This file is mostly obsolete.  One day I will go through it and remove
the tasks that have been done, and convert any remaining tasks to
enhancement requests or bugs on SourceForge.

2001-07-14  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * Does "delta" handle disk-full gracefully?  (SourceForge task id
        34497).

1999-04-05  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * If the user specifies a list of included deltas and one of the
        manually-included deltas is NEWER than the supplied cutoff date,
        do we get the delta, or not?  (This is SourceForge task id 34490)

1998-06-02  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * Determine if execv("foo", argv) under glibc2 on Linux will run a
          "foo" in the current directory.  See if unsetting $PATH makes a
          difference.  There may be security implications here for
          bsd/sccs.c (see try_to_exec).  (This is SourceForge task id 34491).

1998-04-08  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * Find out if SCO's "unget" produces any output.  We currently
          output a SID but it looks like SCO's does not.
          (This is SourceForge task ID 34492).

        * also, tests/prt/all-512.txt suffers from the fact that
          SCO does not have "prt"!    No idea if it exists
          but lives in a funny place, etc.
          (This is SourceForge task ID 34493).

1998-02-08  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * Find out if genuine SCCS works when the s-file's name
          contains a space.  Find out particularly if the right
          thing happens when delta invokes diff.
          (This is SourceForge task ID 34494)

1998-02-01  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * tests: Testing for binary files:
        OK, check that "prs -d:GB:", "prs -d:BD:" and "prt -b" work OK.
        Also check zero-length files, keyword substitution, large
        binary files.
        (SourceForge task ID 34498).


1998-01-25  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        * bodyio.cc: Test what happens if the text input ends with
          "%A", that is, the peeked character is EOF.  At the moment,
          we ungetc(EOF); is that valid?
          (This is SourceForge task id 34495)

        * bodyio.cc: Test for sane behaviour if we get a disk-full
          condition while writing the body part of an SCCS file
          with admin -i.   Especially important for text files;
          we probably want to avoid retrying with binary encoding.
          (This is SourceForge task ID 34496)

Wed Nov 12 00:00:44 1997  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.org>

        (This is SourceForge task ID 34487)

        * Write test cases for admin's -h, -l, -V, and -z flags.

        * Write test cases for delta's -g, -n, -p, -r, -s flags.

        * Write test cases for get's -i, -l, -lp flags.

Mon Aug  4 23:33:16 1997  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Check that Dave Bodenstab's changes also provide for running the
        test suite under SunOS, as I suspect -- because all that was
        required was the ability to select a shell other than /bin/sh.
        (This is SourceForge task id 34499)


Sat Jun 28 12:25:12 1997  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Allow the utilities to be built with a shared library containing
        at least $(SFILE_OBJS) and $(COMMON_OBJS).  May have to provide
        two version numbers, one for the library and one for each app.  I
        don't expect to need/want to support user code linking against the
        library, the intent is just to conserve disk space and perhaps
        system memory too. [ 2000-12-03: JY: not certain if this is a
        good plan ]
        (This is SourceForge task id 34500)

Sun May 25 16:27:05 1997  James Youngman  <jay@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Complete the test cases in admin/flags.sh.
        (This is SourceForge task ID 34501).

Sat May  3 11:45:19 1997  James Youngman  <james@bugalugs.no.where>

        * Check the interaction between any -r option to get and the
        release floors and ceilings.  (SourceForge task ID 34489).

        * Write a shell script for converting SCCS files to RCS files; use
        the Bourne shell, since not everybody has the C shell [suggested
        by RMS].
        (This is SourceForge task ID 34503).
