• Upgrade to pty-supporting Director?
• Fix problems with Director listening port (close-on-exec not happening, or some other process is inheriting the open listening socket.)
• Find out what is causing dhclient or dhcpd to get confused about lease renewal. The problem is probably on the client side because it is re-requesting an address it already has, causing the server to abandon the IP address and give it a new one.

C..9 Ways to put more on the CD

• Always double check that only necessary kernels and modules got picked up.
• Check that executables in /bin,/sbin,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin are stripped.
• Put a smaller movie in /Samples.
• Omit qt.a static libraries.
• Omit /usr/teTeX/share/texmf/doc (20 MB compressed).
• Move apache2 to /opt/apache2/

C..10 Medium priority

• Remove setuidinst from tvr? from /cfht/bin/setuidinst?
• Local Samba stuff causes firewall messages all the time.

• There are still a bunch of files only readable to root in the sidious rsync tree. These fail to upgrade when needed, but hide out silently in the mean time. See /Documentation/rsync-unreadable.txt.

• Get working version of gphoto2/libusb for Olympus camera.
• Make supermount fs=auto work with XFS on /mnt/usb/
• Fix gphoto2 -list-files for Canon.
• Fix gpcom for olympus.

• Reboot sidious boots into Windows sometimes (lilo -R buggy?).

C..11 Low priority

• Do not kill sshd if reconfig is being run over an ssh connection, or make sure that rc.inet completes somehow, even if connection goes down! Found out why it happens: manually starting another sshd (e.g. on an extra port) overwrites sshd.pid and changes the way sshd gets re-started.
• X -configure fails for ``nvidia'' driver (all cards? some?) but is OK on ``nv''.
• Switch rsync to use ssh by default. Apply malloc patch?
• NFSROOT from initrd-boot (pcmcia for example) does not remember it is an nfs-root client when it runs rc.inet, causing the network to dump! (Because rc.reconfig only checks ip= on the kernel command line.)
• Figure out why xmcd/cda still need to be setuid-root even when /dev/sr0 is read-write for the user.
• newaliases tries to send mail in the queue?
• Add warning if .fvwm-options is not executable, or run w/ sh?
• Fix HOSTNAME vs $(hostname -s) vs $(hostname) stuff. /etc/initscript doesn't get HOSTNAME right if !init=/etc/initrc
• Recompile less (and scp?) with large file support
• -sws kernel should not appear on the xdm screen.
• Find out what made base system go from 850-1050 MB (9.32 to 9.36?).
• Test if X-Render still needs to be patched in X440. (8-bits actually seems rather unstable now, in general.)
• Deal with usr/local/private/secrets.tdb better.
• /etc/profile eats first key strokes.
• Sleep required before chvt in /etc/apmd_proxy? Why?
• Add vmrpm and rpm options (including /conf/ directory!)
• ACPI: Add driver to allow monitor switching on Vaio SRX99K
• Add APL account.
• Configure mime types for mutt (pdf, gif, jpeg, jpg, etc.)
• Acroread is not configured as a plugin.
• Make icon appear on desktop when PC Card is inserted (eject when clicked or something)
• Otto keyboard locks up when gpm starts if mouse port is ``Disabled'' in BIOS.
• /proc/bus/usb/ mount should fail silently on otto.
• Backspace doesn't work in zile by default (fixed?)
• XHOMER. Copy to /usr/local/src. Submit OCR patch.
• Install local proxy option for Web browsing.
• Get PXE booting to work in dhcp server.
• Unreachable NFS mounts can hang rsync indefinitely.
• More stuff to remove with --tiny: 2.2.19 LessTif perl ghostscript
• Runlevel changes kill processes started before the real "init" Don't use commands like "telinit 5". "telinit [abc]" is ok.
• Search for all %%% and fix them

C..12 Sidious 8 (I-Opener/GCT stuff)

• Find out what got damaged with passwords under Sidious 8.
• Sidious8: need to install ``mail'', mutt,....
• Development tree has hostname ohia somehow.
• NOTE: 2.4.19 kernel forces ramfs back in to the kernel (same as the new ``rootfs''). This bloats the kernel by a few KB. It would be possible to build a smaller iopener kernel by removing tmpfs again (but that's not good for laptops.)
• Sidious installer that runs as a Windows binary? (look at rawrite source)
• Upgrade sidious8.x to ncurses 5.2 and remove /usr/include/ncurses?
• Automatically expand size of /etc partition?
• What's the iconv, gconv junk in /usr/lib for? Look into sglibc.
• loadkeys for Sidious8 is huge. Figure out busybox loadkmap instead?

C..13 Problems with the Web Configure Interface

• Make it so that kernel and sidious vars are auto-included in index.rpm

(The web-configure part of Sidious is not used anywhere.)
