+## Modification to *eudev* source code
I started with source code version 3.2.5-1 from the latest Devuan. The

packages in Jessie (as it is what I am using). To ensure that, the new
packages will provide the old names.

+My modifications were aimed at reducing the number of dependencies of the packages
and to correct the Devuanisms present in the installation/removal scripts.
For your convenience, all of the source files and the .deb packages
[[eudev_3.2.5-1bu1_i386.deb]]

If you have installed the needed development packages, it's easy to
rebuild files "libeudev1_3.2.5-1bu1_i386.deb" and
"eudev_3.2.5-1bu1_i386.deb" with these simple commands:
Notice that .udev packages and a development package of libeudev1 are also

To install the two packages, you will need some local package repository. An easy
