Note that many of these are just random ideas, not all of them will get implemented
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-0.6.6:
-* show a warning if all packages are pinned in apt settings
-* fix: confirmation dialog has wrong parent set
-
0.7:
-- update install/remove changes directly to internal package db & don't require re-reading package lists afterwards
- support loading .install files
- support installing local .debs
- dbus interface for installing packages by name
- mime type handling for .install and .deb (can it be done without conflicting HAM?)
-- warn about unauthenticated packages / option to disable installing unauthenticated packages
0.8 (possibly):
- "problem solver" window/feature (find broken packages, handle recovery from broken packages better)
-- possible to save package selection or a list of installed (user category) packages anywhere
+- possible to save package selection or a list of installed (user category) packages anywhere ("backup & restore")
+- support translations
later/any/uncertain:
- don't lose package selections when returning to main menu
(autostore/load selections - to different file than normal store)
-- show download speed for apt-get update
+- update install/remove changes directly to internal package db & don't require re-reading package lists afterwards
- keep a list of recently removed apps for easy reinstallation
- add an option to start fetching changelogs automatically for all upgradeable packages?
- how to handle package names that end in '-'? (theoretically they are valid but nonexistent?)
- filtering by repository / repository color coding?
- make sure network is online on startup?
- fetch dates for other than user categories?
-- "online search" (a new button to main menu): use maemo.org search to find packages without loading local package lists (?)
- ability to easily add extras-devel and extras-testing to repos if they don't exist
- load package lists in the background when the main menu is visible?
- read all hildon app manager repository settings (requires too much work...)
-- possible to select cache location?
+- option to select cache location?
+- possibility to force reinstall of an already installed package
+- warn about unauthenticated packages / option to disable installing unauthenticated packages
+- show download speed and current repo for apt-get update (very hard since apt-get update output does not show
+ all the information needed to get the current list file names?)
known bugs:
- possible to get stuck in portrait mode (wait for Qt autorotation fix)
+- no window menu indicator in stacked windows (probably Qt bug)
- updating menu icons after installation does not work or works only sometimes (currently disabled)
