+order. We will gladly accept patches for any of these items:
-greg k-h
-greg@kroah.com
+- Completely replace the built-in wait_for_sysfs stuff in udev_sysfs.c
+ by rules using the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.
+- Log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
+ to syslog, so any error logged from the kernel can be associated with
+ any of the links at that time.
+
+- remove klibc tree and make it an external dependency
-- more documentation (can never have too much.)
-- have udevd move up to the "default" priority level if it is started by
- keventd (otherwise it runs at a _very_ low priority level.) Don't
- know if this is necessary, but it would be nice to do.
-- 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...)
-- 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...
