TODO (Prio A)
=============
[.] ipkg with dependecies
update: 20090614 mkl:
ipkg are created with dependencies now, image creation still works.
however online update is still untested, though.
[ ] mol, rsc: improve user database concept. Especially for the system
users we currently have the problem how to generate system users which
are only necessary for certain services. Maybe some kind of
/etc/passwd.d/* mechanism could be a solution? Discuss with team.
Discuss UUID/GID of "rpcuser" and other important system users
[ ] rsc: GDB__VERSION: shouldn't this be taken from the toolchain, in
order to be consistent with the gdb which is provided there? Discuss
with mkl.
[ ] jbe: If someone adds a project local menu (*.in) file and uses
'project_specific' as its SECTION name ptxdist should automatically
generate an additional submenu "Project Specific Configuration" and
include this menu into it. This should avoid a local "Kconfig" copy
in each ptxdist project for such a simple addition.
[ ] lfu: some mountable devices are available after udev has started.
hence we need an extra mount script to mount all entries in fstab
instead out of rcS.
[ ] jbe: all test scripts should check if their interaction with the filesystem
where successfull. If a file copy to /tftpboot fails, it should *not* continue.
TODO (Prio B)
=============
[ ] jbe: mplayer.compile: It seems very PXA specific now?
i586-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc [...] -c -o vo_pxa.o vo_pxa.c
vo_pxa.c: In function 'draw_osd':

Even with disabled PXA specific options a build for x86 still fails:

libvo/libvo.a(video_out.o):(.data+0x28): undefined reference to `video_out_pxa'
[...] and much more
Update 20090118 rsc: not reproducable, switched on again and we wait
for sisyphus to explode.
[ ] http://www.osadl.org/Single-View.111+M52e8d0c2b2f.0.html

- take care of all platforms: configs/*/platformconfig
- images: images for all collections
- for all optional packages: ask back if images, ipkgs etc. shall
be bundled (with --force)
[ ] jbe: Shown pathes are much too long in "ptxconfig" and "platformconfig"
while running "ptxdist menu"
[ ] jbe: We should provide a solution if someone selects "ptx" or
"platform" while running "ptxdist menu" and these files are not new enough.
(happens if someone wants to upgrade his ptxdist-1 based BSP). Currently
there is only a error message, one should use "--force". Its correct, but
is doesn't help! M$ help level!
-> integrate --force into dialogs
[ ] jbe: most of the time thttpd does not respond to the USR1 signal.
- the start/stop script fails to stop this service
[ ] bbu, lfu, rsc, sha: "bspfix feature"
Usecase:
* create BSP config with "ptxdist menuconfig"
* "ptxdist bspfix [bspfix-name]" (creates 2nd config internally)
* user makes changes to the software config (menuconfig) and saves
* some kind of "diff" is made between "selected_platformconfig" and
bspfix-config
* if user has one or several "bspfixes" around, they are patched into
his ptxconfig on the fly
Aims:
* developer: can create their own local modifications of the bsp,
without destroying the official one
* customer: can make his own changes ontop of our releases; changes
are easy to move forward
Before Release
--------------
[ ] rsc: we need a "tested distros" strategy for 2.0.0, with
pre-packaged toolchains.
[ ] rsc: run dependency hunter and fix all remaining dependency problems
[ ] update ChangeLog from git
[ ] jbe, rsc: provide demo projects, including website documentation,
maybe even elinux.org docs.
Release tarballs in a way that they can be installed with ptxdist, which
means that they have to be installed into the "projects/" directory in
the toplevel dir, to be able to clone them.
Provide debian packages of ptxdist, ptxdist-patches, toolchains and
demo directories.
[ ] bbu: check ptxdist first-time-usage scenario for chicken-egg problems
e.g. if you don´t set sane defaults for PTXCONF_SETUP_PROJECTPATH,
ptxdist won´t find its own projects.
[ ] jbe: Would there be a solution to supress sysroot-* folders for target system
(for example bare metall) that do not need a Unix filesystem?
[ ] jbe: it must be possible to force some userland components from inside the
platformconfig. For example a platform specific kernel driver module
needs a special component of the UDEV. Currently it does not work.
Duplicating symbols in both config files may work, but it will be
"BROKEN BY DESIGN".
Update 20091017 rsc: Would it be possible to add that platform specific
package in the platform?
[ ] rsc: configure continues, even if a test breaks. Example:
checking lex library... sed: couldn't write 76 items to stdout: No space left on device
grep: write error: No space left on device

[...anything proceeds...]
[ ] jbe: working with hd.img is very delicate. The incomplete partition
table confuses the linux kernel, so any rewrite of the image after done
one time fails with "no space left on device". Also fdisk fails when
trying to repair this partition table. Only Windows can rewrite the
partition table in this case. After this, also Linux is able to write to
the hard disk again! But the BIOS and Kernel on target side are
successfull. Problem happend on SUSE-10.1 on host side and an USB to IDE
adapter to initial write the hd.img to the harddisk.
TODO somewhen
=============
[ ] rsc: evaluate http://dolt.freedesktop.org
[ ] rsc: license management:
- generate license dependency graph (based on objdump info?)
- bundle GPL sources automatically
[ ] rsc: add sparse support
[ ] jbe: review samba configure stage. For a non-root and cross-compile run it
seems to omit many tests and switches of many features in the final
application. Check if samba_cv_HAVE_IFACE_IFCONF=yes and samba_cv_HAVE_MMAP=yes
can be used all over all architectures as defaults
[ ] bbu: add minimal documentation for internal vars (useful for
customer makefiles) -> see manual (not quickstart)
[ ] jbe: samba fails to run with:
sys_gethostbyname: Unknown host. eth0
can't determine netmask for eth0
WARNING: no network interfaces found
Seems to be a failure with current glibc
[ ] jbe: audit packages which are marked to be BROKEN
[ ] lfu: often used config files for X like xorg.conf or xinitrd shall be
integrated into ptxdist generic files. the installation shall follow
the scheme of other rootfs configuration files
[ ] jbe: audit all packages if they change the target CPU (with --march
or --mtune); openssl does so
[ ] jbe: uRamdisk should be built from ipkg packages instead of root/ content!
[ ] jbe: why does fam-2.7.0 always try to run the autotools? It fails on most
modern systems -> mark as broken. rsc: real fix: find out why and fix.
[ ] feature request: add profiling support (kernel and userspace)
best with host visualisation
[ ] jbe: more help texts
[ ] bbu: reimplement cuckoo-test
- files w/ wrong build-arch
- missing libs
- statistics
- stripped / non stripped files
[ ] bbu: reimplement generic pre- and post-flight checks
- dependency checks
- cuckoo-test
- user defined checks
- package tests
- in-system test -> ltp
[ ] bbu: generic logging aproach w/ single and combined logs
- combined log for normal use
- build-logs per package, test-suite, etc would support features like
- "quiet build", while still providing the full error
output of the failing target
- helpdesk notification fetaures
- build statistics
- better support for GUI driven builds
[ ] bbu,rsc,mkl: brain storming session
Discussion about the whole PTXdist build-,
deployment- and testing-mechanics:
- Support different target package formats
Rationale: - Some standardization aproaches like carrier grade linux
or the linux standard base make rpm or dpk packages
mandatory.
- Users asked for it
Which package formats would be useful ?
- ipkg
- deb
- rpm
- openpkg
- plain directory tree / tar[.gz]
! Depends: Check rpm and deb database footprint
! Depends: Discussion about the current installation scheme
- Support binary package distribution
Rationale: Most Customers don´t want to build the
base System on their own. They want a
well defined base system and then apply
some changes, add files (probably on the fly)
by installing binary packages.
! Problem: This might break the current PTXdist philosophy
(executeable documentation)
! Depends: We would need some kind of install-filter or exclude-list
- Deployment / Testing Frontend (maybe GUI driven)
Rationale: needed in a binary package distribution scenario
to customize the installation from a generic
binary package.
- Support precompiled customer environment
Rationale: This would reduce compile times for
the customer, since he would start
directly w/ his own application
w/o the need for a full ptxdist run.
! Problem: Build Hierarchy is not relocateable
-> libtool problems
! Problem: Make depends on timestamps
Possible solutions:
- create intermediate build labels / paths
- tweak things during installation
(dirty, dirty ... how do we handle updates?)
- Provide a "full blown" toolchain with all
host-tools and chroot into it
(dirty, dirty ... needs root privileges)
- Provide a "full blown" toolchain with all
host-tools inside a virtual machine,
vmware image or CoLinux
(dirty, slow, but runs even with Windows)
(nasty, since it would be some kind of closed box solution)
(problem: how do we handle alternative toolchains in this case?)
- Support Partitioned Images
! Problem: We don´t want to use root privileges
! Problem: Generate valid Partition Tables
! Problem: ipkg list has to work inside the
target system, so we would need
two or more diffenrent installation "views":
- The partition image generation view,
which
a) respects partition boundaries
b) rewrites the resulting installation
paths respectively.
- The binary target package view (i.e. ipkg)
which
a) generates apropriate pre- and post-
installation scripts to i.e. remount
the partitions read/write
b) creates binary packages, rooted in
"/" on the target.
- An optional "user-view", where something
else can happen, i.e. transfering stuff
to an ftp server or mounting an image
with root privileges or as user via fuse.
- TODO:
- Create Use Cases:
- What is covered by the current design
- What would be nice, well designed and sane
- What does $JON_DOE_HACKER want
- What does $JON_DOE_HACKER _need_
- What does $CUSTOMER want
- What does $CUSTOMER _need_
- Draw the big picture :-)
- Create Roadmap
[ ] mol: add possibility to 'ptxdist print' more than one variable in
one make call bbu: maybe some kind of "ptxdist env" as in env(1) ?
[ ] check if ${PTXCONF_SYSROOT_TARGET} can be written to and barf if not
[ ] add sanity checks for all user configurable variables (especially
paths)
[ ] Problem: When doing things like "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=bla something",
something does not inherit the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
To achieve this properly, we need to export these variables to the
calling shell. The same applies to lots of variables from
Rules.make.
[ ] image build mechanism tries to access data and infos from already
disabled targets! (if they where enabled before). It does so
unless a manually delete of the remaining and (now) useless targets
in "state/"
[ ] Tree Structure
rsc: Find sane place for generic files from projects/generic
ero: Make subdirectories, e.g. for x.org stuff. Might use symlinks
to avoid changing the scripts.
sha: push make and in files into subdirs, add patches to that dirs
as well.
[ ] rsc: add some useful statistics at the end of build (root size, image
size etc.).
[ ] rsc: add checksums for download

[x] some_autotool_fan: shebang-line of awk-scripts should use the $AWK
value obtained from configure.
20090610 wsa: we hardcoded gawk where needed. configure checks now
for gawk explicitly.
[x] jbe: udev seems to load kernel modules by its own. How to disable it?
20090610 lfu: the 80-drivers rule causes such behaviour. We don't install it
to target, since it's mostly useless for embedded targets.
[x] bbu, lfu, rsc, sha: "collections"
Observations / Ideas:
* "modularity" doesn't fit our needs; we don't only want to build
the base packages plus all modules; it is more something like:
"build minimum set", or "build minimu set + feature x"
* "collections" are lists of packages
Use Cases:
* "ptxdist --collectionconfig=base go" builds the package set "base"
* "ptxdist --collectionconfig=headless_rt go" builds the package set "headless_rt"
* "ptxdist --collectionconfig=all go" builds all selected packages
* "ptxdist collection <pkgset>" creates "selected_collection" and makes it
the default for subsequent commands
Necessary:
* separate "targetinstall" stage from "ipkg -> root/image"
* How to call this?
* API? "ptxdist --pkgset=<pkgset> foobar" installs root/ and image.blub from ipkgs
[x] jbe: Would it be possible to omit the "ptxconfig" and "platformconfig" menu entries
when run "ptxdist menu" when the "selected_ptxconfig" and "selected_platformconfig"
are real files than links (or not exist yet)? If they are real files, the project
is a single platform one. There is no need for this step!
Update 2009610 mkl: done
[x] rsc: fix 'ptxdist newpacket host'; find out what mkl intended with
this "class" mechanism and make sure it produces sane output. Check
with mkl.
Example: ptxdist newpacket host-existing-target:
- asks for version number, which should be derived from existing
target version
- asks for URL, but we want to use the download mechanics from
target
- should output warning that you have to change := into = for
corresponding target packet
mkl: this is not true!
jbe: discuss the templeate rules and their content with mkl to shrink them or
to adapt them to the current ptxdist behaviour
[x] mkl/jbe: Host's environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH leaks in.
We want a whitelist instead of the current blacklist.
Update 20090610 mkl: done
[x] jbe: fuse can be build without libiconv. The glibc iconv() works for
it. But its configure is so stupid, it continues to detect a libiconv
even if disabled and link against it. (for example if libiconv is
already built by accident)
Update 20090610 rsc: done
[x] jbe: host-glib can be build against the iconv() in the host's glibc.
There is no need for a host-libiconv!
Update 20090610 rsc: fixed
[X] jbe: Running "ptxdist menu" shows always a "u-boot-v2" entry that fails
if called even if the platformconfig do not use u-boot-v2
[x] mkl/jbe: The 'ps' command from the procps package outputs
"Unknown HZ value! (xx) Assume 100."
on a recently started system. Doing it later again, this message does
not occur again. Kernel detection failure?
Update 20090609: (mkl) fixed
[x] jbe: dropbear's init script seems to fail to do a simple "restart". For example
if one changes the SSH portnumber in the script and try a restart, nothing changes!
Update 20090609 rsc: fixed
[x] jbe: the libiconv package fails to build, if a libiconv library is
present on the host system (for example in /usr/lib). In this case it
tries to link against this library, instead of its own. In one link
step:
../srclib/libicrt.a /usr/lib/libiconv.so
versus (if no libiconv is present on the host)
../srclib/libicrt.a ../lib/.libs/libiconv.so
Update 20090609 mkl: fixed
[x] bbu: default path to generic projects seems not to work
Update 20090603 rsc: please provide test case, seems to work here.

Update 20090603 rsc: we need a testcase, bug closed.
[x] bbu: Discuss the whole definition of "package". At the moment,
most package options are scattered across two or more
*.in or *.make files, making "drop-in replacements" nearly
impossible.
Update 20090603 rsc: obsoleted by package model in ptxdist 2.0.
[x] rsc: find out why iproute2 needs berkeley-db
Update 20090603 rsc: fixed with recent iproute2 patches from jbe
[x] rsc: iproute2 -> arpd needs db-44, but the select DB_44 does not work.

[x] Bo Hansen: util-linux fails to build more.c when no curses library is
present. Different development platforms are behaving differently.
jbe's host detects the lack of curses and omits more.c to build in this
case. So the build does not fail. Bo's host decide to build more.c
even if curses is not present and fails.
[x] jbe: if one enable the "Local kernel tree" by accident but hasn't been setup
the "Prefix for kernel trees", ptxdist should output a more useful error message
than just:
----------------------
target: kernel.extract

Error: empty parameter to 'extract()'

[x] jbe: host-intltool.prepare
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
Update 20090118 rsc: add a function to 'ptxdist go' that can run
stuff depending on ptxconfig; I don't want to add a ptxdist dependency
to XML::Parser and perl, just for glade. Something that runs on 'ptxdist
go' or 'ptxdist <some_stage>' (FIXME which one?) and can output something
like "error: need perl and XML::Parser to build glade".
Update 2009-01-20: jbe: add a test for perl XML::Parser into these
makefiles and fail gracefully with a nice error
message. So this test runs on demand only.
[x] jbe: "ptxdist platformconfig" moans:
error: The configfile version and ptxdist version do not match:
configfile version:
ptxdist version: 1.99.svn
Users current focus is on "selected_platformconfig". But ptxdist
moans about an empty 'selected_ptxconfig' here!
Instead it should:
- output the correct filename which is causing the problem here
- silently does its job, because the platformconfig is all right here
- should output this message, when running a "ptxdist menuconfig"
[x] Whenever a new packet dependency is added to the menus and one does not
update the used ptxconfig file, the next build will only detect the
"<packet_name>.install" dependency and fail due to the fact the
"<packet_name>.[get|extract|prepare|compile]" are still missing. When
ptxdist is able to detect the dependency to "<packet_name>.install", it
should also add the other targets (get|extract|prepare|compile) from inside
the <packet_name> silently. The current error is confusing, because it
occures even the user didn't change anything in his/her project.
[x] jbe: Would it be possible to delete a directory defined by PTXCONF_SYSROOT_TARGET
in the form "${PTXDIST_WORKSPACE}/local/${PTXCONF_ARCH_STRING}"
Currently the "local" part still exists when running "ptxdist clean".
This is for ptxdist-1 backward compatibility.
Update 20090126: the correct is path is:
"${PTXDIST_WORKSPACE}/local/${PTXCONF_GNU_TARGET}"
and it is cleaned now
[x] jbe: host-dbus-glib.compile
../../dbus/dbus-binding-tool: error while loading shared libraries:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[x] jbe: Adding "ant" to the required host tools. Emit a warning if its not
present, but not fail (required only to build jvisu)
Update 2007-01-24: rsc: rejected. Ant is only needed by tools which
use Java, and we don't want a prerequisite to
java in PTXdist. Maybe add some loud warning if
packets are built which use java, such as jvisu.
Update 2009-01-20: jbe: add a test for 'ant' into jvisu's makefile and
fail gracefully with a nice error message. So this test
runs on demand only.
Update 2009-01-26: done, no tests in the configure script for now.
looks this way now, everybody happy???
Update 2009-02-05: jbe is happy now.
