 Hi Richard,

 Welcome Back!  It's been a long time.

 If you are building LFS-7.5, the hint should be ok.  I've been
using eudev in almost all of my builds since February last year (I
used Bruce's udev-from-systemd a couple of times on builds to test
things in BLFS which I normally don't build, once each for BLFS-7.4
and 7.5, and once when I was testing the effects of using make-4.0).
For me [ single wired ethernet connection, no wifi ] it works well.

 I fix the nic naming back to eth0 with:
echo "# dummy, so that network is once again on eth0" \
 >/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
(I don't recall if that is in the hint).

 For recent LFS-svn, with the 20140404 bootscripts, the following
symlinks work for me without changing any of the details of the eudev
configure (the sysv-systemd changes mean that udevd has its systemd
name and location, and LFS's udevadm is in /sbin instead of /bin, so
the udev parts of the bootscripts look for the new name/locations) :

 mkdir -pv /lib/systemd
 ln -sfv /sbin/udevd /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
 ln -sfv /sbin/udevadm /bin
(as always, I use -f in case the install breaks and I have to repeat
it).

 On desktops, to build gudev repeat eudev after all the deps are in
place, omitting --disable-gudev [ and --disable-introspection if you
build anything in gnome which needs that : I only build gucharmap
and evince, as of 3.10 they don't require introspection; and omit
--disable-keymap if you need it ].

 Regards,
