This page references all the things we want to do for Jessie
Either fix or remove packages from http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/out_of_date.txt
so that https://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph2-week-big.png improves
Try to fix the top of http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/graph-total-top.txt
- Good archive coverage.
- We're at 80%, kfreebsd was at 85% when it entered wheezy. We can probably do better with
- mono
- fpc
- nodejs
- We're at 80%, kfreebsd was at 85% when it entered wheezy. We can probably do better with
- debian-installer
- Be able to install at least the base from official mirror
- missing isc-dhcp, whose fixed version (#616290) is still only in experimental, waiting for an upload to unstable
- Be able to install at least the base from official mirror
- buildd
- security
- DSA
Get Xorg + gnome/kde/xfce/lxde (lxde is working, xfce should work, kde is missing working dbus (due to local socket auth and bugs in select() cornercases)) + some webbrowser working (iceweasel 9 works, though not https, 739658).
No more binaries built in "use debian-ports" era (http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2013/07/msg00014.html):
- emacs23
lost cause, will be dropped once emacs24 is fixed for good (725099) and made default
- xserver-xorg-video-openchrome, to just remove
- emacs23
- Basic ACPI support (but what?)
proper dhcp support in installed system
use ifup/ifdown instead of translators entry?
Switch by default to plain sysv startup
fix "su" to root discrepancy (PATH does not include sbin etc.), apparently simply because shadow's su vs coreutils' su.
see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/6488
newer coreutils drops su (http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2013/07/msg00057.html), switch to util-linux' su once util-linux is updated
or rather switch to shadow's, like linux, 737805
