TODO.dan
|
||||
This is my personal TODO list. No guarantees if it is out of date and things
|
||||
no longer apply. If you want to help out with any of it, send me an email.
|
||||
|
||||
* Variable names in makepkg.conf--confusing
|
||||
- some use 'USE_', others do not
|
||||
- some are 'NO', some are 'KEEP', etc.
|
||||
- some options use 0/1, others are y/n
|
||||
* Should undocumented makepkg (and thus PKGBUILD) options be put in the
|
||||
manpage, as well as including sections for them in the makepkg.conf file?
|
||||
* Go through all makepkg bugs in flyspray and see if they are rectified:
|
||||
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?tasks=&project=1&string=makepkg
|
||||
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
* PKGBUILD man page should be in section 5 and not section 8
|
||||
|
||||
* Port the libdownload (libfetch) manpage from BSD style to Linux style, or at
|
||||
very least change references to BSD.
|
||||
|
||||
* Revise build system to a more static one (Aaron mentioned wmii system).
|
||||
|
||||
* NEWS file updating and cleanup. Get rid of items that are bugfixes of never-
|
||||
released code, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 - downgrade feature - allow users to see cached packages andi
|
||||
downgrade to (previous or any?) available options.
|
||||
|
||||
* alpm_log_action & install script logging interaction - producing duplicate
|
||||
entries in pacman logs (possibly fixed? needs more testing but looks good)
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* For 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* Monotone suggestion- allow changing of a branch name after commit (example:
|
||||
I meant to commit to a new branch, but I forgot --branch option on the
|
||||
commit. Can I remove the original branch cert and replace it with a new
|
||||
one?)
|
||||
|
||||
Quick hits:
|
||||
* log_progress and cb_trans_progress - same function? not quite but commonality
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
* Fix repo-add script so it replaces packages instead of simply adding new onesi
|
||||
(so old version is properly removed).
