network-manager: remove useless use of basename
[thirdparty/dracut.git] / TODO
1 Current TODO list, broken into things which are relevant for the
2 initramfs itself (/init et al) vs the generator.
3 A lot of things are/should be marked with "FIXME" in the code.
4
5 Items are ordered in priority.
6
7 INITRAMFS TODO
8
9 - search domain string
10 - allow dual stack configuration (IPv4, IPv6) for the same interface
11 - "bind-mount" kernel drivers in real root for the rescue image,
12 if the real root does not have any kernel modules for this kernel
13 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046510
14 - use info and warn prefix
15 - generate systemd unit dracut-initramfs-restore in /run/systemd dynamically
16 - put "root=" parsing hooks in separate hook dir
17 - call "root=" parsing hooks after getting new rootpath from dhcp
18 - put mount hook in main initqueue loop / careful about resume!
19 - the hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of lame.
20 - panic fallback
21 - progress indication for fsck https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827118
22 - domain, searchdomain https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840778
23 - probably fix "--include" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849338

25 GENERATOR TODO
26
27 - report errors on missing files in check()
28 - remove wait for swap devs, if no "resume=" is given on the kernel command line
29 - remove wait for swap devs, if the "resume" dracut module is not included (omitted)
30 - add presets (predefined set of modules)
31 - add interpreter/plugin-scripts to be sourced at the beginning or end (can use dracut-functions)
32 - add mechanism for module specific command line options
33 - pkg-config integration, to make it easy for other packages to use us.
34 - default module specification could use some work
35 - udev rule copying, as mentioned above, is a bit too hard-coded
36
37 - dracut-install parse LD_SHOW_AUXV="" AT_PLATFORM for lib install
38
39 CODE TODO
40
41 - document more functions
42 - make function vars local, and prefix with "_"
43
44 Future Enhancement Requests
45
46 - run ssh server to enter crypto password or perform debugging (supported by debian)
47 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524727 - dracut + encrypted root + networking
48
49 - lsinitrd --print-cmdline
50 - dracut --print-cmdline error if additional arguments
51 - library for cmdline
