Spruced up the TODOs a bit, got rid of some of them since a lot of it was
duplicate anyway. Also removed the last of the ORE tags and replaced them with TODOs.

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.

|

|
||||
* Documentation- no one likes to write it, but everyone reads it. Work on the
|
||||
man pages and make sure they are up to date.
|
||||
* doc/PKGBUILD.5- continue cleanup work
|

|

* Port the libdownload (libfetch) manpage from BSD style to Linux style, or at
|
||||
very least change references to BSD.
|

Documentation- no one likes to write it, but everyone reads it. Work on the man

pages and make sure they are up to date. Perhaps move man page format to a more
|
||||
portable source format to make translation easier to keep up-to-date (something
|
||||
like txt2tags, docbook?) This will need some research.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - New cache cleaning functionality in pacman - keep installed
|
||||
version, choose number to keep, etc. Good python script in the forums that
|
||||
we should try to emulate, perhaps.
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - downgrade feature - allow users to see cached packages and
|
||||
downgrade to (previous or any?) available options.

|

|
||||
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - Extreme similarity between some of the sync and add code...we
|
||||
have to be able to abstract more away from sync actions and add actions to
|
||||
just 'actions' (example: sync,c, add.c, and deptest.c all contain a switch
|
||||
on PM_DEP_MOD_*). Merge update, add, and sync code when possible, so we
|
||||
reduce duplication.
|
||||
Pacman 3.1:
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - List every function, define, etc. in libalpm. Give one
|
||||
sentence description of each. If it sounds like two are similar, find a way
|
||||
to combine or refactor them. If it is unnecessary- delete it. Stop keeping
|
||||
everything clustered in little add/sync/remove parts, allow transactions to
|
||||
share code.
|
||||
Updated cache cleaning functionality in pacman - keep installed version, choose
|
||||
number to keep, etc. Good python script in the forums that we should try to
|
||||
emulate, perhaps.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - Go through options list. Decide if namings are good, all options
|
||||
are still relevant, etc. Ideas for -Re (#6273), changing meaning of -c (has
|
||||
two meanings, another FS bug), etc.
|
||||
Downgrade feature - allow users to see cached packages and downgrade to
|
||||
(previous or any?) available options.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - Possible rewrite of make system. Options:
|
||||
-- revise to be more static (Aaron mentioned wmii's system)
|
||||
-- Cmake? It looks intriguing
|
||||
Extreme similarity between some of the sync and add code...we have to be able
|
||||
to abstract more away from sync actions and add actions to just 'actions'
|
||||
(example: sync,c, add.c, and deptest.c all contain a switch on PM_DEP_MOD_*).
|
||||
Merge update, add, and sync code when possible, so we reduce duplication.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pacman 3.1 - Rewrite _alpm_sortbydeps to use Topological Sort. Should work
|
||||
using a standard topo sort algorithm, once the crazy types can be fixed up
|
||||
a bit. Include a cycle check - print a big error message if this happens.
|
||||
Review progress /transaction event subsystem. (from TODO)
|
||||
|
||||
Add Doxygen comments to every function in libalpm including private functions.
|
||||
Ensure functions are doing exactly their purpose and nothing more. Find
|
||||
functions that perform duplicate behavior and merge them. Combine and refactor
|
||||
others. Delete unnecessary functions. Stop keeping everything clustered in
|
||||
little add/sync/remove parts, allow transactions to share code.
|
||||
|
||||
Go through options list. Decide if namings are good, all options are still
|
||||
relevant, etc. Ideas for -Re (#6273), changing meaning of -c (has two meanings,
|
||||
another FS bug), etc. Remove the -A flag and possibly -D, -T, and -Y if they
|
||||
can be done by other actions. Possible switch of -U --> -I (#5571).
|
||||
|
||||
Rewrite _alpm_sortbydeps to use Topological Sort. Should work using a standard
|
||||
topo sort algorithm, once the crazy types can be fixed up a bit. Include a
|
||||
cycle check - print a big error message if this happens.

|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
* unsigned int vs. unsigned
|
||||
* 'ldd' & 'ldd -u' - many linkages
|
||||
* possibly split utilities/extras from pacman package
|
||||
* makepkg3 produces files with arch appended- gensync can't deal with it
|
||||
* FS #4185 - move where message is logged, perhaps?
|
||||
* Remove -A flag (and possibly -D, -T, and -Y?)
|
||||
* ideas mentioned here - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29450
|
||||
add a .install message about mirrors, maybe comment whole file, encourage
|
||||
rankmirrors usage
|
||||
* update copyrights
|
||||
* update pacman website
|
||||
* finish pacman coding style page
|
||||
* make indent.pro file for GNU indent
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
unsigned int vs. unsigned- determine a standard and stick with it
|
||||
|
||||
Possibly split utilities/extras from pacman package
|
||||
|
||||
Rewrite gensync/updatesync, and add a 'repo-remove' script
|
||||
|
||||
FS #4185 - move where message is logged, perhaps?
|
||||
|
||||
ideas mentioned here- http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29450- add a
|
||||
.install message about mirrors, maybe comment whole file, encourage rankmirrors
|
||||
usage
|
||||
|
||||
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?
