o get messaging sorted
o try to write up a registry-based exe version checker.,
o Decouple install from check: they are not necessarily related.
o Generate newer, better objects internally.
o Generate new, better formats for existing 'exe' items
o Generate command items properly.
- Better version comparison.
- Security stuff that we should do
1 Check SSL certs or something in urllib2. Not that Thandy really cares
about repositories getting mitm'd.
3 Notice exceptionally slow bandwidths; treat as failure-like.
5 Make sure we actually verify that timestamps in files listed in ts
file match ts file's declared timestamps for them. Spec this.
6 Never replace a file with one that has an older timestamp. Spec this.
7D Fallback locations to find starting metafiles in, if we don't have
any cached yet.
- Security stuff that we should do that needs format changes.
2 Whenever we list a hash in a metafile, also list a file length.
- Think more about issues 4, 7(A,B,C)
- Missing packaging features:
- Generate multi-item packages properly.
- Transition better for checking on a given item
- Implement remove
- Get RPM actually more tested
- Get install-from-compressed-file working.
- Transaction support where available.
- OSX backend
. Download improvements.
o Back off on download failure.
o Handle full stalled file in download.
- Use if-modified-since on timestamp
- Better configurability: let users override mirrors, keys, etc.
- Proper exponential back-off on download backend.
- Wrapping
- More unit tests
. Documentation
- More comments, more tests
. full pydoc
- Testing
- Much bigger unit tests.
