1393 Infrastructure problems which need addressing
1394 =============================================
1396 o Correct and consistent handling of file names containing
1397 white-space and other special characters.
1399 o bootstrap building of gcc2/gcc3.
1401 Licenses of packages
1402 ====================
1404 [This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
1405 licensing framework.]
1407 o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
1408 license". This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
1409 operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
1410 neutral as possible as such issues. The documentation
1411 should be adjusted to instead refer to the user instructing
1412 pkgsrc not to refrain from building packages with such a
1413 license tag. This is awkward, so a shorter phrase is needed
1414 which does not give the impression of a contract.
1416 Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
1417 =============================
1419 o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.
1421 o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
1422 doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).
1424 o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
1425 man pages depending on OS (typically imake).
1427 o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
1428 of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
1429 called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
1430 such environment variables.
1432 o Add framework to generate messages (lines) for email to send
1433 to PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS after pkg install/deinstall, for
1436 - msgprint() messages
1437 - CONF_FILES*, SUPPORT_FILES* installation/customization
1438 - OWN_DIRS* messages (from PKG_CONFIG=NO)
1439 - User/group changes (PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=YES)
1440 - /etc/shells changes (PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS=YES)
1441 - pkg-specific rc.d script instructions
1442 (Consider renaming PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS as well.)
1444 o Add a facility to execute a makefile fragment if a variable
1445 is or is not a member of a list (e.g., ${OPSYS} in a list of
1448 o Consider defining a list of Open Source operating systems,
1449 to be used for packages like x11/openmotif that set
1450 NO_*_ON_* for non-open-source systems.
1452 o Make "pkg_install -u" clear the unsafe_depends* and rebuild
1453 tags, and set unsafe_depends* on depending packages,
1454 following the behavior of make replace.
1456 o Figure out a way to have "pkg_install -u", probably with a
1457 flag, preserve the value of the automatic tag. We do not
1458 have consensus on the right behavior.
1460 Suggested other platform enhancements
1461 =====================================
1463 o platform independent bulk build infrastructure
1465 o update the binary bootstrap kits in
1466 ftp.NetBSD.org:/pub/pkgsrc/packages/OS/arch/version-branch/
1468 Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
1469 ============================
1471 o Make packages install their configuration files under the
1472 examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
1473 to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.
1475 o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
1476 USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).
1477 Affects: cross/h8300-hms-binutils, cross/h8300-hms-gcc,
1478 sysutils/apcupsd, sysutils/gnometoaster,
1479 sysutils/mtoolsfm, sysutils/xnc
1481 o Install documentation consistently into share/doc/${PKGBASE} or
1482 share/doc/${PKGNAME}, not share/doc/html.
1484 o Remove USE_X11BASE if there is no good reason to install a
1485 package into X11BASE.
1487 o Convert packages to use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
1489 o Convert packages to use bsd.options.mk instead of various
1490 FOO_USE_* variables.
1492 o Fix packages installing manual pages under share/man to install
1493 them directly under man.
1494 Affects: net/tsclient
1496 o Convert packages to use generic install scripts where possible
1497 (for example, mail/majordomo).
1499 o Remove the redundancy of builtin.mk files by factoring out the
1500 most commonly used cases into a well-documented file. For
1501 example, x11/kbproto/builtin.mk and x11/libXrender/builtin.mk
1502 almost look the same.
1504 o Replace inclusion mk/tex.buildlink3.mk (pulling in a lot of
1505 tex packages) with (build) dependencies on the appropriate
1506 split tex packages. In case styles are used, look for
1507 \RequirePackage{...}.
