Use boost::mpl library to assert constraints at compiletime! There various like (TInt is an integral type) (begin+size < maxbits) or ( field dependent constants must be within the range defined by size ).

Class zypp::C_Str

Check whether to replace by boost::string_ref

Class zypp::DefaultIntegral< Tp, TInitial >

maybe specialize for bool, add logical and bit operators

let TInitial 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")

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

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

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)

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.

See Also: zypp::media::MediaManager::provideDir(); zypp::media::MediaManager::provideDirTree()

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::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::Product::UrlList::ListType

Change to directly iterate the .solv

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::susetags::Downloader::download (MediaSetAccess &media, const Pathname &dest_dir, const ProgressData::ReceiverFnc &progress=ProgressData::ReceiverFnc())
