-This is a short list of things that needs to be done. They are in no specific
-order. We will gladly accept patches for any of these items:
+These things need to be done, or would be nice to have:
-- More documentation:
- Allmost all extras/*_id/ programs don't have a man page
- some details are missing in the udev man pages.
+ 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.
-- Completely replace the built-in wait_for_sysfs stuff in udev_sysfs.c
- by rules using the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key.
-- 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.
+These things are scheduled for removal sometimes:
-- Do generic early boot logic:
- initramfs, pivot-root, cover coldplug or event replay, etc...
+ o remove broken %e enumeration
+ (simple enumerations can't work and should go)
-- Keep the distro rules in etc/ up-to-date.
+ 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)
