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 need to be done, or would be nice to have: - Greg Kroah-Hartman + 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 udevstart, udevsend + (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) -- more documentation (can never have too much.) -- document the config file format (it will change over time...) -- add proper man page -- add klibc to the build process (or make it easier to do) to get - smaller binary -- import latest libsysfs and convert udev to use it. -- On remove, look up the device in the database (now that we have one) and - delete what was created, not what the kernel is calling the device. -- 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. -- make program work like design says it should (three parts, not 1) -- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed -- lots of other stuff...
