I figured I'd sit down and write out thoughts on the remaining bugs so we can have a jumping off point for what needs to be worked on. Here goes. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-34 Enable replicator to use HTTP authentication I'm guessing that this is affected by Damien's rep_security patch hitting trunk. Someone more familiar with that bit should check, but hopefully this one is as easy as "already done." * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-67 Allow unicode characters in database names. No patch provided. Chris Anderson added a link to one of Antony's github repositories that's got some code for this. If no one steps up and offers a patch on this one I would vote for pushing it to 0.10. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-128 couchdb is not starting properly from init.d script in trunk Patrick Antivackis reports problems with the "-e" flag on the shebang line for different platforms and makes a request for setting the user CouchDB runs as in the init.d script. No idea about the "-e" flag, but we should probably add the CouchDB username option if I'm not just missing it. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-135 Offset regression between 0.8.0 and trunk. There's a patch on JIRA for this one that's been confirmed to solve the issue. I'm waiting for Damien's feedback because he thought the btree modification was wrong. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-163 replicate attachments without Base64 encoding If I read my commit logs correctly, Adam comitted a patch that fixes this for one of the two replication directions. Not sure where things should go from here. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-169 POSIX shell incompatibilities Looks like Noah's got some notes about what needs to be done. I'm not at all certain what this would entail. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-172 Updating and deleting the same document with _bulk_docs There's a patch that shows that if you save a doc, and then make a _bulk_docs request with an edited version and a _deleted=True version a conflict is raised as would be expected. The original reporter hasn't confirmed or denied that the error still exists. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-178 $PREFIX/etc/default/couchdb not installed I can't say much other than that its installed on my system. I don't have enough autotools-fu to spot any errors looking through the various Makefile.am's * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-183 No pagination in Futon for reduce views Looks like Jason Davies has got a couple patches up for this one. I haven't tried applying them but he's left a note saying that there's a todo item for blank pages at the beginning or end of the key range. I'd defer to Christopher Lenz on this one. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-185 group=true is silently dropped in non-reduce views There's a patch posted that has some consequences for Futon. Specifically, the first visit to a view page results in a full reduce (no group=true) being executed. I asked Christopher Lenz about this and things kinda got dropped there. Also of note is whether the error code for this should be a 500 or 400. I went with 500 because I treated it the same as any of the other view parameter errors (and it was easier to code :). There's also the case of group=true&group_level=0 not being detected by this patch. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-194 [startkey, endkey[: provide a right-open range selection method There's no patch for this yet. I looked once and got confused on how to implement this for the start key. IIRC, the issue is that there is some weird interplay between the current options and how the inclusive might work. I'll take a closer look at this tonight and see if I can remember what was up with it. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-221 Test that validation and authorization work properly with replicated edits. Hopefully this is part of the rep_security patch and can just be closed as is. I'll defer to Adam and Damien for this one. * https://issues.apache.org:443/jira/browse/COUCHDB-223 Document a way to find out failed writes fro bulk requests and async writes I'm also going to defer on this one. Hopefully its as simple as adding a note to the document api wiki page. That's all I got. Hopefully we can get those cleaned up without too much pain. HTH, Paul Davis
