Feature Requests / Wishes List
===============================

Accepted
--------

List of ideas clear and accepted for implementation:

* (12) archive is in fact a cache by default in ~/.portz/cache
* (13) archive shall be changeable by PORTZ_CACHE_DIR

* (4) version override ./portz_install pcre version=8.29
  Will be done using autoconf like overrides, so def will be changed from:
  
    version=1.2
    baseurl=http://foo/bar/baz-${version}.tar.gz
    
  to
    version=1.2
    baseurl=http://foo/bar/baz-@version@.tar.gz
    
  Replacement will be done after merging package & "override" params using sed.
  
* (1) --help for all commands
 partially implemented, as portz is now interface

* (7) subtasks dependency tracking;
  'portz invoke next' shall be added, and portz shall know which
  steps have been completed in package "build/staging" area
 
* (9) manual 

Grooming / ideas
---------------

* easy installable install script
  not sure how yet ...

* (14) repo shall be specified as PATH: PORTZ_PATH, default : ???
    but i'd like to add github urls like:
        https://github.com/zbigg/portz-repo or
        git@github.com:zbigg/portz-repo.git

* (6) renaming of steps, so they are easy "spellable" in invoke
  Currently fetch_src, patch, configure, ... build is not documented
  
* (2) cleanup of /tmp folder

* (3) functional tests !

* (10) refactor fetch
     fetch is either
        baseurl:
                download (many)
                check sha1sum !!
                unarchive (many, custom)
        svn_path:
                just checkout
        mtn_url:
                pull branch
                checkout
        git_url
                clone url
                checkout git_tag | git_ref
     unarchive shall be still custom
     fetch shall be autodetected

* (11) dependency tracking for build steps ...
        generate Makefile in srcdir that has targets
                
                prepare_clean_src.tag:
                        # either download & unarchive
                        # git, mtn, svn checkout
                     
                patch_src.tag: prepare_clean_src.tag
                        ...
                configure_src.tag: patch_src.tag
                        ...
                build.tag: configure_src.tag
                        # internal invoke build
                
                install_staging.tag: build.tag
                        # ...
                analyze.tag: install_staging.tag
                
                deploy.tag: analyze.tag
                        #
                        
                $(dist_archive_file): $(analyze_tag)
                       

Implemented
----------------

Ideas already implemented:

* (3) installation of package version, so we know what is installed
 -> now in PKGINFO
 
* (5) make patch utility
  portz make_patch on already
  
* (6) package dependencies
  depends="foo"
  
* (8) uniform CLI frontend, 'portz'
  'portz' frontend created
