<h1><center> Small FreeBSD ToDo List.
|
||||
</center></h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This list represents various tasks which are being collected from
|
||||
discussions on freebsd-small, and which represent the general
|
||||
direction and needs of using FreeBSD for small installations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The tasks are arranged by how important they are to the overall
|
||||
idea and goals of the project. If you are interested in doing some
|
||||
part of the work, please contact the coordinator of PicoBSD project
|
||||
(<A HREF="mailto:abial@freebsd.org">Andrzej Bialecki</a>).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Short term tasks:</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Eliminate need for patching FreeBSD source tree - either by
|
||||
keeping our own version of Makefiles, or by adding (many) knobs to
|
||||
the standard ones.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Provide options for building separate kernel and FS images of
|
||||
various sizes.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Add some "wizards" to help people new to Unix configure "dialup"
|
||||
and "net" for most common tasks.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Replace most of currently used scripts with Makefiles.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Add simple authentication module to oinit.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Fix kzip to be able to produce kzip'ped ELF kernels.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Clear up the issue of DiskOnChip driver.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Write better documentation. This is very important - the most
|
||||
common configurations should be described in detail, step by step.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Collect our experiences with using FreeBSD with SBCs, flash disks
|
||||
etc, and write a short practical guide to embedding FreeBSD.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Medium term tasks:<h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Change the building process so that it allows to easily choose
|
||||
(with finer granularity) needed components of the target system.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Make use of recently added KLD to allow for easy adding and
|
||||
removing drivers when running stripped kernels.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Investigate pros and cons of using the new boot/loader together
|
||||
with ELF kernels.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Change currently used crunched binaries to something more flexible
|
||||
- as it is now, even small change in set of programs requires
|
||||
rebuilding of the whole image.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Provide options for building systems which operate from
|
||||
(basically) read-only media, such as CD-ROM or flash disk. Such
|
||||
system doesn't need to keep all root FS in memory, but only small
|
||||
fraction of it for /tmp and /var.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Integrate DHCP into "dialup" version.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Rework oinit to be more modular, and write additional modules
|
||||
(remote access, SNMP (?), authentication, shell(), configuration
|
||||
editor).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Provide a remote access (telnetd/login/shell) module for the
|
||||
"router" version. Make the shell() module more predictable and
|
||||
compatible with common sense :-)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
At last prepare usable version of ISP floppy, and test it (some
|
||||
basic tests with server PPP). This involves among others a version
|
||||
of PPP which supports Radius.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Long term tasks:</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Either port ROMfs from Linux, or write our own replacement for it.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Describe the configuration tasks and parameters of PicoBSD systems
|
||||
in terms of hierarchy of categories - this is needed to start
|
||||
working on the next two points.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Design a flexible and efficient scheme (not necessarily compatible
|
||||
with currently used set of shell scripts) for storing and editing
|
||||
system configuration in some form of hierarchical DB.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Design a user interface for configuration of system parameters
|
||||
and services, meeting the following requirements: hierachical,
|
||||
logical, helpful (hinting), providing ability to automate certain
|
||||
tasks.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Reduce memory footprint.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Add other language versions.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Throw some more effort in porting the newer version of W (graphical
|
||||
UI), so that it uses VESA color modes. IMHO it's worth it.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
