Possible features of urpmi for next release :* rpm 4.1 support (for those poor souls forced to work with RH8.X)
* virtual medium (no need to update explicitely, only with synthesis ?). * delay before accepting using a package from a medium (cooker) * always ask confirmation if fuzzy search is used (even for 1 package) * on the fly sorting of media (according to regex like file,rsync,ftp,http) * urpm centralized tools, as well as perl-URPM managing media. * p2p urpmi database (export database as magic synthesis) * -h by default for urpmi.addmedia * do install of package by groups which are shorter as possible (apt-get like) * allow file conflicts error to be handled by recovering errors and try again. * conflicts, provides and requires tag added for global rpm behaviour in order to allow broken dependencies to be not resolved or to avoid removing important package (generalize basesystem)
Any other idea are wellcome.
* extra switch for urpmq. When calculating dependancies, take the package which is installed / and continue to climb down the dependancy tree.
for example: "urpmq -dp basesystem"
in the resulting list you'll find multiple packages that satisfy a dependancy for basesystem. These packages are printed like:
"vim-enhanced|vim-minimal|vim-X11"
I'd like a switch that will pick the package which is installed on the system (vim-minimal in my case now) and add the packages which are dependant on vim-minimal to the list. Effectively run urpmq -dp against vim-minimal.
This is usefull for "cleanup scripts" and BuildRequires calculations.
Out of scope for urpm*, but in scope for rpm:
* automatic dependancy system (find-provides, find-requires) that can compute dependancies for -devel packages. Currently this is all done manually and is very inaccurate. Make a find-[provides|requires] script that can search through header files (and other stuff in -devel packages) and sort out the dependancies with other -devel packages.
