Contents


[edit] To-Do

[edit] WarLy

  • Bugzilla
    • make it faster
    • add a tag for final release in packages version
    • maybe add categories
    • add a script to have distant query to the bug database bypassing the web interface
  • Community
    • allow upload to unsupported/club

[edit] BuchanMilne

  • Provide easier migration path to openldap-2.1 (either set schemacheck off, or provide script to generate ldif usable by ldapmodify to fix common problems, or both)
  • Test samba3
  • Test samba3
  • Prepare to put samba3 in main (if samba team makes 3.0.0 final in time), and test it some more.
  • Try and get some authentication setup available after install
  • Try and get either Kolab or Opengroupware packaged, along with all the necessary configs to make it easy to setup. kolab rpm in progress ...

[edit] PerOyvindKarlsen

  • finish Norwegian BokmÃ¥l translation of Mandrake (97% complete)
  • look at Norwegian translations of OpenOffice.org, making it easy for Gwenole to merge it (also license issues? translation is GPL, while OO.o is LGPL)
  • rebuilding stuff;)
  • have Glide_V2 and Glide_V3 rebuilt (requires heavy patching)
  • have Glide_V3-DRI and Glide_V5 fixed (it rebuilds now, but something along the road broke it.. will hopefully be fixed when I get my machine with 3Dfx running:)
  • have latest binutils, gcc and glibc built for sparc (low priority, post 9.2?)

[edit] ThierryVignaud

  • code cleaning
  • drakxtools
    • unify warning and error windows to be modal and using stock dialog icons
    • more misc bug fixes

  • mcc

      • run gnome-terminale/konsole depending of the desktop
      • got terminal widget binding for replacing console
    • use set_transcient(Gtk2::Gdk::Window->foreign_new($::XID)) to have transcienness even for embedded tools
    • keyboard navigation (done but won't be released until we render it the same was as mdk9.1's mcc)
    • autoconvert standalone/* tools into modules, and autogenerate small wrapper upon them in order to reduce start time of tools from mcc by just requiring the needed module.
    • move app name from description to tip
    • renew clock.pl using GnomeDateEdit widget and get ideas from gnome-system-tools
    • use GnomeCanvas to get rid of truncation of big translations and still having the logo
    • move tool names from description to tips
  • share code between installkernel and drakboot
  • renew mdk-rpm howto (maybe in twiki)
    • devel provides
    • new macros

[edit] BuchanMilne

  • 20030825
    • net3 ads join (ie kerberized AD join) to win2k3 works with 3.0.0rc1
    • Add mount.cifs to 2.2.x, misc fixes
    • More fixes for samba3 built with --system
    • Tested samba3 as DC on LDAP backend (works, client login with profiles works, WindowsNT admin tools work to an extent, need to test more features)
  • 20030822
    • got local SID resolution against 2.2.x DC fixed (CVS)
    • samba-3.0.0rc1 in production (with said patch) on 9.1 as member server (only files)
  • 20030801
    • Printer uploads and simple printing to samba3
  • Kerberos authenticated smbclient3 works against win2k3 and win2k, kerberized domain joins (net3 ads join) work against win2k, but not win2k3
  • Fix samba breakage due to gcc (smbmount authenticated, smbpasswd domain join, possibly more) - fixed by dropping optimisations from O2 to O1
  • Test samba3 (basic authentication against smbpasswd works, authentication against samba2 schema LDAP server works)
