-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- better partition support (it's a hack right now, maybe new libsysfs changes
- can help out a lot here.)
-- option to always add all partitions. This is needed to properly handle
- devices with removable media.
-- install the proper init.d script based on the distro we are running on.
-- persuade the distro packagers to submit their changes (or just steal them
- if we can find them...)
-- allow database to be queried by other programs
-- split program into two pieces (daemon and helper that sends events to it).
- This will allow us to keep track of sequences, and lots of other needed
- stuff.
-- keep track of current permissions on devices when daemon shuts down.
-- better permission handling
-- create kernel name to devfs name config file so that all of the devfs users
- will have an upgrade path.
-- do early boot logic (putting udev into initramfs, handle pivot-root,
- etc.)
-- lots of other stuff...
+ o convert firmware.sh to C
+ o get rid of "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface
+ if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely and add a simple
+ wrapper around the Linux usb ioctls we need
+ o drop all support for the DEPRECATED sysfs layout
+ o remove deprecated BUS=, SYSFS{}=, ID= keys
