[edit] bugs and features in packages

• FR #3810 - hddtemp daemon script
• FR #4550 - conf.d for clock settings - is it needed?
• BR #4648 - try to do this if noone will be faster
• FR #6989 - I thought about this long time ago...
• BR #5324 - it seems there is no reason to not fix it
• UTF-8 in ncurses applications
• KOI8-U/-R in GnomeVFS when browsing Samba shares (if it's possible to fix at all)
• FR #4664 - check this
• initscripts and rc.d improvements
  • do not try to shutdown daemons that are not running
  • fix wrong runlevel switching (clearly visible when doing init 3 -> init 1 -> init 3)
  • FR #4688
  • BR #4694 - try to find a solution if possible
  • BR #4766
  • FR #6776

  • BR #5546
  • FR #6288
  • and others (don't remember their #s now)

[edit] Installer / LiveCD

• create utility for timezone setting (like km) and make installer use it instead of ugly hack

[edit] Pacman

• fix this (should not be checked at this step):

[roman@home tea-lite]$ makepkg -g
==> ERROR: tea-lite is not available for the 'i686' architecture.
    Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
    such as arch=('i686').

• implement Total Download Size feature
• implement build date-time based version comparisons (will fix BR #6834)
• review libalpm's add.c and remove.c
  • use [PATH_MAX+1] instead of [PATH_MAX] in remove.c
  • rename info to pkg in *_commit ?
  • make sure of consistent and correct use of:
    • newpkg->name vs alpm_pkg_get_name(newpkg)
    • scriptlet vs newpkg->data
      • UPDATE: see http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lib/libalpm/add.c.diff?r1=1.128&r2=1.129&cvsroot=Pacman

and Aaron's commit log: I was mistaken, newpkg->data IS useful here, as the scriptlet isn't in the FS at this point
