[Yum-devel] Goal-like things for next few months

[Seth Vidal]

A set of things I want to work on as Fedora starts into the F11 cycle.

Things followed by question marks are questionable.

Yum:
- keyword metadata searching/tag browsing
- db to store yum-specific info about packages - barring that rpm doesn't 
end up letting us do this?
- merge yum-complete-transaction into yum instead of yum-utils.
- Think about different mechanisms for multiple provider handling:
      - James' metadata code
      - Optional prompting for selecting providers??
- downgrade?
- repomd.xml signature checking as default
- merge yum-security plugin/update_md functions into base?
- merge in post-transaction-action?
- trusted keys per repo?


Yum-utils:
- clean up package-cleanup code and interface
- add pkg-prov and pkg-dep tree into one program and put in yum-utils
- better docs and examples for repoquery
- verify-tree
    - more options so you can disable/enable tests
    - have the results be a little more obvious
    - verify random other metadata
    - specifically check/handle updateinfo and comps md
    - verify comps w/relaxng should be less frelling annoying
- remove repo-graph? Does anyone use this?


just thoughts for the moment
