1==========
2Rough TODO
3==========
4
5- pmaint (sync, quickpkging/non-merge pkg transfering, cache transfering)
6
7- look into converting MULTILIB_STRICT* crap over to a trigger
8
9- install-sources trigger
10
11- collision-protect trigger
12
13- recreate verify-rdepends also
14
15- sandbox and fakeroot don't work right now (doesn't properly disable)
16
17- sync subsystem.
18  Threw out the old refactoring, too portage specific; exists in
19  sandbox/dead_code , design sucked also.
20
21- observer objects for reporting back events from merging/unmerging
22  cpython 'tee' is needed, contact harring for details.
23  elog is bound to this also
24
25- Possibly convert to cpython:
26
27  - flat_hash.database._parse_data
28  - metadata.database._parse_data
29  - posixpath (os.path)
30
31- Rework digest api to allow running checksums in parallel.
32  Meaning: don't load the file three times for applying three checksums.
33  Need to work out how to do this with fchksum and the "size" checksum.
34
35- pkgcore.fetchable.__init__: __eq__/__hash__
36
37- get the tree clean of direct /var/db/pkg access
38
39- vdb2 format (ask harring for details).
40
41- verify proper temporal handling of rdep blockers when a pkg gets dumped
42  from the graph (namely, boot the block).
43
44- pkgcore.fs.ops.merge_contents; doesn't rewite the contents set when a file
45  it's mergeing is relying on symlinked directories for the full path; eg,
46  /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled -> /var/blah, it records the former instead of
47  recording the true absolute path.
48
49- pmerge exit code; ambiguousquery doesn't seem to result in ret != 0
50
51- pmerge mods; [ --skip-set SET ] , [ --skip atom ], use similar restriction
52  to --replace to prefer vdb for matching atoms
53
54- info regeneration trigger
55
56- refactor pkgcore.ebuild.cpv.ver_cmp usage to avoid full cpv parsing when
57  _cpv is in use;
58  'nuff said, look in pkgcore.ebuild.cpv.cpy_ver_cmp
59
60- finish off trigger registration
61
62  Right now it's hardcoded in merge.engine; this sucks, need to convert the
63  gentoo specific triggers over to being registered on the fly via
64  domain/configuration.
65 
66- testing of fakeroot integration
67
68  it was working back in the ebd branch days; things have changed since then
69  (heavily), enabling/disabling should work fine, but will need to take a look
70  at the contentset generation to ensure perms/gid leaks through correctly.
71
72- modify repository.prototype.tree.match to take an optional comparison
73
74  reasoning being that if we're just going to do a max, pass in the max so it
75  has the option of doing the initial sorting without passing through
76  visibility filters (which will trigger metadata lookups)
77
78- pkgcore.config.central features
79
80  These may or may not be picked off as development continues; the main
81  requirement for this functionality is plugins, which the framework
82  intends... so... prior to a release, it will be added.
83
84  - needs method to do lookups of further object restrictions/section_ref/etc
85    from a common dir, based on name.  this one requires some thought;
86    essentially, if loading portage-mysql.cache, try 1, or try this opt,
87    look in a dir the plugins ebuild can install a section conf tweak, and
88    use it.
89  - configuration 'types' , list, bool, str, etc, should be extendable, lifted
90    from a config most likely.  Defaults should be avail in code, but should
91    have a method of extending it
92  - integration of make.globals type data; defaults effectively, but a bit
93    more complex.
94
95- 'app bundles'.  Reliant on serious overhauling of deps to do 'locked deps',
96  but think of it as rpath based app stacks, a full apache stack compiled to
97  run from /opt/blah for example.
98
99- pkgcore.ebuild.gpgtree
100
101  derivative of pkgcore.ebuild.ebuild_repository, this overloads
102  ebuild_factory and eclass_cache so that gpg checks are done.
103  This requires some hackery, partially dependant on config.central changes
104  (see above).  Need a way to specify the trust ring to use, 'severity' level
105  (different class targets works for me).
106  Anyone who implements this deserves massive cookies.
107
108- pkgcore.ebuild.gpgprofile:
109  Same as above.
110
111- pkgcore.fetch.bundled_lib:
112  clean this beast up.
113
114- IPV6 handling:
115  bug 37124 # syncing
116  check over BINHOST code replacement for any code that resolve to a specific
117  IP
118
119- locking unification.  see plugins for an example of why it's needed
