0. Bug fixes:
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- cross building problems:
|
||
|
|
- --sign doesn't work properly with multiple platforms
|
||
|
|
- it rebuilds the source rpms, which is a problem
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Stuff that are critical for future development:
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- new macros for building, jbj
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- fix RPM installation API to deal with sets of packages rather than
|
||
|
|
individual packages, ewt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- have configure check for db_185.h (rg)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Features that are of definite interest
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- getting rid of all the arch specific macros in lib/rpmrc.c
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- An RPM repository, with a database to store packages of different
|
||
|
|
versions and architectures. This would facilite installation greatly,
|
||
|
|
and allow for packages to have registered repositories. The intended
|
||
|
|
protocol is HTTP. ewt, adv
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- More flexible hardware and operating system tags, expanding the
|
||
|
|
current Arch and OS tags to include flexible support for things
|
||
|
|
like Arch version and OS version. The intention is to build in
|
||
|
|
boolean operators.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- redo dependancy checking to take file conflicts into account
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- make package ordering during upgrades more robust (ewt)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- PGP 5.0 support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- bzip2 compression
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. No-hurry features that would be considered
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Fat RPM support, and a _seperate_ builder (partly done, adv)
|
||
|
