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 UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
15 o Log stuff should open the log file g+w lamer
16 <aj> elmo_home: (although, if you haven't already, you might want to add a `Reject: invalid character in Version:' check to katie sometime)
17 <aj> elmo_home: (at least while auric's apt doesn't handle ~'s)
22 o permissions (paranoia, group write, etc.) configurability and overhaul
24 o <M>ove option for lisa byhand proecessing
26 o rene could do with overrides
28 o db_access.get_location_id should handle the lack of archive_id properly
30 o the whole versioncmp thing should be documented
32 o lisa doesn't do the right thing with -2 and -1 uploads, as you can
33 end up with the .orig.tar.gz not in the pool
35 o lisa exits if you check twice (aj)
37 o lisa doesn't trap signals from fernanda properly
39 o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks - reimplement it.
41 o aj's bin nmu changes
44 * priority >> optional
46 * build-depends wrong (via andrea)
49 * notification/stats to admin daily
50 o trap fernanda exiting
51 o distinguish binary only versus others (neuro)
53 o cache changes parsed from ordering (careful tho: would be caching
54 .changes from world writable incoming, not holding); katie should
55 certainly be using .katie files, not parsing changes, that's just
58 o katie doesn't recognise binonlyNMUs correctly in terms of telling
59 who their source is; source-must-exist does, but the info is not
62 o Fix BTS vs. katie sync issues by queueing(via BSMTP) BTS mail so
63 that it can be released on deman (e.g. ETRN to exim).
65 o write our own locking module or in some other way fix things so we
66 don't require a patch to python since upstream refuse to fix it.
68 o maintainers file needs overrides
70 [ change override.maintainer to override.maintainer-from +
71 override.maintainer-to and have them reference the maintainers
72 table. Then fix charisma to use them and write some scripting
73 to handle the Santiago situation. ]
75 o (Depends) <aj> elmo: it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*<VERSIONREGEXP>\) fwiw
77 o Clean up DONE; archive to tar file every 2 weeks, update tar tvzf INDEX file.
79 o testing-updates suite: if binary-only and version << version in
80 unstable and source-ver ~= source-ver in testing; then map
81 unstable -> testing-updates ?
83 o hooks or configurability for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency, auto-building support)
85 o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)
87 ================================================================================
92 o change utils.copy to try rename() first
94 o [hard, long term] unchecked -> accepted should go into the db, not
95 a suite, but similar. this would allow katie to get even faster,
96 make madison more useful, decomplexify specialacceptedautobuild and
97 generally be more sane. may even be helpful to have e.g. new in the
98 DB, so that we avoid corner cases like the .orig.tar.gz disappearing
99 'cos the package has been entirely removed but was still on
100 stayofexecution when it entered new.
102 o Logging [mostly done] (todo: rhona (hard), .. ?)
104 o jennifer is leaking file descriptors..
106 o the tar extractor class doesn't need to be redone for each package
108 o reverse of source-must-exist; i.e. binary-for-source-must-not-exist
109 o REJECT reminders in shania.
110 o fernanda should check for conflicts and warn about them visavis priority [rmurray]
111 o store a list of removed/files versions; also compare against them.
112 [but be careful about scalability]
114 o fernanda: print_copyright should be a lot more intelligent
115 @ handle copyright.gz
116 @ handle copyright.ja and copyright
117 @ handle (detect at least) symlinks to another package's doc directory
118 @ handle and/or fall back on source files (?)
120 o To incorporate from utils:
123 o auto-purge out-of-date stuff from non-free/contrib so that testing and stuff works
124 o doogie's binary -> source index
125 o jt's web stuff, matt's changelog stuff (overlap)
127 o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs.
129 o experimental needs to auto clean (relative to unstable) [partial: rene warns about this]
131 o Do a checkpc(1)-a-like which sanitizes a config files.
132 o fix parse_changes()/build_file_list() to sanity check filenames
133 o saftey check and/or rename debs so they match what they should be
136 o Need to optimize all the queries by using EXAMINE and building some INDEXs.
137 [postgresql 7.2 will help here]
138 o Need to enclose all the setting SQL stuff in transactions (mostly done).
139 o Need to finish alyson (a way to sync katie.conf and the DB)
140 o Need the ability to rebuild all other tables from dists _or_ pools (in the event of disaster) (?)
141 o Make the --help and --version options do stuff for all scripts
143 o charisma can't handle whitespace-only lines (for the moment, this is feature)
145 o generic way of saying isabinary and isadsc. (?)
147 o s/distribution/suite/g
150 @ weekly postins to d-c (?)
151 @ backup of report (?)
152 @ backup of changes.tgz (?)
156 o interrupting of stracing jennifer causes exceptions errors from apt_inst calls
157 o dependency checking (esp. stable) (partially done)
158 o override checks sucks; it needs to track changes made by the
159 maintainer and pass them onto ftpmaster instead of warning the
161 o need to do proper rfc822 escaping of from lines (as opposed to s/\.//g)
162 o Revisit linking of binary->source in install() in katie.
163 o Fix component handling in overrides (aj)
164 o Fix lack of entires in source overrides (aj)
165 o direport misreports things as section 'devel' (? we don't use direport)
166 o vrfy check of every Maintainer+Changed-By address; valid for 3 months.
167 o binary-all should be done on a per-source, per-architecture package
168 basis to avoid, e.g. the perl-modules problem.
169 o a source-missing-diff check: if the version has a - in it, and it
170 is sourceful, it needs orig and diff, e.g. if someone uploads
171 esound_0.2.22-6, and it is sourceful, and there is no diff ->
172 REJECT (version has a dash, therefore not debian native.)
173 o check linking of .tar.gz's to .dsc's.. see proftpd 1.2.1 as an example
174 o archive needs md5sum'ed regularly, but takes too long to do all
175 in one go; make progressive or weekly.
176 o katie/jenna/rhona/whatever needs to clear out .changes
177 files from p-u when removing stuff superseded by newer versions.
178 [but for now we have halle]
179 o test sig checking stuff in test/ (stupid thing is not modularized due to global abuse)
180 o when encountering suspicous things (e.g. file tainting) do something more drastic
184 o suite mapping and component mapping are parsed per changes file,
185 they should probably be stored in a dictionary created at startup.
186 o don't stat/md5sum files you have entries for in the DB, moron
187 boy (Katie.check_source_blah_blah)
188 o promote changes["changes"] to mandatory in katie.py(dump_vars)
189 after a month or so (or all .katie files contain in the queue
191 o melanie should behave better with -a and without -b; see
192 gcc-defaults removal for an example.
193 o Reject on misconfigured kernel-package uploads
194 o utils.extract_component_from_section: main/utils -> main/utils, main rather than utils, main
195 o Fix jennier to warn if run when not in incoming or p-u
196 o katie should validate multi-suite uploads; only possible valid one
198 o cron.daily* should change umask (aj sucks)
199 o Rene doesn't look at debian-installer but should.
200 o Rene needs to check for binary-less source packages.
201 o Rene could accept a suite argument (?)
202 o byhand stuff should send notification
203 o catherine should udpate db; move files, not the other way around [neuro]
204 o melanie should update the stable changelog [joey]
209 o drop rather dubious currval stuff (?)
210 o rationalize os.path.join() usage
211 o Rene also doesn't seem to warn about missing binary packages (??)
212 o logging: hostname + pid ?
213 o ANAIS should be done in katie (?)
214 o Add an 'add' ability to melanie (? separate prog maybe)
215 o Replicate old dinstall report stuff (? needed ?)
216 o Handle the case of 1:1.1 which would overwrite 1.1 (?)
217 o maybe drop -r/--regex in madison, make it the default and
218 implement -e/--exact (a la joey's "elmo")
222 o db_access' get_files needs to use exceptions not this None, > 0, < 0 return val BS (?)
223 o The untouchable flag doesn't stop new packages being added to ``untouchable'' suites
225 ================================================================================
230 o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?)
232 ================================================================================
