They are in no specific -order. I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff -people offer up. +These things would be nice to have: -greg k-h -greg@kroah.com +These things will change in future udev versions: + o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys + (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now) -- fix kernel name logic to handle devices like sdaj and such. -- more documentation (can never have too much.) -- add symlink generation and removal support -- better partition support (it's a hack right now, maybe new libsysfs changes - can help out a lot here.) -- 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.) -- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed -- lots of other stuff... -- actually use the BUS= value to determine where the LABEL rule should look - (right now it's ignored, and we only look in the current sysfs directory.) - This is needed, for example, to look at the usb device's serial number of a - usb-storage device, instead of the scsi device's sysfs directory for the - serial number. + +These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future +udev version: + 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 man page symlinks for old tool names + + o some day, remove the symlinks to udevadm
