pacman/TODO.aaron

== This is my custom TODO file ==

* Make sure all the alpm_list_t changes are valid (especially alpm_list_free)

* src/pacman:
    - There's quite a few single function headers which contain the pacman_*
      functions.  We should move these to a single header (pacman.h) to clean up
      the source a bit.

* lib/libalpm:
    - move logging (alpm_logaction) out of the library.  log files should be
      written by the app, not the library.  Adding a PM_LOG_* constant that
      frontends can recognize and send to a file is probably a good idea.
    - clear up list allocation/deallocation - some lists need to be free'd, some
      do not and there is no clear indication WHEN this should happen.
    - remove DB entries (directories) on a read error?

* pacman: A LOT of functions are way too long.  There should be an upper limit of
  100-200 lines.  _alpm_add_commit is around 600 lines, and is far too complex.

  Quite a lot of this needs to be refactored as we go.
    Function list (from Dan McGee):
     add.c:
     _alpm_add_commit
     be_files.c:
     _alpm_db_read
     _alpm_db_write
     conflict.c:
     _alpm_checkconflicts
     _alpm_db_find_conflicts
     package.c:
     _alpm_pkg_load (getting a bit long)
     remove.c:
     _alpm_remove_commit
     server.c:
     _alpm_downloadfiles_forreal
     sync.c:
     _alpm_sync_sysupgrade (getting there)
     _alpm_sync_prepare
     _alpm_sync_commit

* pacman: fixup doxygen documentation for public interface

**** BUGS ****
* Removal of conflicts on -A and -U (INCOMPLETE)
* gensync: get all info from packages instead of PKGBUILDs
  for now, we only need to check the PKGBUILD in case of a
  'force' option
* pacman: add pactest cases/functionality for all -Q operations and make sure
  the output is sane
