- TODO List
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Before (next) release:
+ - Port to libatasmart
- - SMART
- - Need a way to stop polling for SMART data to avoid
- breaking boxes with thousands of disks
- - maybe default to polling if there's less than, say, 50 drives
- - Delete all SMART data older than N days
- - polling every 30 min is roughly 50kb / drive / day
- - Probably needs config file for this
+ - Port to PolicyKit 1.0
- - Poll storage devices
-
- - Need to figure out what PolicyKit authorizations to use
- - it's really a big mess right now
+ - Port to EggDBus
- Split out Linux specific bits into separate files
- Finish up Linux MD Software RAID support
- Major thing missing right now is creating an array
- - Finish D-Bus documentation framework
- - and have Jon McCann review it (it's based on his work from
- ConsoleKit)
-
- General project management tasks
- review licenses, NEWS, TODO, HACKING etc. file
- Document what udev properties we rely on
