libera/#eudev/ Tuesday, 2023-05-30

lechnerHi, I use Eudev as part of Guix and am working on the package there. We refer to your wiki in a few places in our documentation. Is the Wiki still hosted by Gentoo, or should I reference the Github page there, as well? Thanks!       https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Eudev00:55
bb|hcblechner: Please use the GH page, I doubt that the wiki will get any updates00:59
lechnerbb|hcb / actually, it's only once in English but it gets translated a zillion times. like this?     https://paste.debian.net/1281443/01:13
genr8eoflthe gentoo contact person is active if you need anything03:14
genr8eoflunfortunately the project page isnt all that useful, but the help page is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eudev03:15
bb|hcbgenr8eofl: If you think that is helpful, we can link to the wiki from GH readme?15:37
genr8eoflyeah I think it would be better that way. simplest way16:10
genr8eoflanother idea is improving the gentoo project page to include the gentoo wiki link. but its permission locked16:13
genr8eoflI can also edit the help wiki to make it more generally applicable to non-gentoo users of the project16:15
genr8eoflI found this blurb abstract of the project description hiding on an old GSoC page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/Ideas/Eudev16:17
genr8eofl"Eudev is a standalone dynamic and persistent device naming support (aka userspace devfs) daemon that runs independently from the init system. Eudev strives to remain init system and linux distribution neutral. It is currently used as the devfs manager for more than a dozen different linux distros. "16:17
genr8eofli like that wording16:18
genr8eoflIMO it makes sense to improve the github README with that short blurb16:20
genr8eoflto explain more on that its distro agnostic,  even if people keep pointing to gentoo wiki or mentioning gentoo16:22
bb|hcbI like that text, thanks!18:11
bb|hcb... and pushed that with small visual/wording changes18:18
