1494 Infrastructure problems which need addressing
1495 =============================================
1497 o Correct and consistent handling of file names containing
1498 white-space and other special characters.
1500 o bootstrap building of gcc2/gcc3.
1502 Licenses of packages
1503 ====================
1505 [This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
1506 licensing framework.]
1508 o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
1509 license". This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
1510 operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
1511 neutral as possible as such issues. The documentation
1512 should be adjusted to instead refer to the user instructing
1513 pkgsrc not to refrain from building packages with such a
1514 license tag. This is awkward, so a shorter phrase is needed
1515 which does not give the impression of a contract.
1517 Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
1518 =============================
1520 o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.
1522 o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
1523 doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).
1525 o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
1526 man pages depending on OS (typically imake).
1528 o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
1529 of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
1530 called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
1531 such environment variables.
1533 o Add framework to generate messages (lines) for email to send
1534 to PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS after pkg install/deinstall, for
1537 - msgprint() messages
1538 - CONF_FILES*, SUPPORT_FILES* installation/customization
1539 - OWN_DIRS* messages (from PKG_CONFIG=NO)
1540 - User/group changes (PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP=YES)
1541 - /etc/shells changes (PKG_REGISTER_SHELLS=YES)
1542 - pkg-specific rc.d script instructions
1543 (Consider renaming PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS as well.)
1545 o Add a facility to execute a makefile fragment if a variable
1546 is or is not a member of a list (e.g., ${OPSYS} in a list of
1549 o Consider defining a list of Open Source operating systems,
1550 to be used for packages like x11/openmotif that set
1551 NO_*_ON_* for non-open-source systems.
1553 o Make "pkg_install -u" clear the unsafe_depends* and rebuild
1554 tags, and set unsafe_depends* on depending packages,
1555 following the behavior of make replace.
1557 o Figure out a way to have "pkg_install -u", probably with a
1558 flag, preserve the value of the automatic tag. We do not
1559 have consensus on the right behavior.
1561 Suggested other platform enhancements
1562 =====================================
1564 o platform independent bulk build infrastructure
1566 o update the binary bootstrap kits on
1567 ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/bootstrap-pkgsrc/
1569 Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
1570 ============================
1572 o Make packages install their configuration files under the
1573 examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
1574 to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.
1576 o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
1577 USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).
1578 Affects: cross/h8300-hms-binutils, cross/h8300-hms-gcc,
1579 cross/i386-netbsdpe, sysutils/apcupsd, sysutils/gnometoaster,
1580 sysutils/mtoolsfm, sysutils/xnc
1582 o Install documentation consistently into share/doc/${PKGBASE} or
1583 share/doc/${PKGNAME}, not share/doc/html.
1585 o Remove USE_X11BASE if there is no good reason to install a
1586 package into X11BASE.
1588 o Convert packages to use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
1590 o Convert packages to use bsd.options.mk instead of various
1591 FOO_USE_* variables.
1593 o Fix packages installing manual pages under share/man to install
1594 them directly under man.
1595 Affects: net/tsclient
1597 o Convert packages to use generic install scripts where possible
1598 (for example, mail/majordomo).
1600 o Remove the redundancy of builtin.mk files by factoring out the
1601 most commonly used cases into a well-documented file. For
1602 example, x11/kbproto/builtin.mk and x11/libXrender/builtin.mk
1603 almost look the same.
1605 o Replace inclusions of print/teTeX/module.mk and
1606 mk/tex.buildlink3.mk (pulling in a lot of tex packages)
1607 with (build) dependencies on the appropriate split tex
1608 packages. In case styles are used, look for
1609 \RequirePackage{...}.
