I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff +people offer up. + + Greg Kroah-Hartman + + +- 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 -- document the config file format (it will change over time...) -- persistant naming database backend +- 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. - make program work like design says it should (three parts, not 1) - add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed - lots of other stuff...
