4 [NB: I use this as a thought record/scribble, not everything on here
5 makes sense and/or is actually ever going to get done, so IIWY I
6 wouldn't use it as gospel for the future of katie or as a TODO
7 list for random hacking.]
9 ================================================================================
14 o What to do with multi-suite uploads? Presumably hold in unapproved
15 and warn? Or what? Can't accept just for unstable or reject just
18 o Whenever we check for anything in accepted we also need to check in
21 o non-sourceful uploads should go straight through if they have
22 source in accepted or the archive.
24 o security uploads on auric should be pre-approved.
30 <elmo_home> [<random>maybe I should reject debian packages with a non-Debian origin or bugs field</>]
31 <Kamion> [<random>agreed; dunno what origin does but non-Debian bugs fields would be bad]
33 o rhona should make use of select..except select, temporary tables
34 etc. rather than looping and calling SQL every time so we can do
35 suite removal sanely (see potato-removal document)
37 o melanie will happily include packages in the Cc list that aren't
40 o melanie doesn't remove udebs when removing the source they build from
42 o check_dsc_against_db's "delete an entry from files while you're
43 not looking" habit is Evil and Bad.
45 o lisa allows you to edit the section and change the component, but
48 o melanie needs to, when not sending bug close mails, promote Cc: to
49 To: and send the mail anyways.
51 o the lockfile (Archive_Maintenance_In_Progress) should probably be in a conf file
53 o madison should cross-check the b.source field and if it's not null
54 and s.name linked from it != the source given in
55 -S/--source-and-binary ignore.
57 o lauren sucks; she should a) only spam d-i for sourceful
58 rejections, b) sort stuff so she rejects sourceful stuff first. the
59 non-sourceful should probably get a form mail, c) automate the
60 non-sourceful stuff (see b).
62 o jennifer should do q-d stuff for faster AA [ryan]
64 o split the morgue into source and binary so binaries can be purged first!
66 o per-architecture priorities for things like different arch'es
67 gcc's, silly BSD libftw, palo, etc.
69 o use postgres 7.2's built-in stat features to figure out how indices are used etc.
71 o neve shouldn't be using location, she should run down suites instead
73 o halle needs to know about udebs
75 o by default hamstring katie's mail sending so that she won't send
76 anything until someone edits a script; she's been used far too
77 much to send spam atm :(
79 o $ftpdir/indices isn't created by rose because it's not in katie.conf
81 o sanity check depends/recommends/suggests too? in fact for any
84 [minor] kelly's copychanges, copykatie handling sucks, the per-suite
85 thing is static for all packages, so work out in advance dummy.
87 [madison] # filenames ?
88 [madison] # maintainer, component, install date (source only?), fingerprint?
90 o UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
91 o Log stuff should open the log file
93 o helena should footnote the actual notes, and also * the versions
94 with notes so we can see new versions since being noted...
96 o helena should have alternative sorting options, including reverse
97 and without or without differentiaion.
99 o julia should sync debadmin and ftpmaster (?)
101 o <drow> Can't read file.:
102 /org/security.debian.org/queue/accepted/accepted/apache-perl_1.3.9-14.1-1.21.20000309-1_sparc.katie.
103 You assume that the filenames are relative to accepted/, might want
106 o <neuro> the orig was in NEW, the changes that caused it to be NEW
107 were pulled out in -2, and we end up with no orig in the archive
110 o SecurityAcceptedAutoBuild doesn't handle the case of foo_3.3woody1
111 with a new .orig.tar.gz followed by a foo_3.3potato1 with the same
112 .orig.tar.gz; jennifer sees it and copes, but the AA code doesn't
113 and can't really easily know so the potato AA dir is left with no
114 .orig.tar.gz copy. doh.
116 o orig.tar.gz in accepted not handled properly (?)
118 o amber doesn't include .orig.tar.gz but it should
120 o permissions (paranoia, group write, etc.) configurability and overhaul
122 o remember duplicate copyrights in lisaand skip them, per package
124 o <M>ove option for lisa byhand proecessing
126 o rene could do with overrides
128 o db_access.get_location_id should handle the lack of archive_id properly
130 o the whole versioncmp thing should be documented
132 o lisa doesn't do the right thing with -2 and -1 uploads, as you can
133 end up with the .orig.tar.gz not in the pool
135 o lisa exits if you check twice (aj)
137 o lisa doesn't trap signals from fernanda properly
139 o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks - reimplement it.
141 o aj's bin nmu changes
144 * priority >> optional
146 * build-depends wrong (via andrea)
149 * notification/stats to admin daily
150 o trap fernanda exiting
151 o distinguish binary only versus others (neuro)
153 o cache changes parsed from ordering (careful tho: would be caching
154 .changes from world writable incoming, not holding)
156 o katie doesn't recognise binonlyNMUs correctly in terms of telling
157 who their source is; source-must-exist does, but the info is not
160 o Fix BTS vs. katie sync issues by queueing(via BSMTP) BTS mail so
161 that it can be released on deman (e.g. ETRN to exim).
163 o maintainers file needs overrides
165 [ change override.maintainer to override.maintainer-from +
166 override.maintainer-to and have them reference the maintainers
167 table. Then fix charisma to use them and write some scripting
168 to handle the Santiago situation. ]
170 o Validate Depends (et al.) [it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*<VERSIONREGEXP>\)]
172 o Clean up DONE; archive to tar file every 2 weeks, update tar tvzf INDEX file.
174 o testing-updates suite: if binary-only and version << version in
175 unstable and source-ver ~= source-ver in testing; then map
176 unstable -> testing-updates ?
178 o hooks or configurability for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency, auto-building support)
180 o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)
182 o saffron: two modes, all included, seperate
183 o saffron: add non-US
184 o saffron: add ability to control components, architectures, archives, suites
185 o saffron: add key to expand header
187 ================================================================================
192 o change utils.copy to try rename() first
194 o [hard, long term] unchecked -> accepted should go into the db, not
195 a suite, but similar. this would allow katie to get even faster,
196 make madison more useful, decomplexify specialacceptedautobuild
197 and generally be more sane. may even be helpful to have e.g. new
198 in the DB, so that we avoid corner cases like the .orig.tar.gz
199 disappearing 'cos the package has been entirely removed but was
200 still on stayofexecution when it entered new.
202 o Logging [mostly done] (todo: rhona (hard), .. ?)
204 o jennifer: the tar extractor class doesn't need to be redone for each package
206 o reverse of source-must-exist; i.e. binary-for-source-must-not-exist
207 o REJECT reminders in shania.
208 o fernanda should check for conflicts and warn about them visavis priority [rmurray]
209 o store a list of removed/files versions; also compare against them.
210 [but be careful about scalability]
212 o fernanda: print_copyright should be a lot more intelligent
213 @ handle copyright.gz
214 @ handle copyright.ja and copyright
215 @ handle (detect at least) symlinks to another package's doc directory
216 @ handle and/or fall back on source files (?)
218 o To incorporate from utils:
221 o auto-purge out-of-date stuff from non-free/contrib so that testing and stuff works
222 o doogie's binary -> source index
223 o jt's web stuff, matt's changelog stuff (overlap)
225 o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs.
227 o experimental needs to auto clean (relative to unstable) [partial: rene warns about this]
229 o Do a checkpc(1)-a-like which sanitizes a config files.
230 o fix parse_changes()/build_file_list() to sanity check filenames
231 o saftey check and/or rename debs so they match what they should be
234 o Need to optimize all the queries by using EXAMINE and building some INDEXs.
235 [postgresql 7.2 will help here]
236 o Need to enclose all the setting SQL stuff in transactions (mostly done).
237 o Need to finish alyson (a way to sync katie.conf and the DB)
238 o Need the ability to rebuild all other tables from dists _or_ pools (in the event of disaster) (?)
239 o Make the --help and --version options do stuff for all scripts
241 o charisma can't handle whitespace-only lines (for the moment, this is feature)
243 o generic way of saying isabinary and isadsc. (?)
245 o s/distribution/suite/g
248 @ weekly postins to d-c (?)
249 @ backup of report (?)
250 @ backup of changes.tgz (?)
252 o --help doesn't work without /etc/katie/katie.conf (or similar) at
255 o rename andrea (clashes with existing andrea)...
259 o interrupting of stracing jennifer causes exceptions errors from apt_inst calls
260 o dependency checking (esp. stable) (partially done)
261 o override checks sucks; it needs to track changes made by the
262 maintainer and pass them onto ftpmaster instead of warning the
264 o need to do proper rfc822 escaping of from lines (as opposed to s/\.//g)
265 o Revisit linking of binary->source in install() in katie.
266 o Fix component handling in overrides (aj)
267 o Fix lack of entires in source overrides (aj)
268 o direport misreports things as section 'devel' (? we don't use direport)
269 o vrfy check of every Maintainer+Changed-By address; valid for 3 months.
270 o binary-all should be done on a per-source, per-architecture package
271 basis to avoid, e.g. the perl-modules problem.
272 o a source-missing-diff check: if the version has a - in it, and it
273 is sourceful, it needs orig and diff, e.g. if someone uploads
274 esound_0.2.22-6, and it is sourceful, and there is no diff ->
275 REJECT (version has a dash, therefore not debian native.)
276 o check linking of .tar.gz's to .dsc's.. see proftpd 1.2.1 as an example
277 o archive needs md5sum'ed regularly, but takes too long to do all
278 in one go; make progressive or weekly.
279 o katie/jenna/rhona/whatever needs to clear out .changes
280 files from p-u when removing stuff superseded by newer versions.
281 [but for now we have halle]
282 o test sig checking stuff in test/ (stupid thing is not modularized due to global abuse)
283 o when encountering suspicous things (e.g. file tainting) do something more drastic
287 o suite mapping and component mapping are parsed per changes file,
288 they should probably be stored in a dictionary created at startup.
289 o don't stat/md5sum files you have entries for in the DB, moron
290 boy (Katie.check_source_blah_blah)
291 o promote changes["changes"] to mandatory in katie.py(dump_vars)
292 after a month or so (or all .katie files contain in the queue
294 o melanie should behave better with -a and without -b; see
295 gcc-defaults removal for an example.
296 o Reject on misconfigured kernel-package uploads
297 o utils.extract_component_from_section: main/utils -> main/utils, main rather than utils, main
298 o Fix jennier to warn if run when not in incoming or p-u
299 o katie should validate multi-suite uploads; only possible valid one
301 o cron.daily* should change umask (aj sucks)
302 o Rene doesn't look at debian-installer but should.
303 o Rene needs to check for binary-less source packages.
304 o Rene could accept a suite argument (?)
305 o byhand stuff should send notification
306 o catherine should udpate db; move files, not the other way around [neuro]
307 o melanie should update the stable changelog [joey]
312 o drop rather dubious currval stuff (?)
313 o rationalize os.path.join() usage
314 o Rene also doesn't seem to warn about missing binary packages (??)
315 o logging: hostname + pid ?
316 o ANAIS should be done in katie (?)
317 o Add an 'add' ability to melanie (? separate prog maybe)
318 o Replicate old dinstall report stuff (? needed ?)
319 o Handle the case of 1:1.1 which would overwrite 1.1 (?)
320 o maybe drop -r/--regex in madison, make it the default and
321 implement -e/--exact (a la joey's "elmo")
322 o dsc files are not checked for existence/perms (only an issue if
323 they're in the .dsc, but not the .changes.. possible?)
327 o db_access' get_files needs to use exceptions not this None, > 0, < 0 return val BS (?)
328 o The untouchable flag doesn't stop new packages being added to ``untouchable'' suites
330 ================================================================================
335 o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?)
