19 | ----- | |
20 | - read cpuid and uname information from file if --sysroot is specified, then | |
21 | we can prepare regression tests completely independent on hw and architecture. | |

23 | lsblk |
24 | ----- | |
25 | - currently it does not show mountpoint for all devices in btrfs RAID. It's because | |
26 | /proc/#/mountinfo contains reference to the one device only. Maybe we can add some | |
27 | btrfs specific code to provide a better output for FS based stacks. Not sure. | |

cfb9934d | 35 | hwclock |
35bc7a2b KZ |
36 | ------ |
37 | - use /var/lib/hwclock/drift to store hw-clock drift numbers. | |
38 | - use /etc/adjtime as read-only for UTC/LOCAL information only | |
39 | - the /var/lib/hwclock/drift should be implemented backwardly compatible, | |
2bb3aa36 | 40 | it means use the file only if exists, otherwise follow /etc/adjtime |

42 | bash completion |
43 | --------------- | |
20a51056 | 44 | - Optional argument handling requires user to press backspace to get |
58c41e15 | 45 | argument completion. |
20a51056 SK |
46 | - Comma separated value, e.g., --output 'value1,value2', are not |
47 | completed for users. | |

49 | libmount (mount/umount) |
50 | ----------------------- | |

25629819 KZ |
52 | - add --onlyonce to force mount(8) to check if mountpoint is already used. Now |
53 | "already mounted" detection is used for --all only. The problem is if you | |
54 | call "mount <mountpoint>" more than once for in fstab defined tmpfs (or network | |
55 | filesystem etc.). In this case kernel does not return EBUSY, but a new instance | |
56 | of the FS is created. https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/448 | |
7c79c341 | 57 | (... just idea, maybe wrong idea) |

59 | - support CAP_SYS_ADMIN; for mount(2) syscall the CAP_SYS_ADMIN is good |
60 | enough. Unfortunately, mount(8) does more things like check for filesystem | |
61 | type (but it's usually done by udev, so root perms are unnecessary), create | |
62 | loop devices, write to /run/mount/utab or /etc/mtab, etc. | |
63 | ||
64 | It would be nice to improve libmount to check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN if suid not | |
65 | set and allow to use it for simple tasks where no another operation is | |
66 | necessary. | |

74 | getopt |
75 | ------ | |
76 | It would be great if getopt could optionally ignore unknown options. | |
77 | Currently, it outputs -- for every option it doesn't recognize but leaving the | |
78 | option as it is could beneficial wrapper scripts which could then pass the | |
79 | options they don't recognize as they are to the command they are wrapping. | |

84 | ||
85 | - (!) use something better than gtk-doc for libmount and libblkid (doxyden?) | |
86 | ||
87 | - (!) add API documentation to libuuid | |

90 | login-utils: |
91 | ----------- | |

b75b23b4 KZ |
93 | - consolidate newgrp(1) |
94 | * we have "su --group/--supp-group" to switch between groups, newgrp(1) in | |
95 | util-linux and shadow-utils (and sg(1) alias in shadow-utils) | |
96 | * the unique functionality provided by newgpr(1) is support for group | |
97 | passwords [/etc/gshadow] -- do we really need this functionality? | |
98 | * maybe we can mark group-passwords as deprecated, and replace sg(1) and | |
73afd3f8 | 99 | newgpr(1) with su(1) code. The another way is to ask for group password in |
b75b23b4 KZ |
100 | su --group too. |
101 | * note that shadow-utils newgpr(1) provides support for syslog and audit log. | |

116 | - add support for Apple Partition Map (see libblkid/src/partitions/mac.c) |
117 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Partition_Map | |
118 | ||
7b41ae5b KZ |
119 | - add support for nested PT (e.g. hybrid MBR) to scripts |
120 | * add "nested-label:" block to sfdisk --dump | |
121 | * add "nested-partitiontable" to sfdisk --JSON | |
122 | * support nested labels parsing from dump | |
123 | see https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/850 | |

126 | ------ | |

b1883029 | 142 | - add SELinux security contexts support to the 'ipcs' utility |
8da18ddb KZ |
143 | http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225342 |
144 | ||
145 | Would be great to list the current system IPC Objects with their respective | |
146 | security labels (where allowed) with something like 'ipcs -Z' - following the | |
147 | way other tools reports those. | |
