+Things to do for opkg, in a partial order:

 
 

-Things to do for ipkg, in a partial order:
+1) Bug fixes

 
 

-0) Play with configure to check for strdup/strndup ( to works with replace/replace.h stuffs )
+1.a) fix all code marked "XXX: BUG"

 
 

-1) Fix incompatibilities between current C-based ipkg and original
-sh-based ipkg.
+1.b) fix all outstanding opkg bugzilla bugs

 
 

-1.a) Fix ipkg.conf options for http_proxy and friends. DONE:
-     http_proxy tested, (ftp_proxy, no_proxy, proxy_user, and
-     proxy_passwd have not been tested).
-
-1.b) Fix export of PKG_ROOT during pkg_run_script. DONE: tested.
-
-1.c) Fix so that a src with file:// is supported. DONE: tested.
-
-1.d) Fix paths in list files. DONE: tested.
-
-1.e) Fix offline_root mode. DONE: tested.
-
-2) Release ipkg as ipkg, (no longer as ipkg-unstable). This depends on
-   all of (1) being DONE. Although I might let this release proceed
-   without offline_root --- only Jamey will complain. ;-)
-
-3) Bug fixes
-
-3.a) fix all code marked "XXX: BUG"
-
-3.b) fix all outstanding ipkg bugzilla bugs
-
-3.c) conffiles support seems broken again. It's prompting on just
-     about every file. It might be because of file names beginning
-     with "///".
-       FIXED the "///" problem, (seemed harmless though), in 0.99.2
-       FIXED a problem with conffiles with -force-reinstall in 0.99.2.
-       This seems to be mostly working now, (I have seen strange
-       prompting on one out of the three ssh conffiles, maybe the
-       postinst script changed it? Hmmm... and something is going on
-       with pcmcia-cs too. Mysterious.)

-  Jamey thinks ipkg status should be brief give one line per package, while
-  ipkg info can continue to be verbose. 7/23/2002.
-
-3.i) Currently "ipkg install foo" will upgrade foo if possible. The
-  "Package foo is already installed" check needs to be moved up to
-  avoid this.

-     which the dependencies will no longer be met. DONE. 7/19/2002.
-
-4.d) Add support for:
-       ipkg install foo from some-feed
-       ipkg install foo-0.4.3
-       ipkg install foo-latest # Only needed if we add a feed-order-priority option

-4.e) Orphaned dependency management (what is this -Jamey 7/23/2002)
-
-4.f) Add code for HTTP GET to eliminate wget dependence, (see
-     apps/urlget for code). We should probably still keep the wget
-     call as a backup.
