xbps-src:
* Personalized scripts per template to unpack distfiles.
* Multiple URLs to download source distribution files, aliases, etc.
Something like ${sourceforge} to pick up any specified mirror on the list.
* Fix -C flag while building packages via chroot.
Packages:
* Create /etc/issue.
* Add a trigger for fc-cache.
* Add a trigger to (un)register users/groups. Currently packages that
require user/groups use custom INSTALL/REMOVE scripts, which adds
a lot of duplicated work.
* Add support to stop and restart package's OpenRC service while
removing and upgrading a package.
[PARTIAL: at pre-remove the services are stopped but not yet restarted]
* How to handle kernel package upgrades? dpkg seems to keep previous
package and its initramfs, and a dummy package depends on the latest one.
I think this is the best option.
* Fix initramfs-tools trigger for $pkgname != kernel.
* Fix initramfs-tools 'update-initramfs -a'.
* Fix HAL/PolicyKit for nonroot to be able to admin tasks.
* Fix loadkeys(1) incorrectly loading the olpc keymap vs qwerty.
xbps-bin:
* Add support to install binary packages without any repository.
* Add a flag to reinstall a package version that is already installed,
overwritting files on disk and updating required_by if required.
Perhaps change the automatic-install object to false, like pkg_install
from NetBSD do.
* Implement shell style match patterns with fnmatch() for install, update
and remove.
* Make -f flag to overwrite files when installing, and to ignore
files with wrong checksum or unexistent when removing.
[PARTIAL: only unexistent files are ignored when removing]
libxbps:
* Add support to upgrade packages but overwritting current files;
this will fix libc, sh and others. An "essential" boolean obj
seems to be a good way to find such packages, like dpkg.
[PARTIAL: files are overwritten but obsolete files are not
taken into account yet]
xbps-repo:
* Add support to add only specified packages, rather than looking
at all files in a directory.
* Add support for remote repositories, requires libfetch.
