eudev, and building the code.

+Building eudev
+===================
+
+The following instructions provide the steps needed to acquire and build the eudev
+software on the Debian, Devuan, and compatible Linux distributions.
+
+Please note that command examples in this document use the following convention. Commands
+prefixed by a "$" symbol are to be run as a regular, user. Commands with a "#" prefix
+need to be run as the root user. If your user has sudo access then sudo may be
+used instead of logging into the root account.
+
+
+1. Installing dependencies
+============================
+
+The first thing we need to do is install the dependencies required to build eudev. 
+This can be accomplished by running the following two commands:
+
+# apt-get update
+
+# apt-get install build-essential pkg-config docbook-xsl\
+          docbook-xml m4 automake autoconf intltool gperf\
+          gnu-efi libcap-dev libselinux1-dev libacl1-dev\
+          libkmod-dev libblkid-dev gobject-introspection\
+          libglib-object-introspection-perl xsltproc 
+
+
+
+2. Downloading the source code
+================================
+
+There are two common approaches to downloading the project's source code. The first
+is to visit the eudev GitHub releases page (https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev/releases)
+and downloading the latest tar.gz archive file. Then unpack the downloaded archive. For
+example, if we downloaded eudev version 3.2.10 we could unpack the archive using the
+following command:
+
+$ tar xf eudev-3.2.10.tar.gz
+
+
+Alternatively, we can download the latest source code by using git. This is probably the
+better option for developers. Here we install the git source control program and
+use it to download the latest eudev source code:
+
+# apt-get install git
+
+$ git clone https://github.com/eudev-project/eudev.git
+
+
+3. Configuring and building eudev
+==================================
+
+To build the eudev source code, run the following commands:
+
+$ cd eudev
+
+$ ./autogen.sh
+
+$ ./configure
+
+Please note that, by default, the configure script will assume we want to place
+eudev under the /usr directory. If this is not accurate, we can supply an alternative
+location using the "--prefix" flag. For instance, to place eudev under the /usr/local
+directory tree, run the following:
+
+$ ./configure --prefix /usr/local
+
+Once eudev has been configured we can then perform the build.
+
+$ make
+
+
+4. Install eudev
+=================
+
+Please note that, in most situations, people will not wish to install eudev manually.
+This work is typically performed by your distribution's package manager. Installing
+eudev manually can break your operating system.
+
+If you really wish to proceed and install eudev manually, you can do so by running:
+
+# make install
+
+
+5. Removing eudev
+==================
+
+Please note that removing eudev can damage your system.
+
+If you wish to remove eudev from yoru system you can do so by running the
+following command:
+
+# make uninstall

+
+BACKGROUND INFORMATION
+
+This git repo is a fork of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd
+with the aim of isolating udev from any particular flavor of system
+initialization.  In this case, the isolation is from systemd.
+
+This is a project started by Gentoo developers and testing is currently being
+done mostly on OpenRC.  We welcome contribution from others using a variety of
+system initializations to ensure eudev remains system initialization and
+distribution neutral.

+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gentoo/eudev.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gentoo/eudev)ADOPTION NOTICE (2021-09-14)
+
+Currently eudev is in the process of being adopted by a newly formed project by Alpine, Devuan and Gentoo contributors (a-z order). Some of the below links and/or contacts may be outdated until the process is complete and all the infra set up.
+
+As of now we are hanging on [Libera.Chat](https://libera.chat/):

+==========
+
+IMPORTANT DEPRECATION NOTICE (2021-08-20)
+
+Currently eudev is no longer being supported.  Eudev was started, in
+part because systemd did not build on musl-libc systems and a fork
+of the udev portion of systemd was required.  Currently systemd can
+be built on musl systems with patches from the openembedded team, and
+the need to maintain a separate fork is no longer pressing.
+
+Nonetheless, many distros have adopted eudev as their device manager
+and so may want to continue using it.  Anyone interested in inheriting
+the repo may contact me at blueness@gentoo.org.
