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 katie.py(source_exists): a) we take arguments as parameters that
31 we could figure out for ourselves (we're part of the Katie class
32 after all), b) we have this 3rd argument which defaults to "any"
33 but could in fact be dropped since no one uses it like that.
35 o jennifer: doesn't handle bin-only NMUs of stuff still in NEW,
36 BYHAND or ACCEPTED (but not the pool) - not a big deal, upload can
37 be retried once the source is in the archive, but still.
39 o security global mail overrides should special case buildd stuff so
40 that buildds get ACCEPTED mails (or maybe amber (?)), that way
41 upload-security doesn't grow boundlessly.
43 o amber should upload sourceful packages first, otherwise with big
44 packages (e.g. X) and esp. when source is !i386, half the arches
45 can be uploaded without source, get copied into queue/unaccepted
46 and promptly rejected.
48 o rene's NVIU check doesn't catch cases where source package changed
49 name, should check binaries too. [debian-devel@l.d.o, 2004-02-03]
51 o cnf[melanie::logfile] is misnamed...
53 <aj> i'd be kinda inclined to go with insisting the .changes file take
54 the form ---- BEGIN PGP MESSAGE --- <non -- BEGIN/END lines> --
55 BEGIN PGP SIG -- END PGP MESSAGE -- with no lines before or after,
56 and rejecting .changes that didn't match that
58 o rene should check for source packages not building any binaries
60 o heidi should have a diff mode that accepts diff output!
62 o halle doesn't deal with melanie'd packages, partial replacements
65 o lauren, the tramp, blindly deletes with no check that the delete
66 failed which it might well given we only look for package/version,
67 not package/version _in p-u_. duh.
69 o melanie should remove obsolete changes when removing from p-u, or
70 at least warn. or halle should handle it.
72 o need a testsuite _badly_
74 o lisa should have an Bitch-Then-Accept option
76 o jennifer crashes if run as a user in -n mode when orig.tar.gz is
79 <elmo_home> [<random>maybe I should reject debian packages with a non-Debian origin or bugs field</>]
80 <Kamion> [<random>agreed; dunno what origin does but non-Debian bugs fields would be bad]
82 o rhona should make use of select..except select, temporary tables
83 etc. rather than looping and calling SQL every time so we can do
84 suite removal sanely (see potato-removal document)
86 o melanie will happily include packages in the Cc list that aren't
89 o melanie doesn't remove udebs when removing the source they build from
91 o check_dsc_against_db's "delete an entry from files while you're
92 not looking" habit is Evil and Bad.
94 o lisa allows you to edit the section and change the component, but
97 o melanie needs to, when not sending bug close mails, promote Cc: to
98 To: and send the mail anyways.
100 o the lockfile (Archive_Maintenance_In_Progress) should probably be in a conf file
102 o madison should cross-check the b.source field and if it's not null
103 and s.name linked from it != the source given in
104 -S/--source-and-binary ignore.
106 o lauren sucks; she should a) only spam d-i for sourceful
107 rejections, b) sort stuff so she rejects sourceful stuff first. the
108 non-sourceful should probably get a form mail, c) automate the
109 non-sourceful stuff (see b).
111 o jennifer should do q-d stuff for faster AA [ryan]
113 o split the morgue into source and binary so binaries can be purged first!
115 o per-architecture priorities for things like different arch'es
116 gcc's, silly BSD libftw, palo, etc.
118 o use postgres 7.2's built-in stat features to figure out how indices are used etc.
120 o neve shouldn't be using location, she should run down suites instead
122 o halle needs to know about udebs
124 o by default hamstring katie's mail sending so that she won't send
125 anything until someone edits a script; she's been used far too
126 much to send spam atm :(
128 o $ftpdir/indices isn't created by rose because it's not in katie.conf
130 o sanity check depends/recommends/suggests too? in fact for any
133 [minor] kelly's copychanges, copykatie handling sucks, the per-suite
134 thing is static for all packages, so work out in advance dummy.
136 [madison] # filenames ?
137 [madison] # maintainer, component, install date (source only?), fingerprint?
139 o UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
140 o Log stuff should open the log file
142 o helena should footnote the actual notes, and also * the versions
143 with notes so we can see new versions since being noted...
145 o helena should have alternative sorting options, including reverse
146 and without or without differentiaion.
148 o julia should sync debadmin and ftpmaster (?)
150 o <drow> Can't read file.:
151 /org/security.debian.org/queue/accepted/accepted/apache-perl_1.3.9-14.1-1.21.20000309-1_sparc.katie.
152 You assume that the filenames are relative to accepted/, might want
155 o <neuro> the orig was in NEW, the changes that caused it to be NEW
156 were pulled out in -2, and we end up with no orig in the archive
159 o SecurityAcceptedAutoBuild doesn't handle the case of foo_3.3woody1
160 with a new .orig.tar.gz followed by a foo_3.3potato1 with the same
161 .orig.tar.gz; jennifer sees it and copes, but the AA code doesn't
162 and can't really easily know so the potato AA dir is left with no
163 .orig.tar.gz copy. doh.
165 o orig.tar.gz in accepted not handled properly (?)
167 o amber doesn't include .orig.tar.gz but it should
169 o permissions (paranoia, group write, etc.) configurability and overhaul
171 o remember duplicate copyrights in lisaand skip them, per package
173 o <M>ove option for lisa byhand proecessing
175 o rene could do with overrides
177 o db_access.get_location_id should handle the lack of archive_id properly
179 o the whole versioncmp thing should be documented
181 o lisa doesn't do the right thing with -2 and -1 uploads, as you can
182 end up with the .orig.tar.gz not in the pool
184 o lisa exits if you check twice (aj)
186 o lisa doesn't trap signals from fernanda properly
188 o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks - reimplement it.
190 o aj's bin nmu changes
193 * priority >> optional
195 * build-depends wrong (via andrea)
198 * notification/stats to admin daily
199 o trap fernanda exiting
200 o distinguish binary only versus others (neuro)
202 o cache changes parsed from ordering (careful tho: would be caching
203 .changes from world writable incoming, not holding)
205 o katie doesn't recognise binonlyNMUs correctly in terms of telling
206 who their source is; source-must-exist does, but the info is not
209 o Fix BTS vs. katie sync issues by queueing(via BSMTP) BTS mail so
210 that it can be released on deman (e.g. ETRN to exim).
212 o maintainers file needs overrides
214 [ change override.maintainer to override.maintainer-from +
215 override.maintainer-to and have them reference the maintainers
216 table. Then fix charisma to use them and write some scripting
217 to handle the Santiago situation. ]
219 o Validate Depends (et al.) [it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*<VERSIONREGEXP>\)]
221 o Clean up DONE; archive to tar file every 2 weeks, update tar tvzf INDEX file.
223 o testing-updates suite: if binary-only and version << version in
224 unstable and source-ver ~= source-ver in testing; then map
225 unstable -> testing-updates ?
227 o hooks or configurability for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency, auto-building support)
229 o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)
231 o saffron: two modes, all included, seperate
232 o saffron: add non-US
233 o saffron: add ability to control components, architectures, archives, suites
234 o saffron: add key to expand header
236 ================================================================================
241 o change utils.copy to try rename() first
243 o [hard, long term] unchecked -> accepted should go into the db, not
244 a suite, but similar. this would allow katie to get even faster,
245 make madison more useful, decomplexify specialacceptedautobuild
246 and generally be more sane. may even be helpful to have e.g. new
247 in the DB, so that we avoid corner cases like the .orig.tar.gz
248 disappearing 'cos the package has been entirely removed but was
249 still on stayofexecution when it entered new.
251 o Logging [mostly done] (todo: rhona (hard), .. ?)
253 o jennifer: the tar extractor class doesn't need to be redone for each package
255 o reverse of source-must-exist; i.e. binary-for-source-must-not-exist
256 o REJECT reminders in shania.
257 o fernanda should check for conflicts and warn about them visavis priority [rmurray]
258 o store a list of removed/files versions; also compare against them.
259 [but be careful about scalability]
261 o fernanda: print_copyright should be a lot more intelligent
262 @ handle copyright.gz
263 @ handle copyright.ja and copyright
264 @ handle (detect at least) symlinks to another package's doc directory
265 @ handle and/or fall back on source files (?)
267 o To incorporate from utils:
270 o auto-purge out-of-date stuff from non-free/contrib so that testing and stuff works
271 o doogie's binary -> source index
272 o jt's web stuff, matt's changelog stuff (overlap)
274 o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs.
276 o experimental needs to auto clean (relative to unstable) [partial: rene warns about this]
278 o Do a checkpc(1)-a-like which sanitizes a config files.
279 o fix parse_changes()/build_file_list() to sanity check filenames
280 o saftey check and/or rename debs so they match what they should be
283 o Need to optimize all the queries by using EXAMINE and building some INDEXs.
284 [postgresql 7.2 will help here]
285 o Need to enclose all the setting SQL stuff in transactions (mostly done).
286 o Need to finish alyson (a way to sync katie.conf and the DB)
287 o Need the ability to rebuild all other tables from dists _or_ pools (in the event of disaster) (?)
288 o Make the --help and --version options do stuff for all scripts
290 o charisma can't handle whitespace-only lines (for the moment, this is feature)
292 o generic way of saying isabinary and isadsc. (?)
294 o s/distribution/suite/g
297 @ weekly postins to d-c (?)
298 @ backup of report (?)
299 @ backup of changes.tgz (?)
301 o --help doesn't work without /etc/katie/katie.conf (or similar) at
304 o rename andrea (clashes with existing andrea)...
308 o interrupting of stracing jennifer causes exceptions errors from apt_inst calls
309 o dependency checking (esp. stable) (partially done)
310 o override checks sucks; it needs to track changes made by the
311 maintainer and pass them onto ftpmaster instead of warning the
313 o need to do proper rfc822 escaping of from lines (as opposed to s/\.//g)
314 o Revisit linking of binary->source in install() in katie.
315 o Fix component handling in overrides (aj)
316 o Fix lack of entires in source overrides (aj)
317 o direport misreports things as section 'devel' (? we don't use direport)
318 o vrfy check of every Maintainer+Changed-By address; valid for 3 months.
319 o binary-all should be done on a per-source, per-architecture package
320 basis to avoid, e.g. the perl-modules problem.
321 o a source-missing-diff check: if the version has a - in it, and it
322 is sourceful, it needs orig and diff, e.g. if someone uploads
323 esound_0.2.22-6, and it is sourceful, and there is no diff ->
324 REJECT (version has a dash, therefore not debian native.)
325 o check linking of .tar.gz's to .dsc's.. see proftpd 1.2.1 as an example
326 o archive needs md5sum'ed regularly, but takes too long to do all
327 in one go; make progressive or weekly.
328 o katie/jenna/rhona/whatever needs to clear out .changes
329 files from p-u when removing stuff superseded by newer versions.
330 [but for now we have halle]
331 o test sig checking stuff in test/ (stupid thing is not modularized due to global abuse)
332 o when encountering suspicous things (e.g. file tainting) do something more drastic
336 o suite mapping and component mapping are parsed per changes file,
337 they should probably be stored in a dictionary created at startup.
338 o don't stat/md5sum files you have entries for in the DB, moron
339 boy (Katie.check_source_blah_blah)
340 o promote changes["changes"] to mandatory in katie.py(dump_vars)
341 after a month or so (or all .katie files contain in the queue
343 o melanie should behave better with -a and without -b; see
344 gcc-defaults removal for an example.
345 o Reject on misconfigured kernel-package uploads
346 o utils.extract_component_from_section: main/utils -> main/utils, main rather than utils, main
347 o Fix jennier to warn if run when not in incoming or p-u
348 o katie should validate multi-suite uploads; only possible valid one
350 o cron.daily* should change umask (aj sucks)
351 o Rene doesn't look at debian-installer but should.
352 o Rene needs to check for binary-less source packages.
353 o Rene could accept a suite argument (?)
354 o byhand stuff should send notification
355 o catherine should udpate db; move files, not the other way around [neuro]
356 o melanie should update the stable changelog [joey]
361 o drop rather dubious currval stuff (?)
362 o rationalize os.path.join() usage
363 o Rene also doesn't seem to warn about missing binary packages (??)
364 o logging: hostname + pid ?
365 o ANAIS should be done in katie (?)
366 o Add an 'add' ability to melanie (? separate prog maybe)
367 o Replicate old dinstall report stuff (? needed ?)
368 o Handle the case of 1:1.1 which would overwrite 1.1 (?)
369 o maybe drop -r/--regex in madison, make it the default and
370 implement -e/--exact (a la joey's "elmo")
371 o dsc files are not checked for existence/perms (only an issue if
372 they're in the .dsc, but not the .changes.. possible?)
376 o db_access' get_files needs to use exceptions not this None, > 0, < 0 return val BS (?)
377 o The untouchable flag doesn't stop new packages being added to ``untouchable'' suites
379 ================================================================================
384 o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?)
386 ================================================================================

524 1) The most common chipset used in Pentium-II machines is the Intel 440BX. It is also relatively common in slower P-IIIs, and is approximately identical to the 440MX (a one-chip version aimed at laptops).
526 2) The 440BX has the interesting feature of only being able to address up to 128MBit density RAM. This is a relatively widely known issue.
528 3) Simple maths suggests that if you have a 128MB DIMM with 4 chips on it, they are likely to be 256MBit parts.
530 4) Marking said DIMMs as being suitable for Pentium-IIs is therefore really indescribably stupid, you wankwits. Please fuck off and die in a great big chemical fire before I get back there to beat you.
