I'm mentioned this several times now: Get me a spec for what Linux
udev provides, and what services are needed, and I'll make a
compatible implementation on FreeBSD.<br>
<br>
While it is unfortunate that Linux didn't pickup my interface that
mostly pre-dated its implementation, I expect the two are close
enough that it would be easy to do. I've been hampered by not being
able to find anything that approaches a specification for udev in
the Google searches I've done. Mostly I've found rants about how
great udev is, and how horrible all the competition is. While I'm
sure that serves some purpose, it doesn't satisfy my need for a
clear, and easy to follow specification. I'm hesitant to just write
something that matches the Linux code because I don't have any way
of knowing what is supposed to be a documented interface, and what's
supposed to be a private change on a whim interface.<br>
<br>
I'm sure it is just a matter of being unfamiliar with the proper
terms to search for. Any hints in this area would be greatly
appreciated. If something that is "standard," I'd expect to find
good docs somewhere, right?<br>

<br>
as an occasional GNU/kFreeBSD porter, I've been wondering
what's going<br>
to happen with hal going away/being unmaintained. I've been
pointed to<br>
a blog post about Xfce on *BSD [1], where it is mentioned that
devd<br>
might be used as a udev equivalent.<br>

Are there any plans to add devd support to xorg on your side?
I'm<br>
putting the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD users/porters list and the
Xorg devel<br>
list in Cc.<br>
