-These things need to be done, or would be nice to have:
-
- o Log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name
+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.
+ any of the links at that time
+These things will change in future udev versions:
+ 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)
-These things are scheduled for removal sometimes:
+ o warn if PHYSDEV* keys are used in ENV keys
+ (they are deprecated and will be removed from a future kernel)
- o remove broken %e enumeration
- (simple enumerations can't work and should go)
+ 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 remove devfs naming scheme rules and scripts
+ o warn if BUS, ID, SYSFS are used as keys
+ (they are SUBSYSTEMS, KERNELS, ATTRS now)
- o remove MODALIAS + $modalias
- (ENV{MODALIAS}, $env{MODALIAS}, $sysfs{modalias} will do it)
+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, udevsend
+ 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)
