TODO list for pkg_manage:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- check for expections, catch error output from pkg_* tools
|
|
check all i/o operations for error capture.
|
|

|
|
|
|
- implement better (faster) way of getting the +* out of the
|
|
tar files, or use an index file for this.
|
|
done 9Apr95, modified tar to stop after having extracted all
|
|
fnames listed on the commandline.
|
|
|
|
- add extra option to have a user select a directory and then display
|
|
all packages in that directory with a descriptive line, one should be
|
|
able to select a whole bunch of packages and then select GO.
|
|
Maybe review the whole concept. Perhaps something like this:

NOTE:
|
|
Have two windows, one containing the installed packages, the other
|
|
containing the *to be* installed packages. Packages listed in this
|
|
last window depend upon the directory chosen. One can delete
|
|
packages in the left window, or move packages from the right window
|
|
to the left, that is install them.
|
|
Coupling deletion from the left window to inclusion in the right
|
|
window will be difficult, since one cannot be sure that the list
|
|
one sees in the right window are all the packages available.
|
|
Furthermore deleting a package does not give one a package file
|
|
to store in a central place.
|
|
This coupling should not be suggested.
|
|
|
|
- when deleting the last package in the list, adjust the cursor-pointer
|
|
done 6Apr95
|
|
|
|
- check if a package is already installed when installing it.
|
|
done 7Apr95
|
|
|
|
- Read also +CONTENTS from pkg when scanning directory to extract
|
|
the package name from it.
|
|
done 7Apr95
|
|
|
|
- should I check for uid being root before installing anything?
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that the process can continue as a batch process.
|
|
Accumulate all error messages and show them after processing.
|
|
Before beginning with a batch install, check if any packages are
|
|
already installed, if so pop up message suggesting to delete
|
|
the package first before installing the new one.
|
|
done 7apr95
|
|
|
|
- make a dialog in which the comment information is printed, and
|
|
which has a button for displaying the description information.
|
|
done 6Apr95, no button, but key F2 for description
|
|
|
|
- when selecting the directory to install multiple packages
|
|
print a helpline about what to do.
|
|
done 6Apr95
|
|
|
|
- limit the width of the info-popup when selecting multiple
|
|
packages.
|
|
done 6Apr95
|
|
|
|
- make sure that the popup's dont get too big.
|
|
done 6Apr95
|
|
|
|
- add progress indication when scanning packages and installing them.
|
|
done 6Apr95, added a dialog_gauge to libdialog.
|
|
|
|
- check for delwin's whenever a newwin was called
|
|
done 6Apr95
|
|
|
|
- when an error occurs in get_desc, because it can't stat the temporary
|
|
file, then there is an seg-fault in draw_box in RefreshListObj() ?????
|
|
Low priority, because something fishy is going on then anyway
|
|
|
|
- use $TMPDIR to create tmp directory into
|
|
done 18Apr95
|
|
|
|
- make sure that when calling help, the helplines are disabled.
|
|
done 11Apr95, also implemented a different mechanism to save and
|
|
restore helplines
|
|
|
|
- do a size calculation for the selected packages
|
|
done 11Apr95
|
|
|
|
- (next version?) implement exec_catch_errors with popen(), I think
|
|
this will speed up things quite a bit. (not sure about it)
