Nice dpkg status output:
- try to detect reads attempts of the child (via select() on _child_control?)
- implement cancel as a last resort
Misc:
- check download size against statvfs against /var/cache
and in generate download script on the target location
- preferences: HIG instant apply only(fast enough for e.g. pkglist changes?)
- human readable repositories (ubuntu bug #1347)
- proxy username/password does not work with synaptic preferences
(add apt PROXY_USER PROXY_PASSWORD style variables into a special
expoert dialog in preferences)

- Scroll-bug (Eric Freyens, 25.10.2004)
- add "pause download" feature (possible with the fetchers?)
- integrate apt-get.org/fedoratracker.org into synaptic (savannah bug
#10544), a "server list" similar to amule (or gnutella, etc).
- Mail von Vidar Haar (9.Aug.2004): neues summary layout/
check for diskspace before downloading/executing
- make log-file [done] with optinal dpkg-output logging
HIG-2 (thanks to Sebastian for his analysis):
- "Force Version" should be a radiobutton not a combobox
- "View-menu"? > View
> |-> Toolbar
> |-> Dock properties window
> |-> Reload
(sucky?)
- "find" -> "search" (and Ctrl->S shortcut, current Ctrl-s->Shift-Ctrl-S)
- update task dialog ( http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/images/controls-list-checkbox.png)
- "Custom fonts": use radio-buttons, not checkboxes
> o Use theme font
> x use this font [font sel]
User-Mode:
----------
- split into user and root mode. User mode does all the changes and for
the final installation runs (with gksu or libgksu):
# synaptic --set-selection --non-interactive --hide-main-window --dont-write-any-config
( --dont-write-any-config needs to be implemented)
-> MOST infrastructure is there.
Problems: * set-version is not in selection file
* all settings are in in $USER/.synaptic (use
--preserve-env?)
* proxy settings and stuff needs to be preserved/passed
"run-as-root synaptic"
root is needed for:
- update: could be solved by making the /var/lib/apt/lists/ dir
group writeable for a desktop-group
- edit sources.list
- Need far better state saving:
- save selected distribution when doing a "save selection"
- when using "force version" save this as well
- when "open cache" is called, make sure that the correct distribution
is selected for save/restore
Misc:
-----
- network proxy detection if gnome/kde is installed/run (can be
solved with user-mode?!?)
- re-enable "default remove action" in the preferences window
- > > (synaptic:24143): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1827
> > (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
auf RPM
- search in name+provides in search-dialog
- In the change log view, link "bug" references to the actual bug report
Usability issues:
- Rework repository and vendor dialog
- Disable "Undo" and "Redo" if there is no action to perform
- Think about implementing a summary of changes in the upgrade dialog
- Use HIGified common dialogs (alignments and message text!)
- Use a tree view for sections containing a separator "/" (e.g. SuSE, RedHat)
- Merge the message about failed downloads and the "ignore failed downloads"
dialog
- Do not show "0 broken" and other "0" messages in the status bar
- Use a warning or error icon in the status bar to get the users attention
(e.g. in the case of broken packages)
- Always show the progress bar in the main window and move it to left side
(this is the default position in GNOME)
- Make the status message more contextual:
* show available upgrades after refresh
* if there are broken packages, this is the only relevant message
- Replace the "Running..." label in the "Apply changes" dialog with a
progress bar and use a busy cursor (?)
Translation issues:
- Use plural gettext in the status message
Unsorted:
- possibility to resume failed installation of half installed packages
Execute should be available if there are outstanding packages
(difficult!)
- Please add hyperlink support in package info for example BTS entry
- Please allow users to delete default filters and add an option to
restore in prefs (or make them not deletable at all)
- "crash handler" that automatically save the selections on a synaptic
segfault (and present a dialog to reread them on the next start)
- ask on debian-deity if it is possible to get a "DeletePin" function.
this way, we can do default release pining without rereading the cache
(see policy.cc:pkgPolicy::pkgPolicy())
Configure:
- allways give the correct path in the synaptic.desktop file
(currently hardcoded)
GUI:
- Icons should be themable: gtkiconfactory
- allow clicking in the depedency list so that the click takes
you to the package
- add native debconf reconfigure frontend using the cmdpipe interface
to debconf (cool!)
- try to get synaptic into base-config
- add something that lets the user see if a certain package is already
in the cache
- add reduced view? (always ignore this package)
- add ignore option for unwanted packages (use RPackageView?!)
- add context menu in the dependency list to install/remove/upgrade
- changesWindow should also support installing recommends/suggested pkgs
- add a sources.list wizard for debian (like base-config)?
Filter:
- add "immutable" filters that can be configured via /etc/synaptic/filters
- dependencies of selected package
- dependents of selected package
General:
- add something like aptitude Last-change support, so that you can
track what pkgs where installed to fullfill some dependencies
(and have the option to remove them again automatically)
[might be enough to use "remove with dependencies" ?]
- make deporhan a native synaptic filter (should be easy)
- implement raptoptions save/restore for getFlags/setFlags [not needed?]
Done:
- current task support is broken, try to fix it
- add TaskView view to show tasks [done with tasksel window]
- if download failed, use a special dialog to show it [done I think]
- Add comments for translators [mostly done]
- Reword unclear messages [mostly done]
- Pressing a key should jump to the first package with the same
inital letter [fixed with gtk2.6]
- Use new column editor in the preferences
- Disable search button in the search dialog until an expresseion was entered
- Separate sections from package list [can be archived with sorting
for section]
- "held back" is a bad term (ubuntu bug #1309)
- think about how to simplify the "reload" step for new users
(see mail from Philippe Cloutier, 16.Sep.2004)
[package list outdated dialog takes care of this]
- after changes in the repositories editor, ask for a update of
the package list
- download window scrollbar shouldn't always scroll, make two areas,
one with active jobs and one with completted jobs? (see mail from
Adam Lydick, 20.10.2004)
- Shortcut for force-version (for Redhat people)
- "Refresh" must be "reload"
- readd "UseRecommends" to auto-install recommended packages (done)
- sorting by versions
- redesign the columns (drag 'n drop?)
- "pin/hold" support (-)
- "install-this-versioN" (-)
- make a the used font in the treeview configurable
- when searching and then switching view-mode, go to the last selected
pkg (maybe do that every time the view is switched?)
- think about using a package details dialog
- add reinstall
- Add konqueror and opera to the list of help browser
- do not use ithe same sentence for singular and plural in summary
- icons in status list
- enable glade support in download and execute window
- implement font size choser [half-done see FAQ]
- add a button to undo all programmed changes
(do we need this now that we have a "real" undo?)
- hide seperator_hold on rpm based systems, too (?)
- deactivate "do not modify" in the package menu if no modification was
queued or no package is selected
- split up the label_info (main window) into several labels
- implement new glade version of dialog_summary
- disable all package actions if "hold current version" is activated
- "hold current version" in the package menu should represent the hold status
(it is already an "Ankreuzfeld")
- deactivate font selector in the prefs if user defined font is not activated
- add context-menu on right-click (del/inst/upgr/show descr in own window,
- context menus in the package list
- GtkTextView for package name and short desc (textview_pkgcommon)
- add a dialog that show what dependency is unmet if a pkg can not be
installed (like ShowBroken() in apt-get.cc)
- add a tab that shows all version of the package
(like apt-cache showpkg)
- enable different sorting methods for the tree (e.g. size)
- implement proxy settings
- implement a new (interactive) search function
- config option what the default action of ("delete") button is
- "removed but residual config" should win against
"obsolete or locally installed" in by status view
- add remove with deps menu entry
- add "Provides" tab (done)
- obsolete packages (installed, but no install version available)
(named "not installable")
- add missing functionality in rpackagefilter line 183 (Provides filter)
