| | 2 | #24000: Bug in apt Version: 0.0.17-1bo0 |
| | 3 | Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source for a package |
| | 4 | Status: Require Status file. |
| | 5 | #24685: HTTP Proxy cache refresh |
| | 6 | Summary: Some caches hold onto the package index file for too long |
| | 7 | Status: It may be possible to insert the proper header to disable |
| | 8 | caching but I can't think how to do this while allowing |
| | 9 | the cache to return cached objects - in effect it would |
| | 10 | completely disable the cache which may not be desired. |
| | 11 | #24717: apt dies early if one postinst/preinst dies |
| | 12 | Status: Requires dpkg modifications |
| | 13 | #22892: Apt improvements |
| | 14 | #28184: apt could be smarter regarding mirrors |
| | 15 | Summary: Make use of redundant sources |
| | 16 | Status: 0.3.0 will likely do this, already the information for it is stored. |
| | 17 | #25104: APT should retry failed downloads |
| | 18 | Summary: FTP method has problems with busy servers |
| | 19 | Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism |
| | 20 | to control this desired behavoir. |
| | 21 | #25176: Problem with FTP/firewall |
| | 22 | #25458: Problem with FTP/firewall |
| | 23 | Summary: FTP method has no controls for firewalls |
| | 24 | Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism |
| | 25 | to control this desired behavoir. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | -- Fixed but unclosed things |
| | 28 | #25026: apt: Why do you list the packages you're _not_ doing anything to instead of the ones you are? |
| | 29 | #22507: apt: apt-get - listing packages to be upgraded (wishlist) |
| | 30 | Summary: Feature request |
| | 31 | Status: Fixed in 0.3.0 via the -u option |
| | 32 | #21113: [Apt] In dselect, update dies and exits if the packages file is not found. |
| | 33 | Status: Fixed in 0.3.0 |
| | 34 | #22675: APT does not honor the --admin-dir option |
| | 35 | #22836: Disk/Zip-Method for apt? |
| | 36 | Summary: APT does not provide a way to download packages onto a |
| | 37 | removable media for another computer |
| | 38 | Status: 0.3.0 has substantially better support for this to the point |
| | 39 | that it is doable by using a seperate configuration file and |
| | 40 | the -c option |
| | 41 | #27601: srange errors from dselect |
| | 42 | Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source |
| | 43 | Status: Require status file |
| | 44 | Believed to be fixed in 0.1.9, was not reproducable w/ given |
| | 45 | status file |
| | 46 | #27841: apt: apt depends on a missing library |
| | 47 | Status: New versions of APT in slink have been compiled with libstdc++2.9 |
| | 48 | #23984: apt: support for "no_proxy" would be nice |
| | 49 | Status: Planed to be integrated into the new methods via the configuration |
| | 50 | file |
| | 51 | Done - Use Acquire::http::proxy::host.com="DIRECT" |
| | 52 | #25021: apt: Need some control over multiple connections |
| | 53 | Status: Probable that 0.3.x will have support for configuing some |
| | 54 | parameters |
| | 55 | Done - Use Acquire::Queue-Mode="access" |
| | 56 | #25019: apt: Confusing progress report |
| | 57 | Summary: Gripes about the progress meter |
| | 58 | Status: I do not intend to implement very many of these ideas in apt-get. |
| | 59 | The GUI will naturally be better |
| | 60 | I think the new progress meter address basically everyone's |
| | 61 | concerns. |
| | 62 | #25022: apt: Lack of feedback on date checking |
| | 63 | Summary: Wants to know what package files were not updated |
| | 64 | Status: There is no place for this in the current apt-get design, |
| | 65 | probably won't make the GUI either. |
| | 66 | Wee, the new acquire code allows this, it now prints out 'Hit' |
| | 67 | #26019: apt may report wrong line speed |
| | 68 | #26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist) |
| | 69 | #28778: apt: apt's fetched message is wrong for update of packages files |
| | 70 | Summary: APT includes the fetch time from the local cache in its |
| | 71 | calculations |
| | 72 | Status: Probably will be fixed with new acquire code |
| | 73 | And it actually was fixed with the new acquire code |
| | 74 | #26670: apt: apt-get dumps core after checking integrity |
| | 75 | Summary: Some terminal environments cause APT to crash |
| | 76 | Win95 telnet and emacs term-in-a-buffer are two at least |
| | 77 | Status: I have no idea why. |
| | 78 | Seems to be gone in .3, whatever it was... |
| | 79 | #25001: apt: cleaned out archive even though not all files were installed |
| | 80 | Status: Apparently in some cases APT can return a success code even |
| | 81 | though it failed. I'm paying very close attention to this in |
| | 82 | 0.3.x. Not to mention that the clean behavior will be |
| | 83 | configurable.. |
| | 84 | #28391: apt-get install without upgrading |
| | 85 | Summary: Make install leave the package in the keep state if it is already |
| | 86 | installed |
| | 87 | Status: Will be implemented in 0.3.0 |
| | 88 | Try the --no-upgrade options |
| | 89 | #28373: apt package is missing information on ftp.conf |
| | 90 | #29293: apt: Docs reference apt(8) but apt(8) not provided. |
| | 91 | Summary: The man pages have references to several non-existent items, |
| | 92 | ftp.conf is only one of them. |
| | 93 | Status: Fix the man pages. This certainly will be done in 0.3.0 |
| | 94 | #24799: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect |
| | 95 | Summary: Wants to be able to specifiy -d from dselect |
| | 96 | Status: Likely a APT_OPTIONS enviornment variable will be created, -d can |
| | 97 | be put there. |
| | 98 | There is already an APT_CONFIG in 0.3, APT_OPTIONS may also |
| | 99 | appear.. |
| | 100 | Use Dselect::Options "-d" and others |
| | 101 | #29920: Wish for more verbosity on "has no installation candidate" |
| | 102 | Summary: More reports |
| | 103 | Status: Already fixed in .3 |
| | 104 | |
| | 105 | -- Silly things |
| | 106 | #26592: apt: Problems with ftpd in SunOS 5.6 |
| | 107 | Summary: SunOS ftpd does not support the SIZE command |
| | 108 | Status: Probably not worth fixing |
| | 109 | #20723: Apt suggestion |
| | 110 | Summary: Package Grouping Mechanism |
| | 111 | Status: Who knows |
| | 112 | #22550: apt-get upgrade could configure packages earlier |
| | 113 | Status: Who knows |
| | 114 | #23934: apt-get source <package> |
| | 115 | #27190: apt: installing source packages (wishlist) |
| | 116 | Status: Impossible to do without an index file for all source archives. |
| | 117 | #26663: rsync file access |
| | 118 | Status: Unlikely, rsync does not provide the necessary support to be |
| | 119 | a terribly good method. I do not intend any 'split mode' |
| | 120 | support (ie a way to get Package files via rsync and .debs |
| | 121 | via http) |
| | 122 | #22551: apt: wish: use dist X iff pkg does not exist in dist Y |
| | 123 | #27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental |
| | 124 | Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning |
| | 125 | #28172: HTTP Proxy cache refresh should be forced for corrupted packages |
| | 126 | Summary: Some problem resulted in a corrupted package |
| | 127 | Status: I belive this reflects a deeper problem and the suggested solution |
| | 128 | is only a band-aide patch. I intend to close this bug when #24685 |
| | 129 | is fixed with a configuration directive. |
| | 130 | #27646: Apt: dpkg --merge-avail |
| | 131 | Summary: Suggestion to call merge avail after each update operation |
| | 132 | Status: Unlikely. The dpkg --print-avail functions should be obsoleted |
| | 133 | by the apt-query program which should be written. |
