1386 Infrastructure problems which need addressing
1387 =============================================
1389 o Correct and consistent handling of file names containing
1390 white-space and other special characters.
1392 o bootstrap building of gcc2/gcc3.
1394 Licenses of packages
1395 ====================
1397 [This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
1398 licensing framework.]
1400 o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
1401 license". This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
1402 operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
1403 neutral as possible as such issues. The documentation
1404 should be adjusted to instead refer to the user instructing
1405 pkgsrc not to refrain from building packages with such a
1406 license tag. This is awkward, so a shorter phrase is needed
1407 which does not give the impression of a contract.
1409 Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
1410 =============================
1412 o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.
1414 o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
1415 doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).
1417 o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
1418 man pages depending on OS (typically imake).
1420 o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
1421 of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
1422 called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
1423 such environment variables.
1425 o Add framework to generate messages (lines) for email to send
1426 to PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS after pkg install/deinstall, for
1429 - msgprint() messages
1430 - CONF_FILES*, SUPPORT_FILES* installation/customization
1431 - OWN_DIRS* messages (from PKG_CONFIG=NO)
1432 - User/group changes (PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=YES)
1433 - /etc/shells changes (PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS=YES)
1434 - pkg-specific rc.d script instructions
1435 (Consider renaming PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS as well.)
1437 o Add a facility to execute a makefile fragment if a variable
1438 is or is not a member of a list (e.g., ${OPSYS} in a list of
1441 o Consider defining a list of Open Source operating systems,
1442 to be used for packages like x11/openmotif that set
1443 NO_*_ON_* for non-open-source systems.
1445 o Make "pkg_install -u" clear the unsafe_depends* and rebuild
1446 tags, and set unsafe_depends* on depending packages,
1447 following the behavior of make replace.
1449 o Figure out a way to have "pkg_install -u", probably with a
1450 flag, preserve the value of the automatic tag. We do not
1451 have consensus on the right behavior.
1453 Suggested other platform enhancements
1454 =====================================
1456 o platform independent bulk build infrastructure
1458 o update the binary bootstrap kits in
1459 ftp.NetBSD.org:/pub/pkgsrc/packages/OS/arch/version-branch/
1461 Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
1462 ============================
1464 o Make packages install their configuration files under the
1465 examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
1466 to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.
1468 o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
1469 USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).
1470 Affects: cross/h8300-hms-binutils, cross/h8300-hms-gcc,
1471 sysutils/apcupsd, sysutils/gnometoaster,
1472 sysutils/mtoolsfm, sysutils/xnc
1474 o Install documentation consistently into share/doc/${PKGBASE} or
1475 share/doc/${PKGNAME}, not share/doc/html.
1477 o Remove USE_X11BASE if there is no good reason to install a
1478 package into X11BASE.
1480 o Convert packages to use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
1482 o Convert packages to use bsd.options.mk instead of various
1483 FOO_USE_* variables.
1485 o Fix packages installing manual pages under share/man to install
1486 them directly under man.
1487 Affects: net/tsclient
1489 o Convert packages to use generic install scripts where possible
1490 (for example, mail/majordomo).
1492 o Remove the redundancy of builtin.mk files by factoring out the
1493 most commonly used cases into a well-documented file. For
1494 example, x11/kbproto/builtin.mk and x11/libXrender/builtin.mk
1495 almost look the same.
1497 o Replace inclusion mk/tex.buildlink3.mk (pulling in a lot of
1498 tex packages) with (build) dependencies on the appropriate
1499 split tex packages. In case styles are used, look for
1500 \RequirePackage{...}.
