1 | WISHLIST: |
| 2 | --------- | |
| 3 | * Support rpm/deb files for reading the package from. (To allow the | |
| 4 | maintainers the use of rpm/deb tools to create packages.) | |
| 5 | * Make a librar(y|ies) for setup and cygcheck to use containing | |
| 6 | 1) Something to translate POSIX -> native. Currently called "cygpath" | |
| 7 | in setup, although this is probably a bad choice of name. | |
| 8 | 2) Something to return the list of installed packages. | |
| 9 | 3) Something to return the cygwin mount table. Currently, I have implemented | |
| 10 | a lightweight setmntent and getmntent using the code in | |
| 11 | 4) Something to parse a tar file name into package/version or alternatively, | |
| 12 | return that information from 2) | |
| 13 | 5) Something to return a list of files associated with a package. | |
| 14 | * Mark versions as prev/curr/test in the GUI when clicking through them. | |
| 15 | * Make setup.exe available through Add/Remove | |
| 16 | * Local package scan stops updating when it stops being the active window. | |
| 17 | * Some way to download *all* the source. | |
| 18 | * Incremental/recoverable download capability. | |
| 19 | * Build-depends. | |
| 20 | * FTP control connections should be closed when we are awaiting user input. | |
| 21 | * Show a sdesc for each category. | |
| 22 | * Add friendly error reporting to simpsock.cc. | |
| 23 | * Scan newly installed files for README files, show list to user, let them | |
| 24 | read them if they want. | |
| 25 | * Clicking on a package that is in multiple categories should update the view | |
| 26 | of the package in both locations on screen. - Done? | |
| 27 | * Remember the view mode - ie if you leave setup in partial, it returns to | |
| 28 | partial automatically. | |
| 29 | * Downloading from the internet should be _able_ to list based on what is | |
| 30 | present in the cache, as opposed to what is installed. (To help building a | |
| 31 | complete install set for a different machine). | |
| 32 | * New view - "action / category / package" | |
| 33 | * New view - show installed packages only. Probably not categorised. | |
| 34 | * Don't ask about the start menu or desktop options if they already exist. | |
| 35 | * Save the manual proxy settings so they don't need to be retyped. | |
| 36 | * Detect files in multiple packages. | |
| 37 | * Show bin and src download size. | |
| 38 | * Confirm cancellation of setup if in the middle of doing something. | |
| 39 | * Improve mirror selection UI. | |
| 40 | * Ability to "hold" the version of a package - i.e. never auto-upgrade. |
