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