+TODO.dan
+This is my personal TODO list. No guarantees if it is out of date and things
+ no longer apply. If you want to help out with any of it, send me an email.
+
+* Variable names in makepkg.conf--confusing
+ - some use 'USE_', others do not
+ - some are 'NO', some are 'KEEP', etc.
+ - some options use 0/1, others are y/n
+* Should undocumented makepkg (and thus PKGBUILD) options be put in the
+ manpage, as well as including sections for them in the makepkg.conf file?
+* Go through all makepkg bugs in flyspray and see if they are rectified:
+ http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?tasks=&project=1&string=makepkg
+
+* Documentation- no one likes to write it, but everyone reads it. Work on the
+ man pages and make sure they are up to date.
+* doc/PKGBUILD.5- continue cleanup work
+* PKGBUILD man page should be in section 5 and not section 8
+
+* Port the libdownload (libfetch) manpage from BSD style to Linux style, or at
+ very least change references to BSD.
+
+* Revise build system to a more static one (Aaron mentioned wmii system).
+
+* NEWS file updating and cleanup. Get rid of items that are bugfixes of never-
+ released code, etc.
+
+* New cache cleaning functionality in pacman - keep installed version, choose
+ number to keep, etc. Good python script in the forums that we should try to
+ emulate, perhaps.
+* pacman - downgrade feature - allow users to see cached packages andi
+ downgrade to (previous or any?) available options.
+
+* alpm_log_action & install script logging interaction - producing duplicate
+ entries in pacman logs (possibly fixed? needs more testing but looks good)
+
+* Extreme similarity between some of the sync and add code...we have to be able
+ to abstract more away from sync actions and add actions to just 'actions'
+ (example: sync,c, add.c, and deptest.c all contain a switch on PM_DEP_MOD_*)
+
+* Merge update, add, and sync code when possible, so we reduce duplication.
+
+* For Pacman 3.1 - List every function, define, etc. in libalpm. Give one
+ sentence description of each. If it sounds like two are similar, find a way
+ to combine or refactor them. If it is unnecessary- delete it. Stop keeping
+ everything clustered in little add/sync/remove parts, allow transactions to
+ share code.
+
+* Pacman 3.1 - Go through options list. Decide if namings are good, all options
+ are still relevant, etc. Ideas for -Re (#6273), changing meaning of -c (has
+ two meanings, another FS bug), etc.
+
+* Monotone suggestion- allow changing of a branch name after commit (example:
+ I meant to commit to a new branch, but I forgot --branch option on the
+ commit. Can I remove the original branch cert and replace it with a new
+ one?)
+
+Quick hits:
+* log_progress and cb_trans_progress - same function? not quite but commonality
+* unsigned int vs. unsigned
+* 'ldd' & 'ldd -u' - many linkages
+* possibly split utilities/extras from pacman package
+* makepkg3 produces files with arch appended- gensync can't deal with it
+* Fix repo-add script so it replaces packages instead of simply adding new onesi
+ (so old version is properly removed).
