To Do List for Linkstation/Kuro/Terastation Micro Event daemon
==============================================================
* Config file:
* Only read by micro-evtd.c. Event script is only called by micro-evtd.
* What happens when it is empty? First analysis shows defaults are used.
* How should a sample file be named? micro-evtd.sample?
* How should the real config file be named? /etc/micro-evtd.conf? /etc/micro-evtd?
* Where should a sample file be kept? /etc/defaults/....?
Keep extra /etc/micro-evtd/ folder to store sample file and real config file?
* Shouldn't it be in /usr/local/etc/ ?
* InitRD:
* update for further alpha testing
* "<TMP>/in_standby" comes from /linuxrc of initrd
renamed to "micro-evtd.in_standby", adopt /linuxrc accordingly
* create target to help update an initrd
* Install target:
* RC links
* Simple link ok, sufficient and complete?
ln -s ../init.d/micro-evtd /etc/rcS.d/S70micro-evtd
* On Debian also update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d could be used
if [ -e '/etc/debian_version'] / if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
* man pages
Adopt man db update
if [ -x "`which mandb 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
* Add target to update InitRd if /initrd exists in install path
* Review changes before release (always)
* always refer to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
* run tests on clean stock firmware, Freelink 1.0rev2 and Freelink "Debian Lenny"
check that needed directories are available or created on them
* New features
* Options to disable the sleep functionality and the script copy.
As not all targets/distros have initrd support. (Ryan Tandy)
Provide run-time(!) option to have one executable for all. Manageable? (Maddes)
micro-evtd.conf: SCRIPT_COPY=1; 0 would set a new var strScriptPath to "",
otherwise it contains a copy of strTmpPath;
* Autoconf support. (Ryan Tandy)
Not required anymore as fixed pathes have been eliminated a lot.
But could help distros to adopt to their filesystem scheme. (Maddes)
Done:
=====
+ Versioning
+ Add last committed svn revision to version.h (via Makefile)
- Create correct tgz files for man pages via Makefile and place correctly with "install" target
Not necessary, distributions can also handle this if wanted.
+ SBIN_PREFIX support
to allow installing into /usr/local/sbin (default), /usr/sbin or /sbin
+ daemon script uses fix path /usr/local
micro-evtd.init(34): which ${DAEMON}
+ Makefile can already verify and install with different prefixes
support for /usr/sbin and /sbin enabled
+ event script belongs inside sbin folder, not inside /etc
event script copies itself to tmp folder; use $0 instead of fix path
micro-evtd.event(58): which micro-evtd.event
+ micro-evtd.c references event script too; no path and use PATH search, problems?
micro-evtd.c(607): let path find it
- or add new config item SBIN=/usr/local/sbin to /etc/micro-evtd.conf; very flexible, no recompilation necessary; default?
- use /tmp/micro-evtd/ to place temporary files to avoid collisions with other programs
Linkstations have a ramdisk for /tmp, so sub-folders get lost
And the ramdisk is the reason for the script copy, to avoid permanent disk access and allow the disk to sleep.
+ Analyse and adopt changes from Debian package 3.3.3
- eventscript.patch (debian-specific, not important)
- makefile.patch (debian-specific, not important)
- micro_evtd-default-conf.patch (looks wrong, as there's no /etc/defaults file anymore)
- script-paths.patch (looks wrong, as Linkstations use ramdisk for /tmp, so sub-folders get lost on reboot)
all other patches have been added to repository
+ File name cleanup:
+ general rename from "micro_evtd" (underscore) to "micro-evtd"
+ files in /boot are not renamed to be compatible with old versions of initrd
/boot/pending_standby
+ Uninstall target:
+ should clean up all old stuff (or use additional target "removeold")
