    <title>Introduction to Udev Extras</title>

    <para><application>Eudev</application> was indeed installed in LFS and
    there is no reason to reinstall it unless the user is going to install a
    package such as <application>UPower</application> that needs libgudev.
    These instructions enable building libgudev and also optionally create gir
    data for <application>Eudev</application>.  </para>

    <para>Unlike other packages in BLFS, there is no set version of
    <application>Eudev</application> in this page's title and no set version
    specified for download. Version updates to <application>Eudev</application>
    makes it possible that the user's system may have an
    <application>Eudev</application> version different from the one in the
    current LFS book. Therefore, users should use the version of
    <application>Eudev</application> their computer currently uses. With few
    exceptions, the BLFS team has no experience updating (or reverting to an
    older version) the <application>Eudev</application> package <quote>on the
    fly</quote>.</para>

    <caution>
      <para>
         If you are using a version of BLFS different from your currently
         installed base LFS system, you should use the Eudev source from your
         LFS build.  Newer versions of Eudev may occasionally be incompatible
         with former ones, either because they require some new options to be
         enabled in the kernel or because they change the way rules are parsed.
         For in-system updates to Eudev, you may want to consult <ulink
         url="http:wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev/upgrade">the Gentoo page</ulink>
         about upgrading Udev.
