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]

[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.

** param.maxqueuedsize and other ISC configuration is ignored.

[80]
** Transaction logging, so that we never lose any data.

[81]
** dbck should check that all creation_times of Texts are consecutive,
   and that all local add-times of texts in confereces are
   consecutive.

[82]
** 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?

** 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?)
        DONE.

** The Membership that is returned by 98=query-read-texts should
   include the position of the Membership.
        DONE. Did the same for get-membership.

** Write a Texinfo manual for lyskomd based on the man pages.  
        DONE. Whee!

** The redirect aux-info needs more documentation. See FIXME comment
   in Protocol-A.texi.
        DONE.


** Should we really retain deleted aux-items indefinitely? (3490203)
        DONE. No, and we don't any more.

** disconnect(0) should disconnect the current session. (806239)
        DONE. Session 0 is now always interpreted as the current
        session.

** Add the dbck reference to the lyskomd manual.
        DONE. There is now a dbck Texinfo manual

** An asynchronous message is sent to everybody when a secret
   conference changes its name. That is an unacceptable leak of
   sensitive information. (990788, 2804846)
        FIXED.

** Check that Async 13 is sent at the proper times (see 79208).
        FIXED.

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

** 89=create-person should probably not do an automatic login. (Wasn't
   this discussed in KOM? Yes it was, in 3267591, but there are no
   surviving comments. Did anybody object? /ceder)
        DONE.

** Check change-what-am-i-doing very carefully. According to 915974
   and 916257 there may be a bug in it, but that is pure speculation.
        DISMISSED. Tried sending long, short and invalid strings. No
        dice. Code inspection of functions turn up nothing.

** 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
   doc/server.extend (and several other files in the doc directory) to
   it. The "server hackers guide" should probably be an appendix of
   doc/lyskomd.texi.
        DONE.

** Test the interpretation of session 0 as the current session.
        DONE.

*** Integrate doc/Bugrapporter into this document.
        DONE.

*** Get rid of tmp-limits.h
    I'll do this --DCB
        DONE.

** Let the author of a text add other people's texts as footnotes.
   (from 1991)
	REJECT. (ceder & DCB 1999-03-28)

** There is no limit on how much can be queued in a write queue in
   isc. (from 1991, still an issue.)
	DONE -- found to be fixed when the code was inspected 1999-03-28

** get-n-unread as per 1111652.
	REJECT. (ceder & DCB 1999-03-28)

** There's a long-standing memory leak, probably in ISC. It appears
   to happen when we queue up lots of junk to clients that have died. 
   Trace what happens if we do isc_oflush and hit the E2BIG bit.

      I tried lots of crap. I think this will have to wait until we

      the code. --DCB

      Even with a leak detection tool no leak was found.  The server

** Read all texts in LysKOM (-) Systemet, protokollet mm created

	DONE.

** Read 45110, 45121, 45284 again and incorporate selected comments in 
   this document.

        45110: Membership stuff. Bellman's idea of sorting using
        anything but priority hasn't taken over the world since 1991. 
        I think we can declare it dead. Membership flags have been
        added. How a membership breaks the read order is a client
        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
        another todo item. We're doing external recipients with
        aux-items. Asynchronous message bit is done.  Server info is
        done. Don't do the mapcar function for this version. We are
        using latex to document the server. I declare this DONE.

        45121: Comments to the above text. Dealt with.

        45284: Also comments. Also dealt with.

	DONE (or REJECTED).

** isc_getnextevent should use a write-set in select.
   (from 1991)
	DONE (apparently)

** Fix case errors in type names etc in the documentation (3267160).
	DONE.

** New version of get-text-stat (et al) where the misc-info-list is
   removed. (1108039).
	REJECT: too much work to be worth it.

*** Document "%%Unsupported protocol" message
    DONE.

*** Document "%% No connections left" message
    DONE.

*** Fix doc/lyskomdb.texi (Version 1) (see FIXME comments).
    DONE.

*** Document that session number 0 can be used in call 55.
    DONE.

*** There is no way to set the Personal_flags. It's not even obvious
    where it gets its initial value! This is Not Good At All.
    DONE.

*** If we try to create a pers or conf and have reached the limit
    of how many confs we can create, lyskomd just dies. Nasty. It
    should return index-out-of-range, like create-text.
    DONE.

** When we pass a read-only misc item in create-text we get a protocol 
   error. We should get an illegal-misc. We can't just pass it through 
   since create_text_add_miscs will abort if it sees one of these misc 
   items.
        DONE.

** Parsing arrays that are longer than the maximum length is not
   handled very well. Right now we return a protocol error most of the 
   time, but perhaps it would be better to return a protocol error
   only when the array is insanely long, not just when it is longer
   than the max. So we could have a global max array length parameter.
        DONE.

** Make sure that there are no "expected failures" in the test suite.
        DONE.

** Try sending a too-long aux-item list
        DONE.

** Send a too-long misc-item list
        DONE.

** Sending a too-long delete or add list crashes the server.
        DONE.

** Call add-recipient with really bogus info type
        DONE.

*** Move dbck.texi, hacking.tex and lyskomdb.texi into lyskomd.texi.  
    Two reasons: there are too many manuals, and automake apparently
    doesn't allow more than one file to include version.texi.
        DONE.

** Check the FIXME in cached_conf_exists. I am certain that the
   necessary changes to cached_delete_conf are done, and almost sure
   that no other changes are required (checked where s.exists is set
   to zero for existing confs, and that is only in init_cache and
   cached_delete_conf. See ChangeLog entry for Sat Sep 13
   (simple-cache.c). -- DCB

   But: we found problems with this 1999-03-28, which DCB fixed in his
   copy of the code.  Committed yet?

   > Hmm, lter som en pik ;)
   
   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?)
