================================================================================
-Actually Urgent
----------------
+queue/approved
+--------------
+
+ o What to do with multi-suite uploads? Presumably hold in unapproved
+ and warn? Or what? Can't accept just for unstable or reject just
+ from stable.
+
+ o Whenever we check for anything in accepted we also need to check in
+ unapproved.
+
+ o non-sourceful uploads should go straight through if they have
+ source in accepted or the archive.
+
+ o security uploads on auric should be pre-approved.
+
+
+Others
+------
+
+ 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 halle needs to know about udebs
+
+ o by default hamstring katie's mail sending so that she won't send
+ anything until someone edits a script; she's been used far too
+ much to send spam atm :(
+
+ o $ftpdir/indices isn't created by rose because it's not in katie.conf
+
+ o sanity check depends/recommends/suggests too? in fact for any
+ empty field?
+
+[minor] kelly's copychanges, copykatie handling sucks, the per-suite
+ thing is static for all packages, so work out in advance dummy.
+
+[madison] # filenames ?
+[madison] # maintainer, component, install date (source only?), fingerprint?
o UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
- o Log stuff should open the log file g+w lamer
+ o Log stuff should open the log file
-More Urgent
------------
+ o helena should footnote the actual notes, and also * the versions
+ with notes so we can see new versions since being noted...
- <drow> 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.
+ o helena should have alternative sorting options, including reverse
+ and without or without differentiaion.
-<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 julia should sync debadmin and ftpmaster (?)
+
+ o <drow> Can't read file.:

+
+ 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
- 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 <M>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 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.
+ .changes from world writable incoming, not holding)
o katie doesn't recognise binonlyNMUs correctly in terms of telling
who their source is; source-must-exist does, but the info is not
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
-
+ 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) <aj> elmo: it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*<VERSIONREGEXP>\) fwiw
+ o Validate Depends (et al.) [it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*<VERSIONREGEXP>\)]
o Clean up DONE; archive to tar file every 2 weeks, update tar tvzf INDEX file.
o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)
+ o saffron: two modes, all included, seperate
+ o saffron: add non-US
+ o saffron: add ability to control components, architectures, archives, suites
+ o saffron: add key to expand header
+
================================================================================
Less Urgent
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 jennifer: 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.
@ backup of report (?)
@ backup of changes.tgz (?)
+ o --help doesn't work without /etc/katie/katie.conf (or similar) at
+ least existing.
+
+ o rename andrea (clashes with existing andrea)...
+
* Harder:
- o interrupting of stracing jennifer causes exceptions errors from apt_inst calls
+ 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
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 (??)
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:
-
+
+ * 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
o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?)
