GLOBAL
======
- get ride of "ORE" tags.
- 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)
- documentation (doxygen? man pages for public functions? ...)
meanings)
PACMAN
======
- review how things are displayed in the frontend (normal display,
verbose mode, which usage for the library log callback, debug levels, ...)
verbose mode, which usage for the library log callback, debug levels, ...)
- review progress / transaction even subsystem
- add .lastupdate files support for "files" db downloads

ADDITIONAL IDEAS FOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
============================================
- idea from Christian Hamar: have a /var/lib/pacman/{repo}/.cache file
that basically contains the output of `ls -1 /var/lib/pacman/{repo}`. This
cache file could be used in -Q and -Si/s operations to speed up package
listings.

== This is my custom TODO file ==
* gensync: get all info from packages instead of PKGBUILDs
for now, we only need to check the PKGBUILD in case of a
'force' option
* gensync and makepkg: support for 1 _or more_ file integrity
algorithms at a time (mostly done).
* pacman: add pactest cases/functionality for all -Q operations and make sure
the output is sane
