-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
+ - detect uevent loops !!!
-These things will change in future udev versions:
- o remove /sys prefix from symlinks in /dev/.udev/{queue,failed}
- (broken tools search /dev for files and get lost following to /sys
- and stat() sysfs files million times)
+ - udev_enumerate_add_match_subsystem(enum, "input");
+ udev_enumerate_add_match_sysname(enum, "event*");
+ udev_enumerate_add_match_children(input_dev);
+ udev_enumerate_scan_devices(enum);
- o make DRIVER== to match only the event device
- (DRIVERS must be used, we currently translate it to DRIVERS and print
- an error if DRIVER is used)
+ - monitor: use clock MONOTONIC
- o switch to fnmatch() instead of our own implementation
+ - libudev: return proper errno or set errno
- o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
- (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
+ - move ctrl.c from libudev/ to udev/
- o warn if "/device/" is used in a ATTR, ATTRS, $sysfs 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)
+ - move:
+ udevd -> --libexecdir
+ udevadm -> --bindir
- o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
- (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
+ - delete mobile-action-modeswitch
+ (moved to usb_modeswitch)
-These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
-udev version:
- o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
- (-e exports everything)
+ - /run/udev/control socket
+ (add ConditionVirtualization=!pidns)
- 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)
+ - kill rules_generator:
+ - no longer rename netifs in kernel namespace
+ - drop persistent optical names
+ - do not create rules on-the-fly, require explicit configuration
+ for netifs and optical drives
+ - properly document what system management needs to put
+ into rules files
- o remove extra for /etc/dev.d/ /etc/hotplug.d/
- (that inefficient stuff should finally go away)
+ - kill tabs?
+
+ - remove deprecated trigger --type=failed logic
+
+ - remove deprecated BUS=, SYSFS{}=, ID= keys
