read the NEWS file before pushing
anything.
