TODO

+[NB: I use this as a thought record/scribble, not everything on here

+
================================================================================
Actually Urgent
---------------
- 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 UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
+ o Log stuff should open the log file g+w lamer
+<aj> elmo_home: (although, if you haven't already, you might want to add a `Reject: invalid character in Version:' check to katie sometime)
+<aj> elmo_home: (at least while auric's apt doesn't handle ~'s)
- o lisa can't handle non-existent .changes files
+More Urgent
+-----------
- o lisa doesn't handle :q! from rejections well at all
+ o permissions (paranoia, group write, etc.) configurability and overhaul
- o lisa exits if you check twice (aj)
+ o <M>ove option for lisa byhand proecessing
-More Urgent
------------
+ 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 jenna sucks
+ o lisa doesn't trap signals from fernanda properly
- o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks
+ o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks - reimplement it.
o aj's bin nmu changes
o trap fernanda exiting
o distinguish binary only versus others (neuro)
- o change utils.copy to try rename() first
-
o cache changes parsed from ordering (careful tho: would be caching
- .changes from world writable incoming, not holding)
+ .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 DONE
-
- o stable installs are FUBAR
- o clean fingerprint
- o fix up cron.weekly and/or shania
-
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).
unstable and source-ver ~= source-ver in testing; then map
unstable -> testing-updates ?
- o [Hard] dependency checking (esp. stable) (partially done)
-
- o hooks for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency)
-
- o Logging [mostly done]
-
- o Abstraction of suite hardcoding (q.v. progengy)
+ o hooks or configurability for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency, auto-building support)
o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)
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 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 To incorporate from utils:
@ unreject
- o katie could vrfy email addresses (?) [errge@]
o auto-purge out-of-date stuff from non-free/contrib so that testing and stuff works
o doogie's binary -> source index
- o Add urgency + installed date to the DB for aj/testing (? still needed ?)
o jt's web stuff, matt's changelog stuff (overlap)
o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs.
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) (?)
* 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 when dinstall is run in install mode but not as a cron job, it
- should probably run jenna to avoid madison originated user confusion
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'
+ 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 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)
+ 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 Rationalize config stuff.. Dir::Foo not Dir::FooDir [breaks other people??]
- Also Dir::Queue::Foo, not Dir::QueueFooDir
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 denise abuses sys.stdout == badly
o utils.extract_component_from_section: main/utils -> main/utils, main rather than utils, main
- o Fix katie to warn if run when not in incoming or p-u
- o check for empty debs; check for empty (or small (<1k ?)) .tar.gz's.
+ 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 run shania every day (?) [ryan]
- o we don't check for .orig.tar.gz's, so it's possible to upload -2 with no .orig.tar.gz.
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]
* Bizzare/uncertain:
- o validate source consistency, i.e. .dsc and .tar.gz as minimum (??)
+ 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 jenna should not delete things because they don't exist (?)
o logging: hostname + pid ?
o ANAIS should be done in katie (?)
o Add an 'add' ability to melanie (? separate prog maybe)
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 jenna is too slow
- o jenna doesn't handle arch: any -> arch: all transitions
- [aj worked around; need to revisit]
-
- * Stable:
-
-<neuro> well, there's one other thing that doesn't work so well
-<neuro> you probably should have stable_install ignore Closes:
-<neuro> or it might be unique to the case of stable unstable uploads
