I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff -people offer up. +These things need to be done, or would be nice to have: -greg k-h -greg@kroah.com + 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. +These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future +udev version: + + o remove broken %e enumeration + (simple enumerations can't work and should go) + + o remove devfs naming scheme rules and scripts + + o remove MODALIAS + $modalias + (ENV{MODALIAS}, $env{MODALIAS}, $sysfs{modalias} will do it) + + o remove udevsend, udevstart and their man pages + (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) -- 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.
