debian/TODO.Debian

[Benjamin Seidenberg]

It was recently brought to my attention (r279) that another TODO list 
already exists, in debian/TODO.Debian. When looking at this list, I 
wasn't sure if some of these items have already been completed, if they 
even apply to the 2.2 packages, etc. Some of them seem to be in the 
cyrus code itself (not my strong suit), but I don't know. The list is 
replicated below, please comment on the issues, with regards to their 
status and ease of completion, as well as any other notes.

Thanks,
Benjamin

Todo list

EXTRA HIGH
o --name for start-stop-daemon
o master leaks memory when a service path is not null

HIGH
o Update copyright to my new template
o Shout loudly if anything in .stage needs cleaning up
o VERIFY SASL LEAKING CRAP TO prot_stream
    [info-cyrus  Re: Log messages going into imap/pop stream]
o Revise rehash, it is busted...
o Write nice shell wrapper for chk_cyrus and suggest a event to run it
o Clean up script, that finds all crap over one day old in .stage
  and delete it (after logging a warning). Add it as event.

o https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=1735

MEDIUM
o Verify kerberos build is still OK [gssapi]
o Add switch to enable do-not-add-return-path-if-it-is-already-there to
  deliver and LMTP input:
   - Return-path:  Override (default: drop old return-paths, add ours)
                   add (add if there isn't one in there already)
  note that no return-path is NOT an option ;-)
  Obs: - lmtpengine uses msg->return_path to know wether it got a mail from!
       - dropping old return-paths is non-trivial
o Reenable idled support (requires idled as a babysat service first)
o Fulldir-hash detection using the same mech as db-backend
o auth_ldap, and runtime-selection of auth backends. Add kerberos backend
  and kerberos support while at it, as well. [ cyrus 2.2 only ]

LOW
o Verify alpha build logs, and fix the warnings
o Better logcheck.ignore
o verify section of libcyrus-*-perl, as well as the manpages'
o Fix bogosity on perl manpages .TH
o netsaint example of full monitoring (imap, pop, lmtp, master via snmp)
o cyrus2-admin.menu
o find and package snmp loggers for cyrus (as examples)
o automated database backend conversion?
o sanitize usernames and folders to lowercase, no spaces or ill. chars
  [does this make any sense? shouldn't that be done by user name canon.?]

WON'T DO
o cyrus2-{pop3d,imapd} should deal with cyrus.conf
  - not needed; cyrus deals gracefully with missing binaries
o Debconf configuration
  - too troublesome; lusers are not welcome to using cyrus
    without reading docs anyway, and it is all SASL's fault.

BACKBURNER IDEAS
o master
  - capabilities, so as to be able to bind to ports <1024
  - jailing at user level (and what of shared mbx?)
  - Better handling of fucked up children that refuse to start?
    + requires 5th forked state in master
o i18n (GNU gettext, with kerberos guard for logs, messages;
  sanity-enforced txt files for return messages)
