Group Poor man's save/restore state.
There may be better save/restore state strategies.
Group Repository content manipulating methods.
maybe a separate Repository/Solvable content manip interface provided by the pool.
Group RESFILTERS
migrate to namespace filter and enhance to support Solvables as well.
Member SET_OPTION (opt, val)
deprecate SET_OPTION and use the typed versions below.
Group Trimming whitepace.
optimize l/r trim.

Member zypp::Arch::CompatEntry::CompatBits
Migrate to some infinite BitField
Class zypp::base::Fd
It's dumb. Openflags and more related functions (read/write..) could be added.
Class zypp::base::ReferenceCounted
Make counter thread safe.
Class zypp::base::SafeBool< _Derived >
Investigate why Bit refuses private inheritance and exposition of operator bool_type. Seems to be a gcc bug. protected works.
Namespace zypp::bit
Use boost::mpl library to assert constraints at compiletime! There various like (_IntT is an integral type) (begin+size < maxbits) or ( field dependent constants must be within the range defined by size ).
Class zypp::DefaultIntegral< _Tp, _Initial >

maybe specialize for bool, add logical and bit operators

let _Initial default to 0 then remove base/Counter.h

Member zypp::Dep::Dep (const std::string &strval_r)
refine exceptions and check throw.
Class zypp::DtorReset
Check if using call_traits enables 'DtorReset(std::string,"value")', as this currently would require assignment of 'char[]'.
Class zypp::Exception
That's a draft to have a common way of throwing exceptions. Most probabely we'll finally use blocxx exceptions. Here, but not in the remaining code of zypp. If we can we should try to wrap the blocxx macros and typedef the classes in here.
Member zypp::Fetcher::enqueueDigested (const OnMediaLocation &resource, const FileChecker &checker=FileChecker(), const Pathname &deltafile=Pathname())
FIXME implement checker == operator to avoid this.
Namespace zypp::filesystem

move zypp::filesystem stuff into separate header

Add tmpfile and tmpdir handling.

think about using Exceptions in zypp::filesystem

provide a readdir iterator; at least provide an interface using an insert_iterator to be independent from std::container.

Member zypp::filesystem::erase (const Pathname &path)
check cooperation with zypp::TmpFile and zypp::TmpDir
Member zypp::filesystem::FileType
Think about an Enumeration Class
Class zypp::filesystem::Pathname

Add support for handling extensions incl. stripping extensions from basename (basename("/path/foo.baa", ".baa") ==> "foo")

Review. Maybe use COW pimpl, check storage.

remove prfx_i

Member zypp::filesystem::readdir (std::list< std::string > &retlist, const Pathname &path, bool dots=true)
provide some readdirIterator.
Member zypp::filesystem::readdir (std::list< Pathname > &retlist, const Pathname &path, bool dots=true)
provide some readdirIterator.
Namespace zypp::functor::functor_detail
drop it an use boost::ref
Namespace zypp::HACK
Eliminate this!
Class zypp::HistoryLog
The implementation as pseudo signleton is questionable. Use shared_ptr instead of handcrafted ref/unref. Manage multiple logs at different locations.
Class zypp::IdStringType< Derived >

allow redefinition of order vis _doCompare not only for char* but on any level

Class zypp::Locale
migrate to IdString
Member zypp::make (const sat::Solvable &solvable_r)
make<> was a poor choice (AFAIR because gcc had some trouble with asKind<>(sat::Solvable)). Remove it in favour of asKind<>(sat::Solvable)
Class zypp::media::CredentialManager

better method names

delete(AuthData) method

Member zypp::media::CredentialManager::addCred (const AuthData &cred)

Currently no callback is called, credentials are automatically saved to user's credentials.cat if no 'credentials' parameter has been specified

ask user where to store these creds. saving to user creds for now

Member zypp::media::CredentialManager::getCred (const Url &url)
return a copy instead?
Member zypp::media::CredentialManager::saveInFile (const AuthData &, const Pathname &credFile)
figure out the reason(?), call back to user
Class zypp::media::CredManagerOptions
configurable cred file locations
Member zypp::media::MediaCIFS::authenticate (AuthData &authdata, bool firstTry) const

need a way to pass different CredManagerOptions here

add comma to the message for the next release

find a way to save the url with changed username back to repoinfo or dont store urls with username (and either forbid more repos with the same url and different user, or return a set of credentials from CM and try them one by one)

Member zypp::media::MediaCurl::authenticate (const std::string &availAuthTypes, bool firstTry) const

need a way to pass different CredManagerOptions here

add comma to the message for the next release

find a way to save the url with changed username back to repoinfo or dont store urls with username (and either forbid more repos with the same url and different user, or return a set of credentials from CM and try them one by one)

Member zypp::media::MediaCurl::progressCallback (void *clientp, double dltotal, double dlnow, double ultotal, double ulnow)
more accurate download rate computationn, e.g. compute average value from last 5 seconds, or work with milliseconds instead of seconds
Member zypp::media::MediaISO::attachTo (bool next=false)
make this thread-safe - another thread might pick up the same device
Class zypp::media::MediaPriority
Maybe introduce a static tribool, to allow overwriting zypp.conf(download.media_preference) default.
Member zypp::MediaSetAccess::provideDir (const Pathname &dir, bool recursive, unsigned media_nr=1, ProvideFileOptions options=PROVIDE_DEFAULT)
throw SkipRequestException if a problem occured and user has chosen to skip the current operation. The calling code should continue with the next one, if possible.
Member zypp::misc::defaultLoadSystem (const Pathname &sysRoot_r="/", LoadSystemFlags flags_r=LoadSystemFlags())
properly handle service refreshs
Class zypp::OnMediaLocation
Implement cheap copy via COW.
Class zypp::packagedelta::DeltaRpm
cheap copy! (switch to RWCOW)
Member zypp::parser::RepoindexFileReader::Impl::consumeNode (Reader &reader_r)
FIXME this hardcodes the "/repo/" fragment - should not be if we want it to be usable by others!
Member zypp::parser::yum::RepomdFileReader::Impl::consumeNode (Reader &reader_r)
xpath: /repomd/open-checksum (?)
Member zypp::PoolItem::PoolItemSaver
get rid of it.
Class zypp::PoolItemBest
Support arbitrary Predicates.
Member zypp::PoolQuery::addAttribute (const sat::SolvAttr &attr, const std::string &value="")
check the above
Member zypp::PoolQuery::setRequireAll (bool require_all=true)
doesn't work yet, don't use this function
Member zypp::Product::UrlList::ListType
Change to directly iterate the .solv
Class zypp::ProgressData

Complete the progess sending.

Tell recipient whether percentage or keepalive is sent, the id and name might be helpfull, and maybe tell whether task is abortable or not; i.e extend the ReceiverFnc signature.

Member zypp::readRepoFile (const Url &repo_file)
add MediaManager::provideFile(Url file_url) to easily access any file URLs? (no need for media access id or media_nr)
Member zypp::Rel::Rel (const std::string &strval_r)
refine exceptions and check throw.
Member zypp::repo::RepoMediaAccess::Impl::mediaAccessForUrl (const Url &url, RepoInfo repo)
This mixture of media and repos specific data is fragile.
Member zypp::repo::RepoMediaAccess::provideFile (RepoInfo repo_r, const OnMediaLocation &loc_r, const ProvideFilePolicy &policy_r)
Investigate why this needs a non-const Repository as arg.
Member zypp::repo::yum::Downloader::repomd_Callback (const OnMediaLocation &loc, const ResourceType &dtype)
do this through a ZConfig call so that it is always in sync with parser
Class zypp::RepoCollector
do this through a separate filter
Member zypp::RepoManager::addRepository (const RepoInfo &info, const ProgressData::ReceiverFnc &progressrcv=ProgressData::ReceiverFnc())
use a method calling UI callbacks to ask where to save creds?
Member zypp::RepoManager::addService (const ServiceInfo &service)
use a method calling UI callbacks to ask where to save creds?
Member zypp::RepoManager::modifyService (const std::string &oldAlias, const ServiceInfo &service)

do nothing? the repos will be enabled on service refresh

how to know the service needs a (auto) refresh????

refresh the service automatically if url is changed?

Member zypp::RepoManager::refreshService (const std::string &alias)
add callbacks for apps (start, end, repo removed, repo added, repo changed)
Member zypp::RepoStatus::RepoStatus (const Pathname &file)
Add recursive option for dirs so we finaly get the same as parser::plaindir::dirStatus and can unify both.
Class zypp::Resolvable
Merge with ResObject
Class zypp::ResPoolProxy
integrate it into ResPool
Class zypp::ResPoolProxy::Impl
Seedup as it is still using old index
Class zypp::sat::ArrayAttr< _ResultT, _AttrT >
Maybe add some way to unify the result.
Member zypp::sat::detail::PoolImpl::getRepo (RepoIdType id_r) const
a quick check whether the repo was meanwhile deleted.
Member zypp::sat::detail::PoolImpl::prepare () const
actually requires a watcher.
Class zypp::sat::LocaleSupport
If iterator is too slow install a proxy watching the Pool::serial.
Class zypp::sat::WhatObsoletes
Publish obsoleteUsesProvides config option.
Class zypp::solver::detail::Resolver
Merge this and class SATResolver.
Class zypp::solver::detail::SATResolver
The way solver options are passed as individual booleans from Resolver via solver::detail::Resolver to SATResolver is pedestrian and error prone.
Member zypp::solver::detail::SATResolver::doUpdate ()
duplicate code to be joined with solving.
Member zypp::str::escape (const C_Str &str_r, const char c= ' ')

use C_Str instead of std::string to prevent unnecessary promotion to string if used with "string".
