These are things that should get done at some point. Some are simple,
|
||
|
|
others are more complex and could be a while in development.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- add a [sibling] option to .PKGINFO -- used when only one of
|
||
|
|
the siblings can be installed at a time (eg, bsdinit,sysvinit)
|
||
|
|
- handle wildcards on the command line
|
||
|
|
- sort packages by package name in pacman.db
|
||
|
|
- manage conditional file installs (ie, 'info' pages)
|
||
|
|
- make sure program consistently returns a non-zero return code on
|
||
|
|
error, so scripts can rely on it
|
||
|
|
- maybe add a 'confirm every action' option for doing paranoid installs
|
||
|
|
- add better directory tracking
|
||
|
|
- use crux's pkgmk technique. $(make prefix=$PKG/usr install) then just
|
||
|
|
$(cd $PKG; tar czf $pkg.tar.gz *)
|
||
|
|
- add a consistency check operation
|
||
|
|
- change char[xxx] to char[PATH_MAX]
|
||
|
|
- add file locking to db
|
||
|
|
- add a --dbpath option
|
||
|
|
- dependency checking
|
||
|
|
- fetch files via ftp
|
||
|
|
- need to manage foreign package lists like apt
|
||
|
|
- handle .save files better (for more than just .conf files)
|
||
|
|
- upgrade currently does a double db backup; not really desirable
