1 These things would be nice to have:
2 o log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
3 to syslog, so any error logged from the kernel can be associated with
4 any of the links at that time
6 These things will change in future udev versions:
7 o remove /sys prefix from symlinks in /dev/.udev/{queue,failed}
8 (broken tools search /dev for files and get lost following to /sys
9 and stat() sysfs files million times)
11 o make DRIVER== to match only the event device
12 (DRIVERS must be used, we currently translate it to DRIVERS and print
13 an error if DRIVER is used)
15 o switch to fnmatch() instead of our own implementation
17 o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
18 (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
20 o warn if "/device/" is used in a ATTR, ATTRS, $sysfs key
21 (the device link must not be used in rules or tools, udev resolves
22 the link and makes the devices available as parents, which can
23 be matched with the normal keys)
25 o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
26 (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
28 These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
30 o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
31 (-e exports everything)
34 (we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer
35 want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it)
37 o remove extra for /etc/dev.d/ /etc/hotplug.d/
38 (that inefficient stuff should finally go away)
