   2 Things to do for opkg, in a partial order:
   3
   4 0) Play with configure to check for strdup/strndup ( to works with replace/replace.h stuffs )
   5
   6 1) Fix incompatibilities between current C-based opkg and original
   7 sh-based opkg.
   8
   9 1.a) Fix opkg.conf options for http_proxy and friends. DONE:
  10      http_proxy tested, (ftp_proxy, no_proxy, proxy_user, and
  11      proxy_passwd have not been tested).
  12
  13 1.b) Fix export of PKG_ROOT during pkg_run_script. DONE: tested.
  14
  15 1.c) Fix so that a src with file:// is supported. DONE: tested.
  16
  17 1.d) Fix paths in list files. DONE: tested.
  18
  19 1.e) Fix offline_root mode. DONE: tested.
  20
  21 2) Release opkg as opkg, (no longer as opkg-unstable). This depends on
  22    all of (1) being DONE. Although I might let this release proceed
  23    without offline_root --- only Jamey will complain. ;-)
  24
  25 3) Bug fixes
  26
  27 3.a) fix all code marked "XXX: BUG"
  28
  29 3.b) fix all outstanding opkg bugzilla bugs
  30
  31 3.c) conffiles support seems broken again. It's prompting on just
  32      about every file. It might be because of file names beginning
  33      with "///".
  34         FIXED the "///" problem, (seemed harmless though), in 0.99.2
  35         FIXED a problem with conffiles with -force-reinstall in 0.99.2.
  36         This seems to be mostly working now, (I have seen strange
  37         prompting on one out of the three ssh conffiles, maybe the
  38         postinst script changed it? Hmmm... and something is going on
  39         with pcmcia-cs too. Mysterious.)
  40
  41 3.d) Test versioned Depends
  42
  43 3.e) Test Provides.  DONE.
  44
  45 3.f) Make sure Suggests, Recommends, (Enhances?), all work, (I know
  46      some of these are not yet implemented)
  47
  48 3.g) Audit all dpkg package fields for both parsing and printing support.
  49
  50 3.h) "opkg status" and "opkg info" need to complain about unknown
  51   packages. For that matter, these two commands should probably just
  52   become aliases to the same functionality.
  53
  54   Jamey thinks opkg status should be brief give one line per package, while
  55   opkg info can continue to be verbose. 7/23/2002.
  56
  57 3.i) Currently "opkg install foo" will upgrade foo if possible. The
  58   "Package foo is already installed" check needs to be moved up to
  59   avoid this.
  60
  61   Jamey thinkgs that "opkg install foo" should upgrade foo.  7/23/2002.
  62
  63 4) Implement new features
  64
  65 4.a) start with all "XXX: FEATURE" comments
  66
  67 4.b) implement all accepted opkg bugzilla feature requests, (also
  68      check old post "Subject: Reinventing opkg" to see if we forgot
  69      any of the good ideas we had once upon a time)
  70
  71 4.c) opkg remove needs to (prompt first) then remove packages for
  72      which the dependencies will no longer be met. DONE. 7/19/2002.
  73
  74 4.d) Add support for:
  75         opkg install foo from some-feed
  76         opkg install foo-0.4.3
  77         opkg install foo-latest # Only needed if we add a feed-order-priority option
  78      or something like that.
  79
  80 4.e) Orphaned dependency management (what is this -Jamey 7/23/2002)
  81
  82 4.f) Add code for HTTP GET to eliminate wget dependence, (see
  83      apps/urlget for code). We should probably still keep the wget
  84      call as a backup.
  85
  86      -- use busybox's internal wget -jamey 7/23/2002
  87
  88 4.g) Experiment with making a small statically linked binary. Can we
  89      eliminate some library calls, (glob, regcomp)? Can we get
  90      something like uclibc to work well?
  91
  92 4.h) Add support for a deb-src in /etc/opkg.conf. (ARGH! Name clash
  93      alert! In apt-land, deb-src means something very different than
  94      what I would mean here. Hrm... Maybe src-deb would be cleaner? )
  95
  96      (What is this?  Jamey 7/23/2002)
  97
  98 4.i) Figure out a clever chroot mechanism for running maintainer scripts in
  99      offline_root mode.
 100
 101 4.j) Implement opkg history mechanism, with undo and redo?  Keep track of
 102      packages removed/installed by each call to opkg.
 103
 104 5) release opkg-1.0.0
 105
 106 6) Cleanup the code
 107
 108 6.a) Start with all comments marked "XXX: CLEANUP"
