================================================================================

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 lisa can't handle non-existent .changes files

  o lisa doesn't handle :q! from rejections well at all

  o lisa exits if you check twice (aj)

More Urgent
-----------

  o jenna sucks

  o queued and/or perl on sparc stable sucks

  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 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)

  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).

  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 +
      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 (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 testing-updates suite: if binary-only and version << version in
    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 morgue needs auto-cleaning (?)

================================================================================

Less Urgent
-----------

  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 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 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.
  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 (?)

 * Harder:

    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 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)
    o when encountering suspicous things (e.g. file tainting) do something more drastic

 * Easy:

    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 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]
    o update tagdb.dia
  
 * Bizzare/uncertain:
   
    o validate source consistency, i.e. .dsc and .tar.gz as minimum (??)
    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 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")
  
 * 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
    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

================================================================================

Packaging
---------

  o Fix stuff to look in sensible places for libs and config file in debian package (?)
