+================================================================================
+
+Others
+------
+
+ o cindy should remove the src-only override when a binary+source override
+ exists
+
+ o reject on > or < in a version constraint
+
+23:07 < aba> elmo: and, how about enhancing rene to spot half-dropped
+ binaries on one arch (i.e. package used to build A and B, but B is
+ no longer built on some archs)?
+
+ o tabnanny the source
+
+ o drop map-unreleased
+
+ o check email only portions of addresses match too, iff the names
+ don't, helps with the "James Troup <james@nocrew.org>"
+ vs. "<james@nocrew.org>" case.
+
+ o ensure .dsc section/prio match .changes section/prio
+
+ o rhona's kind of crap when asked to remove a lot of files (e.g. 2k
+ or so).
+
+ o we don't handle the case where an identical orig.tar.gz is
+ mentioned in the .changes, but not in unchecked; but should we
+ care?
+
+ o madison could do better sanity checking for -g/-G (e.g. not more
+ than one suite, etc.)
+
+ o use python2.2-tarfile (once it's in stable?) to check orig.tar.gz
+ timestamps too.
+
+ 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
+ in queue/new...
+
+<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 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
+
+ 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 (?)
+
+ o <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 <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 SecurityQueueBuild 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
+ * conflicts
+ * 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)
+
+ 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 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 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 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 (?)
+
+ 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
+
+================================================================================
+
+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.
+
+================================================================================
+
+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: 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 (?)
+
+ 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 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 (?)
