@@ -4,9 +4,33 @@ Future Tasks Functional Changes ------------------ + * Support a field for annotating transitional packages, to help notify + maintainers when their source packages depend on development packages for + old library SONAME versions. + - Add optional `Deprecated: yes[ <replacement-pkg>]` binary package field to + SPF 2.0. Note that this does not replace package relationship fields like + `Depends`. + - (Debian uses `Section: oldlibs` for this, but ProteanOS uses `Section` to + separate packages into smaller indices that not all systems use, so we + shouldn't just dump all transitional packages into one big section. Also, + ProteanOS uses `Section` to determine whether to architecture-qualify + names of multiarch coinstallable packages.) + - Add `Deprecated` to `lib/package/2.sh` `_OB_BINARY_FIELDS_OPTIONAL_2`. + - Add an option to opkbuild to disable build dependency deprecation + failures. Maybe replace `-D`. Set an environment variable for + ob-checkbuilddeps. + - Run `opkg info` instead of `opkg status` in ob-checkbuilddeps + `check_dep()`. If a `Deprecated` field exists, call `ob_error()` with the + name of the replacement package (if any). If build dependency deprecation + failures are enabled, exit with an error status. + - Make opkbuild always run ob-checkbuilddeps regardless of `-d` option and + only exit with an error status if ob-checkbuilddeps fails and `-d` is + specified. * Make binary package `Description` fields architecture- and platform- independent (so a packages index Web site can show one description for a binary package for all its architectures and platforms). + - Specify in SPF 2.0 #substvars-defined that `Host-Arch` and `Host-Plat` + substitution variables shall not be set for `Description` fields. - `ob_set_source_substvar()` needs a third optional (for API compatibility) `archplat_dep` parameter (default `false`) that, if `true`, causes variable to be stored in a separate array. |
