GLOBAL
======
- ORE tags - are there any left?
- Automake is a PITA. We should switch to just autoconf and hand written
Makefile.in's
LIBALPM
=======
- review public interface. There seems to be a lot of complication
for consuming front ends for no reason. I have some ideas for a "new and
improved" public interface, but it would be a drastic change.
- review errors handling (globalise pm_errno usage, improve error
meanings)
PACMAN
======
- review how things are displayed in the frontend (normal display,
verbose mode, which usage for the library log callback, debug levels, ...)
- review progress / transaction even subsystem

TODO for autoconf/automake:
global
======
- review autoclean.sh script. Maybe there is a more simple way to do this FULL clean.
- Many things :)) If you got idea or request, then implement it.
libalpm and codechanges
=======================
- Add much more defines in configure.in via options or not. Like CACHEDIR, PKGEXT, etc.
Those will be available from config.h so not need a big codechange. But it is usefull.
The user can specify at the configure what cachedir or pkgext he/she want. And maybe better
for other distros (like frugalware :) ) which are using other PKGEXT or cachedir than default.
- Review what needed to be in config.h and what not. Probably many #depends which are now hardcoded
into the sources.

Review display and logging functions. There seems to be an abundance of them.
Make it extensible to use color, review what verbose/debug means. Perhaps
separate logging functionality- Pacman has its normal log, and alpm backend
keeps a very simple log file - listing only adds (including syncs) and removes.
This way a consistency list can be kept of what is currently installed and what
isn't, without all the logging junk from the front end.
If we stick with autotools, add more defines to configure.in, including
CACHEDIR, PKGEXT, so these can be specified at configure time for ease of use
by other distributions which may want to change the defaults. Also, review what
needs to be in config.h and what does not. There may be excess #depends which
are hard coded into the sources. (from TODO.autoconf)
Quick hits: Quick hits:
* unsigned int vs. unsigned ===========
* 'ldd' & 'ldd -u' - many linkages
* possibly split utilities/extras from pacman package unsigned int vs. unsigned- determine a standard and stick with it
* makepkg3 produces files with arch appended- gensync can't deal with it
* FS #4185 - move where message is logged, perhaps? Possibly split utilities/extras from pacman package
* Remove -A flag (and possibly -D, -T, and -Y?)
* ideas mentioned here - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29450 Rewrite gensync/updatesync, and add a 'repo-remove' script
add a .install message about mirrors, maybe comment whole file, encourage

Update copyrights (2007)
Update pacman website, and add/finish pacman coding style page
Make .indent.pro file for GNU indent (started, but didn't finish)
Pacman 3 packaging - perhaps include pacman2.static in case something goes
terribly wrong, which I hope it won't
autogen.sh / autoclean.sh - these seem messy. Can we clean this up?
