 debian/TODO for LedgerSMB v1.3
 
+- Change how the file permissions are being set for the resulting binary package;
+for both corrections and for what might be required for the installed pacakge. See
+also if the 'make install' option takes care of any of the changes, so it doesn't
+need to be done by the packaging. (See next 2 items for related Lintian results.)
 
-- Use a patch to create an updated example of the ledgersmb.conf.default file
-instead of the sed line in debian/rules, then create a copy of it as ledgersmb.conf
-for installation to /etc/ledgersmb.
+- Multiple instances of the following of the following Lintian warnings:
+W: ledgersmb: script-not-executable (6)
+    -> Contact upstream. Could do a chmod on those in debian/rules.
+W: ledgersmb: executable-not-elf-or-script (72)
+    -> Contact upstream. For now, do a chmod on those in debian/rules.
 
+- Multiple instances of the following from Lintian. At least one is named
+  "custom" so may need an override because it is meant to be that way.
+  Investigate why the others are showing as empty.
+I: ledgersmb: package-contains-empty-directory (9)

 - Autoconfiguration of PostgreSQL and access to it by LedgerSMB using dbconfig-common.

 - Any post install processing for Apache2 should include "a2enmod rewrite" at some
 point to ensure that module is enabled, and a restart as well because of the newly
-installed /ledgersmb-httpd.conf.  (wwwconfig-common ?)
+installed /ledgersmb-httpd.conf.  (wwwconfig-common ?)  And verify that any apache
+or other httpd specific commands are verified as installed before attepting to use
+them.
 
-- Correct the following Lintian warnings:
-W: ledgersmb source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.1 (current is 3.9.2)
-W: ledgersmb source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch
-W: ledgersmb source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep
+- Investigate using the LedgerSMB 'make install' instead of using dh_install for
+all of the file installation setup.
 
-- New 1.3 version contains an embedded javascript library
-W: ledgersmb: extra-license-file usr/share/ledgersmb/UI/ajax/scriptaculous/MIT-LICENSE
-W: ledgersmb: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/ledgersmb/UI/ajax/scriptaculous/lib/prototype.js
-W: ledgersmb: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/ledgersmb/UI/ajax/scriptaculous/src/scriptaculous.js
--> embedded version appears to be 1.8.2.   It is available in Debian;  1.8.1 in lenny (current oldstable),
-   1.8.3 in lenny-backports, 1.8.3 in squeeze, 1.9.0 in wheezy
-p   libjs-scriptaculous  - JavaScript library for dynamic web applications 
+- Investigate updating the debian packaging to use debhelper compatibility level 8
+and using 'dh' to simplify debian/rules.
 
-- Suppress and/or otherwise handle the multiple instances of the following
-Lintian warnings:
-W: ledgersmb: executable-not-elf-or-script  (various directories)
-W: ledgersmb: extra-license-file usr/share/ledgersmb/locale/legacy/
-
 - It was announced back in Sept 2010 that LSMB v1.2 works with Postgresql v9,
 which is now available in Debian Testing (wheezy).   After testing that version
 with LSMB, add v9.0 to the possible Postgresql versions in debian/control. There 
-are different needs for the v8 & v9 Postgresql.
+are different needs for the v8 & v9 Postgresql.  Or, instead of depending on the
+versioned postgresql packages, just depend on postgresql;  since which version(s)
+of postgresql might be installed is up to the system administrator, any database
+related differences for LedgerSMB would need to be taken care of and/or at least
+referenced in the debian packaging in any case, so it would be better to just
+depend on postgresql which will get whichever is the current default version.
 
+- New 1.3 version of LedgerSMB contains an embedded javascript library. The embedded
+version appears to be 1.8.2.  The library is available in Debian as the package
+libjs-scriptaculous:  v1.8.1 in lenny (current oldstable), v1.8.3 in lenny-backports,
+v1.8.3 in squeeze, v1.9.0 in wheezy. Provide a Lintian override with description of
+issue, until otherwise resolved.
+  From Chris Travers in the Ledger-smb-devel mailing list:
+  "I don't know of any testing we have done on other versions.  We don't use a lot
+   of advanced stuff so I would expect it would work.  If bugs are found, though,
+   we can correct them."
+Test usage of libjs-scriptaculous and change over to using that when it is found
+to be operational with it.
+
 - As neccessary, add any other docs that could be registered to doc-base files.
 
+- Rewrite the debian/copyright file, following DEP-5.
