-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
-These things will change in future udev versions:
- o use zero sized files instead of symlinks in /dev/.udev/{queue,failed}
- (broken tools search /dev for files and get lost following to /sys
- and stat() sysfs files million times)
-
- o make DRIVER== to match only the event device
- (DRIVERS must be used, we currently translate it to DRIVERS and print
- a warning if DRIVER is used)
-
- o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
- (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
-
- o warn if "device/" is used in a ATTR{}, ATTRS{}, $attr{} 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)
-
- o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
- (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
-
-These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
-udev version:
- o remove old udevdb dump 'udevinfo -d'
- (-e exports everything)
-
- 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 extra for /etc/dev.d/ /etc/hotplug.d/
- (that inefficient stuff should finally go away)
+ o switch device mapper rules to:
+ dmsetup info -c --nameprefixes --unquoted --rows --noheadings \
+ -o name,uuid,suspended,readonly,major,minor,open,tables_loaded
+ o implement path_id with libudev
+ o convert firmware.sh to C
+ o add DVB variables to kernel (patch merged in v4l tree), drop the
+ shell script rule
+ o "udevadm control" commands will only accept the --<command> syntax
+ o symlink names to udevadm will no longer be resolved to old command names
+ o get distros to agree on a default set of rules
