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