This is a short list of things that needs to be done. They are in no specific order. I will gladly accept patches for any of these items, or any other stuff people offer up. greg k-h greg@kroah.com - 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...
