-TOFIX
-=====
+approved:
-Urgent
-------
+ 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 rewrite shania to a) be sane, b) clean REJECT properly
- (i.e. ignore the fact that stuff is in a valid .changes file and
- just clean the mofo)
+ o Whenever we check for anything in accepted we also need to check in
+ unapproved.
- o fix katie's handling of source packages in different directories;
- e.g. if a package moves from main to contrib, the .orig.tar.gz
- needs to what? copy or be moved and old source removed; one of the
- two.
+ 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.
+
+ 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.]
+
+================================================================================
+
+[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?
+
+Actually Urgent
+---------------
+
+ o UrgencyLog stuff should minimize it's bombing out(?)
+ o Log stuff should open the log file g+w lamer
+
+More Urgent
+-----------
+
+ o [melanie] I was thinking, 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 helena should have alternative sorting options, including reverse
+ and without or without differentiaion.
+
+ o julia should sync debadmin and ftpmaster
+
+ <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.
+
+<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 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 <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 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 +
table. Then fix charisma to use them and write some scripting
to handle the Santiago situation. ]
- o Add urgency + installed date to the DB for aj/testing (? still needed ?)
+ o (Depends) <aj> elmo: it should match \(\s*(<<|<|<=|=|>=|>|>>)\s*<VERSIONREGEXP>\) fwiw
+
+ o Clean up DONE; archive to tar file every 2 weeks, update tar tvzf INDEX file.
- o Disallow binary versions >> source except for bin-only NMUs (but:
- have to change sorting so that sourceful uploads are processed
- first).
+ 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 Revisit linking of binary->source in install() in katie.
+ o hooks or configurability for debian specific checks (e.g. check_urgency, auto-building support)
+
+ o morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)
+
+================================================================================
Less Urgent
-----------
- o configurize all the hardcoded Bcc's in mail templates
- o melanie (and possibly others) hardcode @*debian.org all over the shop
- o melanie should warn/error on -C without -d
+ o Accept "," as a seperator in -a, -s etc. args
- o ziyi shouldn't really do stable
+ o change utils.copy to try rename() first
- o need to have process_it run a big try: loop so that individual
- package screws up don't kill the daily cron run.
+ 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 Add an 'add' ability to melanie (? separate prog maybe)
- o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs.
- o [Easy] Need to vacuum daily
- o [Easy] remove empty directories in the pool in cron.weekly or so
+ o Logging [mostly done] (todo: rhona (hard), .. ?)
- o Fix dinstall to remove != stable on stable install, not just f + u
- o Fix 'mixed' component handling
- o Fix component handling in overrides (aj)
- o Fix lack of entires in source overrides (aj)
- o Fix rhona to unconditionally read override file on startup
- o Fix dinstall to warn if not in incoming or p-u
- o db_access' get_files needs to use exceptions not this None, > 0, < 0 return val BS (?)
- o check errors on apt_pkg calls (?)
- o The untouchable flag doesn't stop adding new packages
- o jenna needs to validate arguments (?)
+ o jennifer is leaking file descriptors..
-===================================================================================================
+ o the tar extractor class doesn't need to be redone for each package
-TODO
-====
+ 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]
-Packaging
----------
+ 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 Install python libraries (db_access and utils)
- o Install config file
- o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?)
- o man pages and/or documentation
+ o To incorporate from utils:
+ @ unreject
-Urgent
-------
+ 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 Secure incoming handling
- o [Hard] dependency checking
- o dpkg 1.7 Changed-By field support
- o Overrides for Maintainers
- o Kill orphaned
+ o [Hard] Need to merge non-non-US and non-US DBs.
-Less Urgent
------------
+ 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 Enable catherine (when daily mirror hit drops down below 300Mb maybe..)
o Improve andrea.
- o Need a poolifier that will poolify X mb a day.. (catherine)
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 log files for jenna, rhona and katie.
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 Need to check for .dsc when source is mentioned
-
- 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 charisma can't handle whitespace-only lines (for the moment, this is feature)
- o Should use $EDITOR, not hardcode vi
- o Should reject packages with bad timestamps
- o Replicate old dinstall report stuff (? needed ?)
- o Handle the case of 1:1.1 which would overwrite 1.1 (?)
- o aj's binary-all stuff (foo-doc depending on foo) (?)
- o heidi should report suite name not ID [aj]
-
- o fubar and warn/error wrappers like in C (?)
+
o generic way of saying isabinary and isadsc. (?)
- o substitution stuff (cf. userdir-ldap) for announce, reject etc.
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
+
