Since udev is the standard (and only?) hotplugging daemon nowdays, I was thinking to maybe replace mdev with udev. But I'm not so sure anymore: udev-161-r1 installed size: 1212416 Its way too big compared what it provides so it seems like we need to maintain bot udev and mdev rules. udev is available in edge/testing and already now I noticed that the touchpad works better. For X.org udev will be a big improvement. -- Natanael Copa --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
