Hey Emacs, this is -*- outline -*- mode!
|
|
|
|
* Before release:
|
|
** Some gpg tests fail with gpg 1.3.4-cvs (gpg/t-keylist-sig)
|
|
The test is currently disabled there and in gpg/t-import.
|
|
** When gpg supports it, write binary subpackets directly,
|
|
and parse SUBPACKET status lines.
|
|
* ABI's to break:
|
|
** gpgme_edit_cb_t: Add "processed" return argument
|
|
(see edit.c::command_handler).
|
|
** I/O and User Data could be made extensible. But this can be done
|
|
without breaking the ABI hopefully.
|
|
* All enums that should be enums need to have a maximum value to ensure
|
|
a certain minimum width for extensibility.
|
|
** Compatibility interfaces that can be removed in future versions:
|
|
*** gpgme_data_new_from_filepart
|
|
*** gpgme_data_new_from_file
|
|
*** gpgme_data_new_with_read_cb
|
|
*** gpgme_data_rewind
|
|
*** gpgme_op_import_ext
|
|
*** gpgme_get_sig_key
|
|
*** gpgme_get_sig_ulong_attr
|
|
*** gpgme_get_sig_string_attr
|
|
*** GPGME_SIG_STAT_*
|
|
*** gpgme_get_sig_status
|
|
*** gpgme_trust_item_release
|
|
*** gpgme_trust_item_get_string_attr
|
|
*** gpgme_trust_item_get_ulong_attr
|
|
*** gpgme_attr_t
|
|
*** All Gpgme* typedefs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Thread support:
|
|
** When GNU Pth supports sendmsg/recvmsg, wrap them properly.
|
|
** Without timegm (3) support our ISO time parser is not thread safe.
|
|
There is a configure time warning, though.
|
|
|
|
* New features:
|
|
** Extended notation support. When gpg supports arbitrary binary
|
|
notation data, provide a user interface for that.
|
|
** notification system
|
|
We need a simple notification system, probably a simple callback
|
|
with a string and some optional arguments. This is for example
|
|
required to notify an application of a changed smartcard, The
|
|
application can then do whatever is required. There are other
|
|
usages too. This notfication system should be independent of any
|
|
contextes of course.
|
|
** --learn-code support
|
|
This might be integrated with import. we still need to work out how
|
|
to learn a card when gpg and gpgsm have support for smartcards.
|
|
** Might need a stat() for data objects and use it for length param to gpg.
|
|
** Implement support for photo ids.
|
|
** Allow selection of subkeys
|
|
** Allow to return time stamps in ISO format
|
|
This allows us to handle years later than 2037 properly. With the
|
|
time_t interface they are all mapped to 2037-12-31
|
|
** New features requested by our dear users, but rejected or left for
|
|
later consideration:
|
|
*** Allow to export secret keys.
|
|
Rejected because this is conceptually flawed. Secret keys on a
|
|
smart card can not be exported, for example.
|
|
*** Selecting the key ring, setting the version or comment in output.
|
|
Rejected because the naive implementation is engine specific, the
|
|
configuration is part of the engine's configuration or readily
|
|
worked around in a different way
|
|
*** Selecting the symmetric cipher.
|
|
*** Exchanging keys with key servers.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation
|
|
** Document validity and trust issues.
|
|
** In gpgme.texi: Register callbacks under the right letter in the index.
|
|
|
|
* Engines
|
|
** Do not create/destroy engines, but create engine and then reset it.
|
|
Internally the reset operation still spawns a new engine process,
|
|
but this can be replaced with a reset later. Also, be very sure to
|
|
release everything properly at a reset and at an error. Think hard
|
|
about where to guarantee what (ie, what happens if start fails, are
|
|
the fds unregistered immediately - i think so?)
|
|
** Optimize the case where a data object has an underlying fd we can pass
|
|
directly to the engine. This will be automatic with socket I/O and
|
|
descriptor passing.
|
|
** Move code common to all engines up from gpg to engine.
|
|
** engine operations can return General Error on unknown protocol
|
|
(it's an internal error, as select_protocol checks already).
|
|
** When server mode is implemented properly, more care has to be taken to
|
|
release all resources on error (for example to free assuan_cmd).
|
|
|
|
* Operations
|
|
** If an operation failed, make sure that the result functions don't return
|
|
corrupt partial information. !!!
|
|
NOTE: The EOF status handler is not called in this case !!!
|
|
** Verify must not fail on NODATA premature if auto-key-retrieval failed.
|
|
It should not fail silently if it knows there is an error. !!!
|
|
** All operations: Better error reporting. !!
|
|
** Export status handler need much more work. !!!
|
|
** Import should return a useful error when one happened.
|
|
*** Import does not take notice of NODATA status report.
|
|
*** When GPGSM does issue IMPORT_OK status reports, make sure to check for
|
|
them in tests/gpgs m/t-import.c.
|
|
** Verify can include info about version/algo/class, but currently
|
|
this is only available for gpg, not gpgsm.
|
|
** Return ENC_TO output in verify result. Again, this is not available
|
|
for gpgsm.
|
|
** Genkey should return something more useful than General_Error.
|
|
** If possible, use --file-setsize to set the file size for proper progress
|
|
callback handling. Write data interface for file size.
|
|
** Optimize the file descriptor list, so the number of open fds is
|
|
always known easily.
|
|
** Encryption: It should be verified that the behaviour for partially untrusted
|
|
recipients is correct.
|
|
** When GPG issues INV_something for invalid signers, catch them.
|
|
|
|
* Error Values
|
|
** Map ASSUAN/GpgSM ERR error values in a better way than is done now. !!
|
|
** Some error values should identify the source more correctly (mostly error
|
|
values derived from status messages).
|
|
|
|
* Tests
|
|
** Write a fake gpg-agent so that we can supply known passphrases to
|
|
gpgsm and setup the configuration files to use the agent. Without
|
|
this we are testing a currently running gpg-agent which is not a
|
|
clever idea. !
|
|
** t-data
|
|
*** Test gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem.
|
|
*** Test gpgme_data_seek for invalid types.
|
|
** t-keylist
|
|
Write a test for ext_keylist.
|
|
** Test reading key signatures.
|
|
|
|
* Debug
|
|
** Handle malloc and vasprintf errors. But decide first if they should be
|
|
ignored (and logged with 255?!), or really be assertions. !
|
|
|
|
* Build suite
|
|
** Make sure everything is cleaned correctly (esp. test area).
|
|
** Enable AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR and bump up autoconf version requirement.
|
|
(To fix "./autogen.sh; ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode; touch
|
|
configure.ac; make"). Currently worked around with ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS???
|
|
|
|
* Error checking
|
|
** engine-gpgsm, with-validation
|
|
Add error checking some time after releasing a new gpgsm.
