Libdevq was written initallity to tackle the problem with the implementation of Mesa, as Mesa depends on udev libraries for some features which are only found on GNU/Linux systems.

This project aims to rethink and redesign libdevq. With greater portability and better APIs, and if possible, to make devlibq a viable subsititude for libudev on *BSD systems.

(Details as to how you intend to approach the problem, if applicable. May include ideas as to how to break the problem down into smaller parts, or notes on research you need to do before settling on your final approach to solving the problem)

• Redesign of libdevq with initial testsuite
• Fully fuctional version of new libdevq with documentations.
• Provides additional userspace APIs and functionalities.

(5-10 milestones, with dates, indicating when you hope or expect to be able to complete features. This section is mandatory. Please negotiate these with your mentor to make sure you're not under- or over-estimating the amount of work to be done. Please also make sure the following four dates are included within your milestones)

• May 25: Start of coding
• June 26-July 3: Mid-term Evaluations
• August 17: End of coding (soft)
• August 21 19:00 UTC: End of coding (hard)

(List of steps you plan to use to test your work, as discussed with your mentor)
