We now use the Bugzilla installation at Lysator to handle the bugs and
feature requests of lyskomd. See the following:

The numbers in brackets in this file refers to bug id:s in the
bugzilla database. The bugs were copied to Bugzilla during October
2001.

This file attempts to list the things that need to be done on this
server.
* Showstoppers
None!
* Unsorted.
[5]
** New aux-item: text is world-readable without login.
See 6839340 with comments.
[6]
** New request: get-boottime-info. See 6539796 with comments.
[7]
** No async message is sent when a user-area is changed.
** Move this list to a better forum.
[8]
** "make dvi" doesn't work.
Fix texinfo.tex, or consider using makeinfo as a preprocessor to
perform the macro expansion and than running texi2dvi as normal.
Don't stop using macros in the source file Protocol-A.texi, since
they really do help in maintaining up-to-date documentation.
* High priority, but they can wait until after the next release.
[9]
** Protocol-A.texi doesn't define what "letterbox" (and similar
strings) in the definition of built-in aux-times means.
[10]
** Fix dbck so that it can repair the database damage created by
lyskomd 2.0.0. Some work done on the "dbckmultiplechoice" branch
of dbck.c.
[12]
** src/server/testsuite/lyskomd.0/gen-15.py should be enhanced.
It only tests a tiny fraction of what should be tested.
[11]
** There is no timeout for unused sessions, and we don't use TCP
keepalive packets.
[13]
** The names of various conferences are suspect. (4219085)
[14]
** Implement the aux-item "recommended-conf".
[21]
** Write a make-backup-copy shellscript.
** Test the distribution under Red Hat 6.0.
** Features
[22]
*** Reload configuration.
Aux-items are now reloaded on a WINCH signal. Reload other params too.
[23]
*** Cross references should create a mirror item.
[24]
*** --with-language should select the collate table.
[25]
*** Generic mirror-this-aux-item trigger
** Testing
[26, 27, 28, 29]
*** No test case for attempting to garbage collect a text that has an
aux item with a dont-garb flag. No test for cc-recpt preventing
garbage collection that would be allowed by recpt. Ditto for
bcc-recpt. No test for cc-recpt that permits garbage collection
when recpt also does. No test for sent-at preventing garbage
collection.
** We still leak secrets
[30]
*** login, login_old
If the person is secret we should return KOM_UNDEF_PERS unless the
password is correct or the session has privileges to see the
person. Right now we can map out secret persons by attempting to
log in with the wrong password.
[31]
*** change_conference
If the conference exists but is secret we return not-member. We
should return KOM_UNDEF_CONF.
[32]
*** create_person_old
*** create_person
*** change_name
*** create_conf
*** create_conf_old
If we try to use a name to the name of a secret conference we
return KOM_CONF_EXISTS. We can't really do a lot to prevent this.
[33]
*** get_session_info
*** get_session_info_ident
Returns the number of secret persons and secret conferences even
if the viewer has no right to see them.
[35]
*** set_priv_bits
*** set_passwd
Does not check if the caller is allowed to see the person.
[37]
*** get_unread_confs
Does not check that the caller is allowed to see the person, and
returns the correct result even for secret persons, including
secret confs!
[38, 39]
*** set_user_area
*** set_presentation (do_set_presentation)
*** set_etc_motd (do_set_etc_motd)
Allows us to set user area to any text, even secret ones. Leaks
information by returning error for deleted texts and non-error for
all other texts.
[40]
*** lookup_name and similar functions
Not really checked.
[41]
*** get-members
Leaks number of secret members since they are not completely
deleted from the member list, just zeroed out.
[42]
*** add_member
*** add_member_old
Returns KOM_INVALID_MEMBERSHIP if we attempt to add secret person
to open conf as secret member when conf does not allow secret
members. This allows us to find all secret persons. This check is
done before we check if the user making the call is allowed to see
the conference, so it lets us find out which secret conferences
allow secret members. It is possible to add secret persons as
memberships. If the person is already a secret member the call
appears to succeed but the membership is still secret, so it is
possible to find all persons who are secret members of a
conference.
[43]
*** sub_member
No access check on conference or person before attempting to
locate membership. As a result we can find out if a conference
exists by attempting to sub_member with a nonexistant person. If
we get a KOM_UNDEF_PERS, the conference exists. Fix by doing
access checks right after getting the conf_c and pers_p from the
database. The final if statement is also suspect.
[44]
*** set_unread
*** set_last_read
No access check on conference before attempting to locate
membership. This means we can locate all secret conferences.
[45]
*** set_permitted_submitters
*** set_supervisor
*** set_super_conf
Existance check for new supervisor/permitted submitters/super
before access check on conference being changed. We can use this
to map out all secret conferences.
[46]
*** set_conf_type
No access check on conference before examining conference type.
Use this to map out all secret conferences.
[47] (Invalid: see http://bugzilla.lysator.liu.se/show_bug.cgi?id=47)
*** unmark_text
No access check on the text. This is done in do_unmark_text, but
is is not immediately obvious why it works (although it does.)
Should add an explicit search for the mark before doing anything
else. Maybe.
[48]
*** mark_as_read
No access check on conf before attempting to locate membership. We
can use this to map out all secret conferences.
[49]
*** sub_footnote
*** sub_comment
No read access check on texts before checking if they are
comments. This allows us to map out all secret texts and all
comment chains (just try sub_comment for all pairs of texts that
might be in the system or all secret texts found by some other
method.)
[50]
*** get-last-text
May return a secret text since no access checks are made on the
result.
[51]
*** who_is_on_dynamic
*** who_is_on_ident
*** who_is_on
*** who_is_on_old
Returns secret persons and secret working conferences. No
filtering is done on the result.
[52, 54]
** Change read-texts. (4111477)
[55]
** modify_conf_info can operate on an rd_protected conf.
Perhaps we should have a flag that says an item can be added only
by members of the conference?
[56]
** get_conf_stat returns aux_items for rd_prot confs.
We should almost certainly have a way of filtering out some aux
items so they are not visible to non-members.
[57]
** Remove src/include/compiler.h and use autoconf tests instead.
Is NORETURN used where it should be used?
[58] (Fixed: see http://bugzilla.lysator.liu.se/show_bug.cgi?id=58)
** Fix configure.in. The output of ./configure --help isn't as good
as it should be. See libisc.
[3]
** The configure script fails if neither flex nor lex can be found.
[59]
** async-text-deleted (and possibly others) should be sent to
recipients of any of the objects linked to the text that is
deleted.
[61]
** Add an enable_val value to the Person structure, and use it when no
session is available.
[62]
** Handle timetravel better.
[63]
** Add leaks tests for all situtations when the client gets
disconnected from the server.
[64]
** Statement coverage tests for the aux-item-def parser
[65]
** Fix the markup in the Texinfo files
[66]
** Consider changing many paths so that it is safe to install lyskomd
with prefix=/usr/local.
How about saving this for the next release and then support
various other path conventions?
[67]
** Add a checksum on each object in the database.
[69]
** The text-mass file should contain some redundancy. At a minimum, it
should store the text number and text length of each text, so that
there is absolutely no risk that the wrong text is displayed. (That
has actually happened more than once due to faulty hardware or
operating systems--we should do better.)
[70]
** Should anyone be able to set their letterbox to secret?
[ignored]
** Fixa s{kerhetsbuggen vid read_texts et c. Det b|r vara s} att man
inte f}r veta mappningen s} ofta som nu. Vilka texter som {r l{sta
b|r ocks} vara mer hemligt. Ett nytt anrop, query_unread(), b|r
inf|ras. Resultatet {r antalet ol{sat brev och _kanske_
Local_text_no f|r det h|gsta nummret.
(Det var l{nge sen jag skrev det h{r, och jag minns inte riktigt
vad jag menar, men man borde nog titta p} det h{r s} sm}ningom).
[71]
** Asynchronous messages may not be censored enough. Check all
messages that contain conf-nos.
[72]
** Add triggers have to have the capability of preventing addition.
This is difficult since we check the validity of addition before
adding the items. The prevention would have to happen in the check
phase, when the triggers are not called. The correct solution is
probably to implement validation functions in addition to
validation strings and let the validation function take care of
checking if the item can be added.
[6]
** The Info structure should contain statistics about the server
(uptime, other interesting stuff.) (from 1991)
Implement a new call for this.
[73]
** Fix proper ctor/dtor semantics of everything in memory.c. _clear
is an abomination.
[74]
** Call to s_fcrea_str in prot_a_get_token should be removed. There is
really no reason why we can't us a statically allocated string
instead (I know, this is microoptimization, but this function gets
called a *lot*)
Measurements shows that more than 95% of the calls to s_fcrea_str
originates from prot_a_get_token. They also show that
s_fcrea_str and its descendants uses approximately 22 out of
35000 seconds.
[75]
** Change log.c to something better.
[76]
** Look over all places where restart_kom is called. Frequently the
error is not severe enough to warrant panicing (or so I think.) For
example, if cached_create_person fails it is very serious, but all
code that calls this function is prepared to deal with the
problems.
[77]
** Actually remove all man pages. This must wait till after the next release.
[78]
** We have to be able to limit creation of certain aux-items to users
with special privileges. Most of the import/export items need
this. Put in a new flag in the aux-item-definition file, add it to
the parser, check it in aux_item_check_add_perm or whatever the
hell the function was named. Test it. The biggest problem is to
figure out what permissions should be needed. I suppose it's
possible that we could let the user specify level and bits in the
aux-items.conf file, but that would mean mucking more with the
parser.

and that all local add-times of texts in confereces are
consecutive.

** Fix Nisse's text garbing procedure. See doc/IDEAS for details.
[83]
** Proof-read Protocol-A.texi.
[84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91]
** Consider implementing aux-infos that are the "reverse" of a Mark,
of the aux-info faq-text, of a presentation, et c. Once that is
done, the mark_text field of the Text_stat can be removed. More
importantly, it can easily be seen which conference a text is a
presentation for (et c). We also get more redundancy that dbck can
use. (3490225)
I think that we want a more complex mark structure, and have
both text and marker know about the marks on a particular
text.
[92]
** Consider implementing an aux-info that causes comments of a text,
or of all texts written by the author, to get a bcc-recpt to the
authors letterbox. Make sure that this bcc-recpt is not the only
thing that makes it possible for the person to read the text.
(3381984, 3382009)
[93]
** Define and implement asynchronous messages for cache inconsitency.
This is partially done. -- DCB
One problematic situation is when a new comment is created, and a
conference that is a recipient of the commented text is not a
member of the comment. Any user that is a member of that
conference will not receive the new_text message, so his cache will
not be updated.
[94]
** Add an improved internal structure for the text_stat list to avoid
a large fixed-size array.
[96]
** Document the mark bits. (6390, 24358, 24444, 40876, 42356, 45110,
1111605, 2687219)
Better still, implement a more complex mark structure rather
than using the current mark number as a bitfield. We need to
be able to see what marks are set on a given text. -- DCB
[97]
** Document the user area.
[98]
** Add a separate subject field (a short string) to the Text-stat.
Problems: should the subject be restricted to ISO 8859-1?
[100]
** Remove cache_node.s.snapshot (in cache-node.h). It is unused.
* Lower priority than the above-mentioned things.
[102]
** isc_disable()/isc_enable() should be used, so that a single session
cannot starve other sessions. We might need a better mechanism
than isc_disable()/isc_enable.
[6]
** The Info structure should contain statistics about the server
(uptime, other interesting stuff.) (from 1991)
[103]
** difftime is not used everywhere where it should be used. There are
a few places where '-' is still used to get a diff in seconds.
[104]
** Fix something that can replace the user_area. The elisp-client
creates a new user-area each time a person creates a permanent
filter. What a waste of text numbers! It would be better to have
a way to store per-user configuration separately. It should
probably be keyed data, but separating it in different sections
like we do with the user-area really doesn't make much sense.
[82]
** Comments should optionally inhibit the garb (3608307). See IDEAS.
[105]
** Do something about how large texts are sent back to the client. We
should probably get rid of ISC altogether. See IDEAS.
[107]
** Performance enhancement: Don't emit asynchronous messages
immediately. Attempt to write, say, 4 KB of data at a time to the
clients. The server currently makes a lot of small writes.
[85, 86]
** Introduced aux-items that states that "this text is the
presentation/motd of conference so-and-so".
[108]
** Run the garb at 02:00 (configurable) rather than every 24 hours.
[ignored]
** Some generalized way to query the server for (unread) texts with a
certain aux-item set. (see 21415 for motivation)
[109]
** Write a "lyskomd hackers guide" (requested in 24684).
[110]
** Tree-structure for the conferences (41768).
Yay! See the IDEAS file for some concrete ideas on how to do
this. -- DCB.
[111]
** Don't include so much information in the Person and Conference
structures internally in the server. A Conference is (probably)
used much more often than the large internal lists within it.
For active conferences, the l2g map is probably used a lot. However
the created-texts map for a person is not used a lot. The
read-texts part of memberships get updated a lot. For maximum gains
we probably have to split off the created-texts map and make is
possible to read individual memberships from disk. The entire thing
should be hidden from most of the server by automatically reading
bits of maps or memberships on demand from disk. High-level
functions shouldn't have to know about this.
[ignored -- too big a change]
** Improve the data base. Text 250010 contains some ideas for a grand
redesign.
[112]
** A better way to "list active conferences" than to get the
conference status of every conference and sort them on the
last-written field. According to 310351 PortaKOM had the command
"Lista aktiva mten". We should be as good as PortaKOM in every
aspect. But see text 3604479 which outlines a way to implement this
in a client in a reasonably efficient way without support from the
server.
[113]
** Stack-based slow searching? See 1013917 for some ideas.
[114]
** 103=local-to-global and 34=get-map should be able to return more
information when applied to e. g. letterboxes. It should return
information about all texts that ACTPERS is allowed to read. See
678026 and 678411 for more thoughts about this.
[115]
** Re-run the test in 775202 and see if anything can be improved.
[116]
** New version of mark_as_read:
void mark_as_read(Text_no);
All examined clients emulate this call with a loop over all
recipients of the text.
[117]
** Text parts, so that we can have both audio and text.
[118]
** Keyword support on texts.
[119]
** Keyword support on conferences (1112142, 1112200).
[120]
** Version numbering on calls? (1441352)
[122]
** A possibility to ask for conferences created after a certain date.
(1622840). Dubious value; the new conferences should have a
presentation.
[121]
** Add a call to retrieve the highest used conference number, so that
a client can loop over all conferences/detect when new conferences
have been created while the client wasn't logged on.
[123]
** Add get_next_conf/get_previous_conf calls, to be able to loop
through the conferences.
[124]
** A documented way to store the prefered language in the common block
of the user area (1632323).
[125]
** Check the rules for when you are allowed to change a recpt to a
cc-recpt. (1901530, 2329667, 2329682). (This may already be
implemented -- check it.)
[92]
** It would be nice if an author could be notified whenever a text
written by him was commented. 3381984 and 3382009 outlines a way to
implement that using a special aux-info and automatic adding of a
bcc-recpt by the server to the new comment.
[126]
** There should be a limit on how many texts you can mark as read in a
conference to avoid the list becoming too long. This bug has a low
priority. Footnote (1991-01-24): When Inge's Numlist package is
finished, this won't matter any more. This bug requires no other
action. Footnote (1999-01-18): When will the package be done?

** mx-foo (4160925)
Several mx-related aux-items are now present in Protocol-A.texi.
** Who is allowed to remove an faq-text-aux-item? 6024603.
Added owner-delete parameter to aux-item definition as this is a
somewhat more general problem. It is getting obvious that the
original code for handling access to aux-items is getting stretched
beyond its limits. The code could stand a complete rewrite that
would allow for detailed control of access to items depending on
the type objects they are attached to.

** Remove the man pages for lyskomd and dbck.
DONE. All man pages still exists, but they only refer to the

** The redirect aux-info needs more documentation. See FIXME comment
in Protocol-A.texi.
FIXED.
** Validation of aux-items.
DONE. Regexp validation done.
** Ability to have a callback function when an aux-item is created,
removed, changed or resurrected. (This is according to 3053346
critical. Why?)

FIXED.
** Newline terminates requests. Check that a wording similar to that
in 1509862 is present in Protocol-A.texi.

** Should the conference supervisor be able to set the secret bit of a
membership type? Probably yes. Maybe no.
DONE. Can't set forbid-secret to true if there are secret
members. Conference supervisor will have to boot secret
members or convince them to convert.
** Create a "server hackers guide" and move the contents of

matter. I don't think it anything to do with the server. The
user area has been implemented. There's another todo item
about documenting it. Marks and keywords are covered by

** Parsing arrays that are longer than the maximum length is not

The test for param.regexps_use_collate_table is inverted.
It doesn't work anyway. Results are *strange*.
FIXED.
** send_async_new_recipient in text.c sends asyncs for BCC recipients.
DONE.
* In progress

Det menar du inte?
Ceder har nog inga beskrivningar som har att gra med import av email.
Det som ceder frgade om var en aux-item som anvnds fr att sta
emailadress p personer, mten eller servern, inte texter.
Som jag lser ditt mail s tycker du att fljande aux-items behvs och
r tillrckliga:
1. Extern mottagare fr inlgg
Vad innehller aux-item? En sladdpostadress? Vad anvnds den till?
Vem anvnder den?
2. "Reply-to" p mten
En Reply-To header som skall sttas p mail som exporteras frn
brevldan. Vem r ansvarig fr exporten? Klienten eller en
exportr?
3. "From" p mten
Se 2.
4. CC p mten
Se 2.
5. Adress till mailinglista
Kan sttas p mten och innehller en sladdpostadress dit mail
skall skickas. Vem r ansvarig fr att skicka mail? En exportr
eller klienten?
6. Diverse mailhuvuden p enstaka importerade inlgg
Du har nmnt message-id, from, reply-to, to och cc. Jag freslr
att man dessutom har ett item som sger att inlgget r ett
importerat mail och att man sparar alla headerrader i inlgget.
Det r upp till klienten att besluta om den skall visa dem eller
inte.
7. "Spamfilter"
En strng som tolkas av importren. Antagligen vill du ha
klientspecifika aux-items fr detta, om du inte definierar ett
lagom stort och stabilt sprk fr filtreringen.
r det hr tillrckligt? Om s r fallet, checka ut aux-items.def ur
lyskomd, skriv in dina definitioner och dokumentera dem i
Protocol-A.texi.

13 och 14 ser bra ut. Jag tycker du tar bort parentesen i slutet av
beskrivningen av vad 13 betyder nr den r satt p ett mte.
Eventuellt skulle man kunna sga p nummer 13 att innehllet fr best
av tv saker separerade med space. Det frsta r i s fall en
identifierare. Fljande identifierare r definierade: "list-address"
och "subscription-address". Eller nt. Jag vet inte. Skriv ngot t
det hr hllet om du tycker det verkar OK.

Jag skulle nog nstan hellre stoppa in en ny aux-item som r
moderatoradress. Eller rent av lta list-address och
subscription-address vara tv nya aux-items, och bara tillta nummer
13 p brevldor. D blir 13 en persons emailaddress.
Hmm. Fr ett mte som "Idonex" vill man kanske stoppa dit en aux-item
som r ngot typ "sales@idonex.se". Renast blir nog om 13 str fr
emailadresser som hr till en fysisk person, juridisk person, eller
liknande. (Filosofisk frga: r en mailinglista "ngot liknande"
eller ngot vsensskillt?)
