1401 Infrastructure problems which need addressing
1402 =============================================
1404 o Correct and consistent handling of file names containing
1405 white-space and other special characters.
1407 o Bootstrap building of gcc2/gcc3.
1409 Licenses of packages
1410 ====================
1412 [This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
1413 licensing framework.]
1415 o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
1416 license". This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
1417 operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
1418 neutral as possible as such issues. The documentation
1419 should be adjusted to instead refer to the user instructing
1420 pkgsrc not to refrain from building packages with such a
1421 license tag. This is awkward, so a shorter phrase is needed
1422 which does not give the impression of a contract.
1424 Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
1425 =============================
1427 o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.
1429 o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
1430 doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).
1432 o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
1433 man pages depending on OS (typically imake).
1435 o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
1436 of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
1437 called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
1438 such environment variables.
1440 o Add framework to generate messages (lines) for email to send
1441 to PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS after pkg install/deinstall, for
1444 - msgprint() messages
1445 - CONF_FILES*, SUPPORT_FILES* installation/customization
1446 - OWN_DIRS* messages (from PKG_CONFIG=NO)
1447 - User/group changes (PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=YES)
1448 - /etc/shells changes (PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS=YES)
1449 - pkg-specific rc.d script instructions
1450 (Consider renaming PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS as well.)
1452 o Add a facility to execute a makefile fragment if a variable
1453 is or is not a member of a list (e.g., ${OPSYS} in a list of
1456 o Consider defining a list of Open Source operating systems,
1457 to be used for packages like x11/openmotif that set
1458 NO_*_ON_* for non-open-source systems.
1460 o Make "pkg_install -u" clear the unsafe_depends* and rebuild
1461 tags, and set unsafe_depends* on depending packages,
1462 following the behavior of make replace.
1464 o Figure out a way to have "pkg_install -u", probably with a
1465 flag, preserve the value of the automatic tag. We do not
1466 have consensus on the right behavior.
1468 Suggested other platform enhancements
1469 =====================================
1471 o Platform independent bulk build infrastructure
1473 o Update the binary bootstrap kits in
1474 ftp.NetBSD.org:/pub/pkgsrc/packages/OS/arch/version-branch/
1476 Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
1477 ============================
1479 o Make packages install their configuration files under the
1480 examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
1481 to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.
1483 o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
1484 USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).
1485 Affects: cross/h8300-hms-binutils, cross/h8300-hms-gcc,
1486 sysutils/apcupsd, sysutils/gnometoaster,
1487 sysutils/mtoolsfm, sysutils/xnc
1489 o Install documentation consistently into share/doc/${PKGBASE} or
1490 share/doc/${PKGNAME}, not share/doc/html.
1492 o Remove USE_X11BASE if there is no good reason to install a
1493 package into X11BASE.
1495 o Convert packages to use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
1497 o Convert packages to use bsd.options.mk instead of various
1498 FOO_USE_* variables.
1500 o Fix packages installing manual pages under share/man to install
1501 them directly under man.
1502 Affects: net/tsclient
1504 o Convert packages to use generic install scripts where possible
1505 (for example, mail/majordomo).
1507 o Remove the redundancy of builtin.mk files by factoring out the
1508 most commonly used cases into a well-documented file. For
1509 example, x11/kbproto/builtin.mk and x11/libXrender/builtin.mk
1510 almost look the same.
1512 o Replace inclusion mk/tex.buildlink3.mk (pulling in a lot of
1513 tex packages) with (build) dependencies on the appropriate
1514 split tex packages. In case styles are used, look for
1515 \RequirePackage{...}.
