Udev Udev is part of the systemd-&systemd-version; package. Use the systemd-&systemd-version;.tar.xz file as the source tarball. Remove two unneeded groups, render and sgx, from the default udev rules: sed -i -e 's/GROUP="render"/GROUP="video"/' \ -e 's/GROUP="sgx", //' rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.in Remove one udev rule requiring a full Systemd installation: sed '/systemd-sysctl/s/^/#/' -i rules.d/99-systemd.rules.in Prepare Udev for compilation: mkdir -p build cd build meson setup \ --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -Dmode=release \ -Ddev-kvm-mode=0660 \ -Dlink-udev-shared=false \ .. --buildtype=release This switch overrides the default buildtype (debug), which produces unoptimized binaries. -Dmode=release Disable some features considered experimental by upstream. -Ddev-kvm-mode=0660 The default udev rule would allow all users to access /dev/kvm. The editors consider it dangerous. This option overrides it. -Dlink-udev-shared=false This option prevents udev from linking to the internal systemd shared library, libsystemd-shared. This library is designed to be shared by many Systemd components and it's too overkill for a udev-only installation. Only build the components needed for udev: ninja udevadm systemd-hwdb \ $(grep -o -E "^build (src/libudev|src/udev|rules.d|hwdb.d)[^:]*" \ build.ninja | awk '{ print $2 }') \ $(realpath libudev.so --relative-to .)

Udev needs that information to be compiled into a binary database /etc/udev/hwdb.bin. Create the initial database: udev-hwdb update This command needs to be run each time the hardware information is updated.
