view TODO @ 45:32ba1198c6fa noffle
[svn] * Makefile.in, configure, configure.in, docs/Makefile.in, src/Makefile.in:
Added checks for the mail and sort programs. ./configure will abort if
they're not found.
* README: Removed the paragraph about news client software, as it's the same
as the one in docs/NOTES.
* TODO: Removed 'expiring by groups' and
'move some text from noffle.1 to noffle.conf.5'.
* docs/NOTES: Changed the text about -DDEBUG to explain one should use
'./configure --enable-debug'.
* docs/noffle.1, docs/noffle.conf.5: Minor fixes. Added myself and Jim Hague
to the AUTHORS section :-)
* src/client.h, src/common.h, src/configfile.h, src/content.c, src/content.h,
src/control.c, src/control.h, src/database.h, src/dynamicstring.c,
src/dynamicstring.h, src/fetch.h, src/fetchlist.h, src/group.h,
src/itemlist.c, src/itemlist.h, src/lock.h, src/log.c, src/log.h,
src/noffle.c, src/online.h, src/outgoing.h, src/over.c, src/over.h,
src/post.h, src/protocol.h, src/pseudo.h, src/request.h, src/server.h,
src/util.c, src/util.h: Added the <config.h> include.
* src/content.c: Added missing include "content.h". Added a missing 'void'
in the declaration of clearCont().
* src/fetchlist.c: Casted fetchlist.size to (size_t) in a call to qsort(),
as qsort() expects a size_t. This removes a warning.
* src/noffle.c: Made doRequested() static. Added missing void to
enableCorefiles().
* src/log.c, src/protocol.c, src/online.c, src/pseudo.c: Added missing
includes.
* src/pseudo.c: Made genOv() and genPseudo() static.
* src/server.c: Added missing void to postArts(). Made touchArticle() static.
* src/util.c: Casted arguments of malloc() and memcpy() to size_t.
* src/dynamicstring.c, src/itemlist.c, src/over.c, src/request.c, src/util.c:
Removed casting of the result of malloc(). This is not necessary and
can hide a missing include of <stdlib.h>.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOFFLE Todolist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Urgent ------ * Has Client_connect resource leaks if it fails? Later ----- * Add "hostname" config option for setting the FQHN in generated message IDs. * Read timeout when running as server and automatically close if client does not send data for a longer time. * Implement simple filter using popen or fifos. * Make compatible to latest NNTP draft. * Improve speed of online mode: Keep connection to server open for a while * Check all in http://mars.superlink.net/user/tal/writings/news-software-authors.html (Use NOV library? Use inews for validating posted articles? ... ) * Store requested articles by group + number. This would allow to create pseudo-groups (like <groupname>.requested) that contained only fully downloaded articles in overview mode (very nice and clever idea sent in by a user, it would make using overview mode much easier). Second advantage: Noffle would work with servers that have retrieving articles by message-id disabled. * Expire should clean up empty request/outgoing directories, so they will not exists forever after a server change. * Do not log program abortion due to SIGINT, if no inconsistency can occur, (e.g. when calling 'noffle -d' to a pipe and next program terminates or pressing ^C). * Improve www page and documentation. * Keeping the content list for several lock/unlock times could lead to inconsistent results, because content list is maybe modified by pseudo articles. Check this! * Optimize NEWGROUPS (extra list?) * Add noffle query option for checking all groups, if they are still available at the remote server(s) and delete them otherwise. * In online mode, retrieve full article header from remote server if client sends a HEAD command. Presently, only the header lines from the overview are returned and the article is only retrieved on an ARTICLE or BODY command. The reason for this was that some readers (like pine) retrieve the group overview by sending lots of HEAD commands and their performance would badly suffer. On the other hand, some readers (like slrn) cache the header from a HEAD command, even if a following ARTICLE command gets more header lines, so that not all header lines are available when reading news in online mode, before the next start of the reader. But some header lines (e.g. Reply-To) are important. Maybe make the behaviour configurable. Some day far away ----------------- * Understand supersedes header (useful for reading news.answers group) * Get and execute cancel messages (read control.cancel, but use xpat to get only cancels for groups in fetchlist). Seems to be expensive (20000 headers a day, takes the remote server to search through)
