-* **Orphan the mountee after starting it** *(10 Jul)* Orphaning the
- mountee after starting it up seems to be a nice work-around for the
- necessity of keeping a proxy node in unionmount in simple
- use-cases. It is possible that this functionality will provided as a
- separate patch (without inclusion in master) should it turn out that
- orphaning the mountee is a bad idea.
+* **Decide which RPCs should be forwarded to the mountee and how this
+ should happen** *(10 Jul)* This is the primary requirement in being
+ able to proxy the control port of `unionmount`.
* **Proxy the control port of `unionmount`** *(10 Jul)* It was agreed
that `unionmount` be completely transparent, therefore a number of
RPCs on the control port should be forwarded to the mountee.
-* **Read the relevant code of `devnode`, `eth-multiplexer`, and
- `pfinet`.** *(14 Jul)* At the moment a part of `devnode`
- functionality appears in `eth-multiplexer` and (probably) because of
- this, `devnode` cannot use `eth-multiplexer`'s pseudo master device
- port. I'll have to figure out why it happens like that.
+* **Try to make `eth-multiplexer` work with statically set instances
+ of `devnode`** *(14 Jul)* At the moment statically set `devnode`
+ translators fail to run when they try to obtain the pseudo master
+ device ports from the `eth-multiplexer`.
* **Implement merging rules.** *(25 Jul)* I will have to make the
merging of the virtual filesystem published by `eth-multiplexer` and
