13 Scripts used to help create rescue boot CDs for bare metal
14 restores with Bacula. Scripts exist for Linux, Solaris, and
15 FreeBSD. Hopefully the FreeBSD one could be adapted to create
16 a NetBSD one, or perhaps it could be turned into a *BSD script.

1192 Infrastructure problems which need addressing
1193 =============================================
1195 o Correct and consistent handling of file names containing
1196 white-space and other special characters.
1198 o Bootstrap building of gcc2/gcc3.
1200 Licenses of packages
1201 ====================
1203 [This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
1204 licensing framework.]
1206 o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
1207 license". This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
1208 operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
1209 neutral as possible as such issues. The documentation
1210 should be adjusted to instead refer to the user instructing
1211 pkgsrc not to refrain from building packages with such a
1212 license tag. This is awkward, so a shorter phrase is needed
1213 which does not give the impression of a contract.
1215 Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
1216 =============================
1218 o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.
1220 o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
1221 doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).
1223 o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
1224 man pages depending on OS (typically imake).
1226 o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
1227 of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
1228 called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
1229 such environment variables.
1231 o Add framework to generate messages (lines) for email to send
1232 to PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS after pkg install/deinstall, for
1235 - msgprint() messages
1236 - CONF_FILES*, SUPPORT_FILES* installation/customization
1237 - OWN_DIRS* messages (from PKG_CONFIG=NO)
1238 - User/group changes (PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=YES)
1239 - /etc/shells changes (PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS=YES)
1240 - pkg-specific rc.d script instructions
1241 (Consider renaming PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS as well.)
1243 o Add a facility to execute a makefile fragment if a variable
1244 is or is not a member of a list (e.g., ${OPSYS} in a list of
1247 o Consider defining a list of Open Source operating systems,
1248 to be used for packages like x11/openmotif that set
1249 NO_*_ON_* for non-open-source systems.
1251 o Make "pkg_install -u" clear the unsafe_depends* and rebuild
1252 tags, and set unsafe_depends* on depending packages,
1253 following the behavior of make replace.
1255 o Figure out a way to have "pkg_install -u", probably with a
1256 flag, preserve the value of the automatic tag. We do not
1257 have consensus on the right behavior.
1259 Suggested other platform enhancements
1260 =====================================
1262 o Platform independent bulk build infrastructure
1264 o Update the binary bootstrap kits in
1265 ftp.NetBSD.org:/pub/pkgsrc/packages/OS/arch/version-branch/
1267 Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
1268 ============================
1270 o Make packages install their configuration files under the
1271 examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
1272 to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.
1274 o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
1275 USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).
1276 Affects: cross/h8300-hms-binutils, cross/h8300-hms-gcc,
1277 sysutils/apcupsd, sysutils/gnometoaster,
1278 sysutils/mtoolsfm, sysutils/xnc
1280 o Install documentation consistently into share/doc/${PKGBASE} or
1281 share/doc/${PKGNAME}, not share/doc/html.
1283 o Remove USE_X11BASE if there is no good reason to install a
1284 package into X11BASE.
1286 o Convert packages to use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
1288 o Convert packages to use bsd.options.mk instead of various
1289 FOO_USE_* variables.
1291 o Fix packages installing manual pages under share/man to install
1292 them directly under man.
1293 Affects: net/tsclient
1295 o Convert packages to use generic install scripts where possible
1296 (for example, mail/majordomo).
1298 o Remove the redundancy of builtin.mk files by factoring out the
1299 most commonly used cases into a well-documented file. For
1300 example, x11/kbproto/builtin.mk and x11/libXrender/builtin.mk
1301 almost look the same.
1303 o Replace inclusion mk/tex.buildlink3.mk (pulling in a lot of
1304 tex packages) with (build) dependencies on the appropriate
1305 split tex packages. In case styles are used, look for
1306 \RequirePackage{...}.
1308 o Make the use of mktexlsr in the install and deinstall
1309 scripts for tex-* packages more efficient. If you install
1310 or deinstall many tex-* packages, you should be able to run
1311 mktexlsr once at the end of the entire operation, not once per
