- make sure the man pages are complete and up-to-date, see fink#52
- validator should error if a field is there more than once (done in parent, not yet in splitoffs), see fink#53
- long validator wishlist in Validation.pm, see fink#54
- Validator should complain if %p/share/gtk-doc is not in a package which is BuildDependsOnly: true, see fink#55
- replace "
fink list --help" by a general "fink --help [command]" similar to how CVS does it (e.g. try "cvs -H update"), see fink#56 - add a mirror check utility that given some testcases will verify that all mirrors do still work, see fink#57
- when Fink asks a user to choose between alternatives, it should remember the choice. (But will this ever break building?), see fink#58
- when a package is very new, the source is not yet on a master. This case is very common and needs to be dealt with much better, see fink#59
- rewrite the dependency code, see fink#60
- it might be useful to sync the finkinfodb as a single file per-tree, via
rsync. This way users don't have to download all the .info files. Profiling would be needed. And what about .patch? See fink#61 - Spotlight might be able to notice new .info files for Fink, so updating can happen in the background, see fink#62 and the package
finkinfofile - There should be a better way than
passwdfor packages to use new user/groups. See branch UID/GID and fink#63 (possibly complete?) - As much as possible of fink should work as non-root. Especially important that '
fink build' should work, in case we ever want to use a build farm. See fink#64 (might be already done?)
