DONE: + http_proxy tested, (ftp_proxy, no_proxy, proxy_user, and + proxy_passwd have not been tested). + +1.b) Fix export of PKG_ROOT during pkg_run_script. DONE: tested. + +1.c) Fix so that a src with file:// is supported. DONE: tested. + +1.d) Fix paths in list files. DONE: tested. + +1.e) Fix offline_root mode. DONE: tested. + +2) Release ipkg as ipkg, (no longer as ipkg-unstable). This depends on + all of (1) being DONE. Although I might let this release proceed + without offline_root --- only Jamey will complain. ;-) + +3) Bug fixes + +3.a) fix all code marked "XXX: BUG" + +3.b) fix all outstanding ipkg bugzilla bugs + +3.c) conffiles support seems broken again. It's prompting on just + about every file. It might be because of file names beginning + with "///". + FIXED the "///" problem, (seemed harmless though), in 0.99.2 + FIXED a problem with conffiles with -force-reinstall in 0.99.2. + This seems to be mostly working now, (I have seen strange + prompting on one out of the three ssh conffiles, maybe the + postinst script changed it? Hmmm... and something is going on + with pcmcia-cs too. Mysterious.) + +3.d) Test versioned Depends + +3.e) Test Provides. DONE. + +3.f) Make sure Suggests, Recommends, (Enhances?), all work, (I know + some of these are not yet implemented) + +3.g) Audit all dpkg package fields for both parsing and printing support. + +3.h) "ipkg status" and "ipkg info" need to complain about unknown + packages. For that matter, these two commands should probably just + become aliases to the same functionality. + + Jamey thinks ipkg status should be brief give one line per package, while + ipkg info can continue to be verbose. 7/23/2002. + +3.i) Currently "ipkg install foo" will upgrade foo if possible. The + "Package foo is already installed" check needs to be moved up to + avoid this. + + Jamey thinkgs that "ipkg install foo" should upgrade foo. 7/23/2002. + +4) Implement new features + +4.a) start with all "XXX: FEATURE" comments + +4.b) implement all accepted ipkg bugzilla feature requests, (also + check old post "Subject: Reinventing ipkg" to see if we forgot + any of the good ideas we had once upon a time) + +4.c) ipkg remove needs to (prompt first) then remove packages for + which the dependencies will no longer be met. DONE. 7/19/2002. + +4.d) Add support for: + ipkg install foo from some-feed + ipkg install foo-0.4.3 + ipkg install foo-latest # Only needed if we add a feed-order-priority option + or something like that. + +4.e) Orphaned dependency management (what is this -Jamey 7/23/2002) + +4.f) Add code for HTTP GET to eliminate wget dependence, (see + apps/urlget for code). We should probably still keep the wget + call as a backup. + + -- use busybox's internal wget -jamey 7/23/2002 + +4.g) Experiment with making a small statically linked binary. Can we + eliminate some library calls, (glob, regcomp)? Can we get + something like uclibc to work well? + +4.h) Add support for a deb-src in /etc/ipkg.conf. (ARGH! Name clash + alert! In apt-land, deb-src means something very different than + what I would mean here. Hrm... Maybe src-deb would be cleaner? ) + + (What is this? Jamey 7/23/2002) + +4.i) Figure out a clever chroot mechanism for running maintainer scripts in + offline_root mode. + +4.j) Implement ipkg history mechanism, with undo and redo? Keep track of + packages removed/installed by each call to ipkg. + +5) release ipkg-1.0.0 + +6) Cleanup the code + +6.a) Start with all comments marked "XXX: CLEANUP" |
