TODO list for CRUX 2.6

• Flyspray tasks for CRUX 2.6

Ports

• sudo: new core port DONE
• readline: new version 6.x. DONE
• util-linux-ng, e2fsprogs: DONE
  • use libblkid, blkid, findfs, fsck from util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs
  • use libuuid, uuidgen etc. from util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs
    • see http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/v2.15/v2.15-ReleaseNotes
    • interesting email from Karel Zak and the reply by Kay Sievers
    • we have to wait for util-linux-ng 2.15.1
    • libuuid has been added to the util-linux-ng git-repo as well. See this announcement.
    • http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2277
• possibly replace libusb 0.1.12 with libusb 1.0 + libusb-compat 0.1 DONE
  • see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.libusb.devel.general/5444
  • needs some testing, ports -> http://jue.li/crux/ports/
• possibly replace rdate with openrdate DONE
  • man-page for openrdate -> http://tinyurl.com/deh3ea
  • port -> http://jue.li/crux/ports/
• possibly update diffutils to version 2.8.7 from alpha.gnu.org. DISCARDED
  • gentoo/debian are using this version
• add opt/fakeroot to the ISO? it's the first port I install on a new CRUX system. DONE
• remove opt/cvs from the ISO? I don't know why we're shipping it atm. DONE
• Can we move the following ports from core to opt?
  • expat (I don't think any other core port needs an XML parser!?) DONE
  • strace (debugging tool, why should this be in core?) DONE
  • rpm2targz DONE
  • tcsh DONE
• possibily replace sysklogd with rsyslog DISCARDED
  • rsyslog has become the default syslogd for debian/fedora
  • port -> http://mikeux.dyndns.org/crux/ports/sepen/rsyslog/

Iso

• lvm2: add support for lvm DONE
• Possibly provide packages in .tar.xz format (iso only) DISCARDED
  • This appears to have similar de-compression rates, and could reduce the ISO size by ~20-30%
• Adjust setup-helper:
  • force install of libusb-compat DONE
  • mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/all.conf ; see ticket #437 DONE
  • install openrdate instead of rdate DONE
  • changes to xorg, see this commit DONE

Known issues with test2

• core/lilo depends on libdevmapper which is provided by opt/lvm2
• alsa-lib is not injected (xulrunner depends on alsa-lib as of version 3.5)
