- prtrej: add an option to operate on a different SYSROOT
- prtcheck: fall back gracefully to md5sums, for maintainers who do not use signatures
- prtverify: do not require "-c collection" in missing-deps or file-conflict modes;
when omitted, parse prt-get.conf to determine the active collections
- pkgsize: better handling of HTTP responses that do not include Content-Length
- pkgfoster: do not prompt for removal of ports that might satisfy optional dependencies
(once this feature is added to prt-get)
- prtreverse: decide whether to keep distributing this script with the tarball
(it hasn't been an install target since version 0.6.1)
- findredundantdeps: now that this test has been incorporated into prtverify, the
only benefit of a standalone script is the interactivity. Should we keep
distributing it, or let it vanish unceremoniously into the git history?
- finddeps: install both the gawk and the bash version, and let users decide which one
they prefer (with an alias in /etc/profile or a symlink)?
General:
- anticipate a possible rewrite of pkgutils. Coordinate with ukky and braewoods to
prepare for any backward-incompatible changes to the pkg database
- put privilege escalation functionality into a common file, sourced by each interactive
script that might be invoked as a regular user (e.g., prtrej, pkgfoster)
- unify argument parsing among the various similarly-named commands
(so the user does not have to remember which tools assume something about $PWD)
- look for more places where 'pkginfo -i' or 'pkginfo -l' can be replaced
- look for more places where the user might want to specify an alt root
- decide between /etc/ports/*.{httpup,rsync,git} and /etc/prt-get.conf, rather than let
different tools be governed by different configs
