modules are now only handled with /sys/modules and modules.dep
[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.

7 INITRAMFS TODO
8
9 - fix btrfs subvolume mounting for /usr (fsck)
10 - generate systemd unit dracut-initramfs-restore in /run/systemd dynamically
11 - put "root=" parsing hooks in separate hook dir
12 - call "root=" parsing hooks after getting new rootpath from dhcp
13 - put mount hook in main initqueue loop
14 - the hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of lame.
15 - automatic kexec fallback
16 - panic fallback
17
18 GENERATOR TODO
19
20 - add interpreter/plugin-scripts to be sourced at the beginning or end (can use dracut-functions)
21 - provide "installkernel" and "new-kernel-pkg"
22 - add mechanism for module specific command line options
23 - pkg-config integration, to make it easy for other packages to use us.
24 - add recovery image creator (mkrecovery)
25 - default module specification could use some work
26 - udev rule copying, as mentioned above, is a bit too hard-coded
27
28 CODE TODO
29
30 - document more functions
31 - make function vars local, and prefix with "_"
32
33 Future Enhancement Requests
34
35 - run ssh server to enter crypto password or perform debugging (supported by debian)
