[pacman-dev] TODO update

[Aurelien Foret]

Hello,

I've closed items:
[3] code synchro with pacman 2.9.8
[5a] db_write: database entries cleanup
[11] _alpm prefix to private library functions
On-going items:
[7] (vmiklos)
[8] (aurelien)
the .lastupdate code was moved from the library to the frontend.

FYI, I'm currently working on item [6]

Here is the updated TODO:

[2] possible db corruption because of pmsyncpkg_t struct:
the spkg field is just a pointer to data from the cache, which is likely
to change during sync_commit

[5] database cleanup
b) do not add name and version entries in "desc" file (already available
in the directory name), and also for .PKGINFO file (in makepkg)?
=> on hold for now

[6] more debug messages in libalpm
some parts of the code still remain obscure (file conflicts handling for
instance) even when running pacman with "--debug=-1"

[7] remove exit() calls from libalpm
the library should never call exit() but always return an error code to
the frontend (for instance, drop MALLOC macro)

[8] .lastupdate review
Is the .lastupdate file really needed? Using mtime isn't enough?

[9] review file conflict code
See this thread:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2006-February/000202.html

[10] pacman -Sw
Outputs are wrong compared to pacman 2.9
Do not use log callbacks when the -w is used? or filter all outputs in
trans.c depending on the downloadonly flag?

=> it should be done as the last step before a first release to avoid
introducing too much changes to the CVS code at once.
