TODO: update
[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 - allow dual stack configuration (IPv4, IPv6) for the same interface
10 - "bind-mount" kernel drivers in real root for the rescue image,
11 if the real root does not have any kernel modules for this kernel
12 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046510
13 - use info and warn prefix
14 - generate systemd unit dracut-initramfs-restore in /run/systemd dynamically
15 - put "root=" parsing hooks in separate hook dir
16 - call "root=" parsing hooks after getting new rootpath from dhcp
17 - put mount hook in main initqueue loop / careful about resume!
18 - the hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of lame.
19 - panic fallback
20 - bridging/bonding without "netroot=" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822750
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 - disable write-ifcfg https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840784
24 - check for /var to be mounted in convertfs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848172
25 - probably fix "--include" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849338
26
27 GENERATOR TODO
28
29 - report errors on missing files in check()
30 - remove wait for swap devs, if no "resume=" is given on the kernel command line
31 - add presets (predefined set of modules)
32 - add interpreter/plugin-scripts to be sourced at the beginning or end (can use dracut-functions)
33 - add mechanism for module specific command line options
34 - pkg-config integration, to make it easy for other packages to use us.
35 - default module specification could use some work
36 - udev rule copying, as mentioned above, is a bit too hard-coded
37
38 - dracut-install parse LD_SHOW_AUXV="" AT_PLATFORM for lib install
39
40 CODE TODO
41
42 - document more functions
43 - make function vars local, and prefix with "_"
44
45 Future Enhancement Requests
46
47 - run ssh server to enter crypto password or perform debugging (supported by debian)
48 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524727 - dracut + encrypted root + networking
