Thanks a lot! Definitely nice to see someone interested in systemd
support upgrading this package.

However, how do you handle the fact that systemd now includes udev,
while Buildroot still has a separate udev package?

As of systemd 44 that we have in Buildroot, udev was not part of
systemd, and therefore Buildroot packaged both udev and systemd
separately, and systemd depended on the selected /dev management
method being "devtmpfs + udev".

However, now that udev is part of systemd, some of this needs to
change. What is your plan regarding that?

May I suggest you to go through the thread at
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2013-March/068130.html,
which contains a large discussion about systemd/udev that started the
last time a contributor posted an updated to the systemd package.

Thanks again!

Thomas
