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 would be nice to have: + o get all distros to agree on a default set of rules + o rework rules to a match-action list, instead of a rules array -greg k-h -greg@kroah.com +These things will change in future udev versions: + o --device-id-of-file will print '5:8' instead of '5 8' - -- 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. -- do early boot logic (putting udev into initramfs, handle pivot-root, - etc.) -- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed -- lots of other stuff... +These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future udev version: + o DEVTYPE for disks is set by the kernel, remove it from the rules
