TODO

   1 Current TODO list, broken into things which are relevant for the
   2 initramfs itself (/init et al) vs the generator.  A lot of things
   3 are/should be marked with "FIXME" in the code
   4
   5 INITRAMFS TODO
   6 --------------
   7 * Currently, our switch_root command uses nash's switchroot.  Getting
   8 a reasonable switchroot implementation into util-linux-ng is a
   9 pre-condition for support on other distros.  pjones has a basic
  10 implementation at
  11 http://pjones.fedorapeople.org/mkstart/usr/lib/mkstart/switchroot.c
  12 and I've asked kzak about util-linux inclusion
  13 * The hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of
  14 lame.  See about getting /lib/udev/initrules.d or similar for storing
  15 the rules that we care about in the initramfs.  These could be
  16 symlinks/hardlinks to the main rules in some cases or special-cased
  17 ones
  18 * LVM activation by udev is a bit of a large hammer right now
  19 * root= parsing should be done with udev creating /dev/root symlink
  20 for us appropriately
  21 * Proving some support with a simple network based root would be good
  22   * Do we just call dhclient, etc or try to get NetworkManager going?
  23 * Would be nice not to have to kill and restart udev across switchroot
  24 * mdraid
  25 * dmraid
  26 * multipath
  27 * Should SELinux policy be done in the initramfs or from the real
  28 rootfs?
  29 * Keyboard layout/consolefont setup is Fedora/RHEL-specific.

  32 GENERATOR TODO
  33 --------------
  34 * Default module specificatoin could use some work
  35 * udev rule copying, as mentioned above, is a bit too hard-coded
  36 * pkg-config integration, to make it easy for other packages to use us.
  37 * Autotool-izing the package is probably overkill, but making the Makefile
  38   vaguely autotools-compatible and adding a configure script would probably
  39   be a good thing.
