TODO ==== [NB: I use this as a thought record/scribble, not everything on here makes sense and/or is actually ever going to get done, so IIWY I wouldn't use it as gospel for the future of katie or as a TODO list for random hacking.] ================================================================================ Actually Urgent --------------- o UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?) o Log stuff should open the log file g+w lamer More Urgent ----------- Can't read file.: /org/security.debian.org/queue/accepted/accepted/apache-perl_1.3.9-14.1-1.21.20000309-1_sparc.katie. You assume that the filenames are relative to accepted/, might want to doc or fix that. the orig was in NEW, the changes that caused it to be NEW were pulled out in -2, and we end up with no orig in the archive :( o SecurityAcceptedAutoBuild doesn't handle the case of foo_3.3woody1 with a new .orig.tar.gz followed by a foo_3.3potato1 with the same .orig.tar.gz; jennifer sees it and copes, but the AA code doesn't and can't really easily know so the potato AA dir is left with no .orig.tar.gz copy. doh. o orig.tar.gz in accepted not handled properly (?) o amber doesn't include .orig.tar.gz but it should o permissions (paranoia, group write, etc.) configurability and overhaul o remember duplicate copyrights in lisaand skip them, per package o ove option for lisa byhand proecessing o rene could do with overrides o db_access.get_location_id should handle the lack of archive_id properly o the whole versioncmp thing should be documented o lisa doesn't do the right thing with -2 and -1 uploads, as you can end up with the .orig.tar.gz not in the pool o lisa exits if you check twice (aj) o lisa doesn't trap signals from fernanda properly o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks - reimplement it. o aj's bin nmu changes o Lisa: * priority >> optional * arch != {any,all} * build-depends wrong (via andrea) * suid * conficlits * notification/stats to admin daily o trap fernanda exiting o distinguish binary only versus others (neuro) o cache changes parsed from ordering (careful tho: would be caching .changes from world writable incoming, not holding); katie should certainly be using .katie files, not parsing changes, that's just silly. o katie doesn't recognise binonlyNMUs correctly in terms of telling who their source is; source-must-exist does, but the info is not propogated down. o Fix BTS vs. katie sync issues by queueing(via BSMTP) BTS mail so that it can be released on deman (e.g. ETRN to exim). o write our own locking module or in some other way fix things so we don't require a patch to python since upstream refuse to fix it. o maintainers file needs overrides [ change override.maintainer to override.maintainer-from + override.maintainer-to and have them reference the maintainers table. Then fix charisma to use them and write some scripting to handle the Santiago situation. ] o (Depends) elmo: it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*\) fwiw o Clean up DONE; archive to tar file every 2 weeks, update tar tvzf INDEX file. o testing-updates suite: if binary-only and version << version in unstable and source-ver ~= source-ver in testing; then map unstable -> testing-updates ? o hooks or configurability for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency, auto-building support) o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?) ================================================================================ Less Urgent ----------- o Accept "," as a seperator in -a, -s etc. args o change utils.copy to try rename() first o [hard, long term] unchecked -> accepted should go into the db, not a suite, but similar. this would allow katie to get even faster, make madison more useful, decomplexify specialacceptedautobuild and generally be more sane. may even be helpful to have e.g. new in the DB, so that we avoid corner cases like the .orig.tar.gz disappearing 'cos the package has been entirely removed but was still on stayofexecution when it entered new. o Logging [mostly done] (todo: rhona (hard), .. ?) o jennifer is leaking file descriptors.. o the tar extractor class doesn't need to be redone for each package o reverse of source-must-exist; i.e. binary-for-source-must-not-exist o REJECT reminders in shania. o fernanda should check for conflicts and warn about them visavis priority [rmurray] o store a list of removed/files versions; also compare against them. [but be careful about scalability] o fernanda: print_copyright should be a lot more intelligent @ handle copyright.gz @ handle copyright.ja and copyright @ handle (detect at least) symlinks to another package's doc directory @ handle and/or fall back on source files (?) o To incorporate from utils: @ unreject o auto-purge out-of-date stuff from non-free/contrib so that testing and stuff works o doogie's binary -> source index o jt's web stuff, matt's changelog stuff (overlap) o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs. o experimental needs to auto clean (relative to unstable) [partial: rene warns about this] o Do a checkpc(1)-a-like which sanitizes a config files. o fix parse_changes()/build_file_list() to sanity check filenames o saftey check and/or rename debs so they match what they should be o Improve andrea. o Need to optimize all the queries by using EXAMINE and building some INDEXs. [postgresql 7.2 will help here] o Need to enclose all the setting SQL stuff in transactions (mostly done). o Need to finish alyson (a way to sync katie.conf and the DB) o Need the ability to rebuild all other tables from dists _or_ pools (in the event of disaster) (?) o Make the --help and --version options do stuff for all scripts o charisma can't handle whitespace-only lines (for the moment, this is feature) o generic way of saying isabinary and isadsc. (?) o s/distribution/suite/g o cron.weekly: @ weekly postins to d-c (?) @ backup of report (?) @ backup of changes.tgz (?) * Harder: o interrupting of stracing jennifer causes exceptions errors from apt_inst calls o dependency checking (esp. stable) (partially done) o override checks sucks; it needs to track changes made by the maintainer and pass them onto ftpmaster instead of warning the maintainer. o need to do proper rfc822 escaping of from lines (as opposed to s/\.//g) o Revisit linking of binary->source in install() in katie. o Fix component handling in overrides (aj) o Fix lack of entires in source overrides (aj) o direport misreports things as section 'devel' (? we don't use direport) o vrfy check of every Maintainer+Changed-By address; valid for 3 months. o binary-all should be done on a per-source, per-architecture package basis to avoid, e.g. the perl-modules problem. o a source-missing-diff check: if the version has a - in it, and it is sourceful, it needs orig and diff, e.g. if someone uploads esound_0.2.22-6, and it is sourceful, and there is no diff -> REJECT (version has a dash, therefore not debian native.) o check linking of .tar.gz's to .dsc's.. see proftpd 1.2.1 as an example o archive needs md5sum'ed regularly, but takes too long to do all in one go; make progressive or weekly. o katie/jenna/rhona/whatever needs to clear out .changes files from p-u when removing stuff superseded by newer versions. [but for now we have halle] o test sig checking stuff in test/ (stupid thing is not modularized due to global abuse) o when encountering suspicous things (e.g. file tainting) do something more drastic * Easy: o suite mapping and component mapping are parsed per changes file, they should probably be stored in a dictionary created at startup. o don't stat/md5sum files you have entries for in the DB, moron boy (Katie.check_source_blah_blah) o promote changes["changes"] to mandatory in katie.py(dump_vars) after a month or so (or all .katie files contain in the queue contain it). o melanie should behave better with -a and without -b; see gcc-defaults removal for an example. o Reject on misconfigured kernel-package uploads o utils.extract_component_from_section: main/utils -> main/utils, main rather than utils, main o Fix jennier to warn if run when not in incoming or p-u o katie should validate multi-suite uploads; only possible valid one is "stable unstable" o cron.daily* should change umask (aj sucks) o Rene doesn't look at debian-installer but should. o Rene needs to check for binary-less source packages. o Rene could accept a suite argument (?) o byhand stuff should send notification o catherine should udpate db; move files, not the other way around [neuro] o melanie should update the stable changelog [joey] o update tagdb.dia * Bizzare/uncertain: o drop rather dubious currval stuff (?) o rationalize os.path.join() usage o Rene also doesn't seem to warn about missing binary packages (??) o logging: hostname + pid ? o ANAIS should be done in katie (?) o Add an 'add' ability to melanie (? separate prog maybe) o Replicate old dinstall report stuff (? needed ?) o Handle the case of 1:1.1 which would overwrite 1.1 (?) o maybe drop -r/--regex in madison, make it the default and implement -e/--exact (a la joey's "elmo") o dsc files are not checked for existence/perms (only an issue if they're in the .dsc, but not the .changes.. possible?) * Cleanups & misc: o db_access' get_files needs to use exceptions not this None, > 0, < 0 return val BS (?) o The untouchable flag doesn't stop new packages being added to ``untouchable'' suites ================================================================================ Packaging --------- o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?) ================================================================================
