+ o need to decide on whether we're tying for most errors at once.. if
+ so (probably) then make sure code doesn't assume variables exist and
+ either way do something about checking error code of check_dsc and
+ later functions so we skip later checks if they're bailing.
+
+ o the .katie stuff is fundamentally braindamaged, it's not versioned
+ so there's no way to change the format, yay me. need to fix.
+ probably by putting a version var as the first thing and checking
+ that.. auto-upgrade at least from original format would be good.
+ might also be a good idea to put everything in one big dict after
+ that?
+
+ o [?, wishlist, distant future] RFC2047-ing should be extended to
+ all headers of mails sent out.
+
+ o reject sparc64 binaries in a non '*64*' package.
+
+ o katie.py(source_exists): a) we take arguments as parameters that
+ we could figure out for ourselves (we're part of the Katie class
+ after all), b) we have this 3rd argument which defaults to "any"
+ but could in fact be dropped since no one uses it like that.
+
+ o jennifer: doesn't handle bin-only NMUs of stuff still in NEW,
+ BYHAND or ACCEPTED (but not the pool) - not a big deal, upload can
+ be retried once the source is in the archive, but still.
+
+ o security global mail overrides should special case buildd stuff so
+ that buildds get ACCEPTED mails (or maybe amber (?)), that way
+ upload-security doesn't grow boundlessly.
+
+ o amber should upload sourceful packages first, otherwise with big
+ packages (e.g. X) and esp. when source is !i386, half the arches
+ can be uploaded without source, get copied into queue/unaccepted
+ and promptly rejected.
+
+ o rene's NVIU check doesn't catch cases where source package changed
+ name, should check binaries too. [debian-devel@l.d.o, 2004-02-03]
+
+ o cnf[melanie::logfile] is misnamed...
+
+<aj> i'd be kinda inclined to go with insisting the .changes file take
+ the form ---- BEGIN PGP MESSAGE --- <non -- BEGIN/END lines> --
+ BEGIN PGP SIG -- END PGP MESSAGE -- with no lines before or after,
+ and rejecting .changes that didn't match that
+
+ o rene should check for source packages not building any binaries
+
+ o heidi should have a diff mode that accepts diff output!
+
+ o halle doesn't deal with melanie'd packages, partial replacements
+ etc. and more.
+
+ o lauren, the tramp, blindly deletes with no check that the delete
+ failed which it might well given we only look for package/version,
+ not package/version _in p-u_. duh.
+
+ o melanie should remove obsolete changes when removing from p-u, or
+ at least warn. or halle should handle it.
+
+ o need a testsuite _badly_
+
+ o lisa should have an Bitch-Then-Accept option
+
+ o jennifer crashes if run as a user in -n mode when orig.tar.gz is

+
+<elmo_home> [<random>maybe I should reject debian packages with a non-Debian origin or bugs field</>]
+<Kamion> [<random>agreed; dunno what origin does but non-Debian bugs fields would be bad]
+
+ o rhona should make use of select..except select, temporary tables
+ etc. rather than looping and calling SQL every time so we can do
+ suite removal sanely (see potato-removal document)
+
+ o melanie will happily include packages in the Cc list that aren't
+ being removed...
+
+ o melanie doesn't remove udebs when removing the source they build from
+
+ o check_dsc_against_db's "delete an entry from files while you're
+ not looking" habit is Evil and Bad.
+
+ o lisa allows you to edit the section and change the component, but
+ really shouldn't.
+
+ o melanie needs to, when not sending bug close mails, promote Cc: to
+ To: and send the mail anyways.
+
+ o the lockfile (Archive_Maintenance_In_Progress) should probably be in a conf file
+
+ o madison should cross-check the b.source field and if it's not null
+ and s.name linked from it != the source given in
+ -S/--source-and-binary ignore.
+
+ o lauren sucks; she should a) only spam d-i for sourceful
+ rejections, b) sort stuff so she rejects sourceful stuff first. the
+ non-sourceful should probably get a form mail, c) automate the
+ non-sourceful stuff (see b).
+
+ o jennifer should do q-d stuff for faster AA [ryan]
+
+ o split the morgue into source and binary so binaries can be purged first!
+
+ o per-architecture priorities for things like different arch'es
+ gcc's, silly BSD libftw, palo, etc.
+
o use postgres 7.2's built-in stat features to figure out how indices are used etc.
o neve shouldn't be using location, she should run down suites instead
o UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
o Log stuff should open the log file
- o [melanie] bomb out if a) no '[rene]' in the -m/--message, and b)
- no other -d/--done or -C/--carbon-copy
-
o helena should footnote the actual notes, and also * the versions
with notes so we can see new versions since being noted...
o <neuro> 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

+Dear PC World,
+
+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).
+
+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.
+
+3) Simple maths suggests that if you have a 128MB DIMM with 4 chips on it, they are likely to be 256MBit parts.
+
+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.
+
+Love,
+
+Matthew.
+
+PS,
+
+Die. No, really.
