TODO:
global
======
- add i18n (gettext) support
- get ride of "ORE" tags.
- bring back the autoconf/automake stuff
- import libtar code into CVS too, and try to fix glibc dependencies when
statically linking libtar?
libalpm
=======
- remove the dependency with /usr/bin/chroot (implement the chroot handling
using the chroot() syscall)
- review errors handling (globalise pm_errno usage, improve error
meanings)
- documentation (doxygen? man pages for public functions? ...)
pacman
======
- implement missing functionnalities (mainly handling of package conflicts
during packages replacement)
- review how things are displayed in the frontend (normal display,
verbose mode, which usage for the library log callback, pmo_debug, ...)
- add a structure in pacman to hold all the configuration (pmo_root, ...)
- add HTTP support for .lastupdate files
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.
