The provided udev rules automatically start the service when a compatible device is detected, and attempt to stop it when all devices are unplugged. There are no reports of this working on Alpine; this automagically started service does not seem to work properly. Specifically, it won't allow interacting with iOS devices, which it the sole purpose of this package. Starting the service manually (or via OpenRC) does work. When this rule is present, the two instances seem to race each other, and the manually started usbmuxd only works _sometimes_. A manually started instance works every time with the udev rule is not present. Split the udev rule into a sub-package, allowing those who want to experiment using it to opt-in, while getting it out of the way for the typical use case. --- Footnote: I actually run usbmuxd building the latest master from source, since the latest stable release isn't compatible with devices from the last several years. Other tools pull usbmuxd as a dependency, and the rule interferes even in that case.
