These things would be nice to have:
- o 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
+ o get all distros to agree on a default set of rules
+ o rework rules to a match-action list, instead of a rules array
These things will change in future udev versions:
- o make DRIVER== to match only the event device
- (DRIVERS must be used, we currently translate it to DRIVERS and print
- a warning if DRIVER is used)
- o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
- (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
+These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future udev version:
+ o DEVTYPE for disks is set by the kernel, remove it from the rules
+ o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names
- o warn if "device/" is used in a ATTR{}, ATTRS{}, $attr{} key
- (the device link must not be used in rules or tools, udev resolves
- the link and makes the devices available as parents, which can
- be matched with the normal keys)
-
- o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
- (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
-
-These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
-udev version:
- o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
- (-e exports everything)
-
- o remove udevstart
- (we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer
- want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it)
-
- o remove extra for /etc/dev.d/ /etc/hotplug.d/
- (that inefficient stuff should finally go away)
