     1.5 +Things that need to be completed
     1.6 +================================
     1.7 +
     1.8 +This installer was written for GNUPanel, however I hope to keep it useful for
     1.9 +any program that needs a 'smart' distro agnostic installer. This goal makes
    1.10 +writing things a little interesting since this becomes two tasks at once.
    1.11 +
    1.12 +The following stuff needs to be done, broken down into two categories. One
    1.13 +is GNUPanel specific, the other is program specific. GNUPanel specific things
    1.14 +will not be part of this program once it is distributed stand-alone.
    1.15 +
    1.16 +GNUPanel Specific Tasks
    1.17 +-----------------------
    1.18 +
    1.19 + * Translate meta package names from Debian to RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
    1.20 + * Re-write install scripts (once new code base is done) (tasks.in)
    1.21 +
    1.22 +Unistaller Specific Tasks
    1.23 +--------------------------
    1.24 +
    1.25 + * Create functions to wrap cp, install that also write the opposite
    1.26 +   action to an uninstall file.
    1.27 +
    1.28 + * Add dialog hooks to show progress and gather input from the user if
    1.29 +   they specified dialog as being OK to use
    1.30 +
    1.31 + * Re-do the short options in 'setup' (in getopt), they're a little
    1.32 +   hap hazard. -s -A -r -I -P -l is rather confusing.
    1.33 +
    1.34 + * Make a print_err that prints stuff to stderr, use it where appropriate.
    1.35 +
    1.36 + * Let a SRCTREE be defined in setup.in, create a function to recursively
    1.37 +   scan for top level 'configure' programs so that install.sh invokes them
    1.38 +   with user preferences (--prefix, etc) and calls typical make functions.
    1.39 +
    1.40 + * Lines should end at 80 columns, all functions need a little clean up in
    1.41 +   that regard.
    1.42 +
    1.43 + * Clean up variable consistency. ${variables} should only be braced when
    1.44 +   concantenated with other strings, i.e.
    1.45 +    "a b c d e"
    1.46 +     ... or
    1.47 +    /path/to/${VARIABLE}/inc${VARIABLE1}/${VARIABLE3}
    1.48 +     ... or the above, in quotes.
    1.49 +
    1.50 + * (eventually) get rid of getopt in 'setup' since some shells do not shift
    1.51 +   at all. Low priority since most will shift at least two places in a loop
    1.52 +   after eval/set has been invoked. The only place 'shift' is invoked is
    1.53 +   during argv[] processing in setup.
    1.54 +
    1.55 + * (fully) test shell capabilities, such as unset, full variable scope (ro/rw)
    1.56 +   and set globals to indicate if they work, i.e. SHELL_HAS_UNSET, SHELL_HAS_TRUE,
    1.57 +   SHELL_HAS_FALSE, SHELL_HAS_SHIFT. These are useful in tasks.in so that
    1.58 +   maintainers can deposit cleaner versions of things that use these built ins
    1.59 +   if they exist, or deposit clunky work arounds if they don't. Low priority.
    1.60 +
    1.61 + * reduce length of comments since # .... > 1024 bytes breaks buffers in some
    1.62 +   older brain-dead shells.
    1.63 +
    1.64 + * A lot of things can be done neater and still remain portable, on-going task.
