TODO for autoconf/automake:
pacman's Makefile.am and configure.in
=====================================
- find out how can we prevent automake/autoconf to build pacman.static binary, if we
are configured using --disable-static flag. Now if builded with this option, then pacman.static
compile fails, because there will be no libalpm.a (just .so)
global
======
- review autoclean.sh script. Maybe there is a more simple way to do this FULL clean.
- Add i18n (gettext) support to configure.in and create the 'po' directory (half ready) -krix
- Add doxygen support to configure.in to generate code documentation automatically
- Add libarchive depends instead of libtar. libtar isn't developed, but libarchive is.
libarchive is a powerfuller thing than libtar and not much bigger. It supports many
archive formats, eg .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, zip, etc..
- 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.
