Eudev and elogind

Hi,

I noticed that eudev and elogind are not in the AUR or packages, or at least I cannot find them.
Is there a specific policy against this, or would it be ok if I/someone else added them?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_su … submission
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … ?h=elogind and https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … LD?h=eudev used to exist

The claim for the deletion request was that those are incompatible w/ archlinux (arch-archlinux, not artix etc)?

Re: Eudev and elogind

Theoretically It should be doable to create packages for those and submit them to aur.

They'd have to coexist with every member of base meta-package (that includes systemd) .
Installing them to /opt would prob give the best chance to achieve that.

Don't start writing PKGBUILDs yet though as this will be a massive undertaking.

Start with selecting an alternative PID 1 that is supported on archlinux.
Install it, use it and get to know how it works.
Improve its functionality/ease of use on archlinux.
Try to establish/grow an active group of archlinux users for that PID 1.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
