Raw Development TODO Nov 2014

(2.0) 1.2.0 release goals

• Migrate to python3.
• Secure data channels (HTTPS, maybe SFTP).
• Speed optimizations (python code, algos, calls, reprepro, ...).

(2.1) Buglets (not bugs)

• [BUG] Uploader: GPG, not on keyserver: Is removed when running prepare.
• [BUG] when sbuild fails in setup stage, sbuild idles around (?)
• [BUG] chroot removal fails when no appr. archive exists (example =>vm154)

• [BUG] chroots: Sources used for bootstrapping stick. 'check' may fail when sources eventually become invalid.

  • => Use/update with current source when doing chroot 'check'.

• [BUG] (?) 'mini-buildd-tool -q' does not suppress server logs like "[hellfield] I: API call 'getsourceslist' by user 'AnonymousUser'"
• [BUG] Daemon change (for example: email regex): Needs start/stop to get active.

(2.2) Patches

New add-on like features, w/o need to change much of the infrastructure. These will most definitely come pretty soon in 1.2.x.

• [WISH] Include "super-portext" example.
• [REPOINFRA] use s.th. like "0SID" "0JESSIE" or "~SID" "~JESSIE" for non-numeric (unreleased) dist versions.
• [SEC] chroot sudoers: Detect old chroots, WARN and remove sudoers anyway.

• [WISH] Config option "mirrors"

  • API call 'mirrors'.
  • Bundle with API call getsourceslist (others?).
  • keyring package: sources.list library

• [WISH] pylint: Move all disabled tests from pylintrc to source code
• [WISH] Status: Add remove/migrate/?? to last packages

• [CHECK] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5147

  • Link to parts of the build log via fragment to text/plain

• [WISH] Make passive ftp port range configurable.
• [WISH] keyring: Auto-migrate keyring packages.
• [WISH] Library of predefined sbuild --chroot-setup-command snippets (eatmydata, ccache)
• [WISH] rm libeatmydata as default (?).
• [WISH] Web API should work with POST; we should use POST by default.
• [WISH] admin/model objects: Show "used by count" (so we can see what objects may be obsolete).
• [WISH] Archive: Rethink Archive::mbd_ping (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740576)

• DOC:

  • Remove doc/apidoc.py

• Cleanup /usr/share/doc/examples/:

  • python-mini-buildd vs mini-buildd
  • examples versus actual package data

• API: getsourceslist:

  • 'mini-buildd-tool vm154 getsourceslist --suite='(stable|stable-rollback0)' wheezy' should work
  • 'mini-buildd-tool vm154 getsourceslist --mirror=XXX

• BTRFS chroot backend

• 'Complete' per-upload config (More ways to influence build via changes magic lines):

  • New flags brainstorm:

    • OK: INTERNAL_APT_PRIORITY
    • DISTRIBUTION_APT_PRIORITY... ?
    • DEB_BUILDOPTIONS

• [FISH] API: port/portext: --extra-changelog-entry
