- fix the broken pipe bug - add some logging mechanism (/var/log/pacman.log) - handle version comparators in makepkg dep resolution (eg, glibc>=2.2.5) - have "group" designations - record md5sums of all files in a package - add a way to clean /var/cache/pacman/src - duplicate dep checks occur with sync (one in sync, one in add) - if a package is removed with --nodeps and re-installed, the requiredby fields of it's required packages are not updated - add an option equivalent to 'pacman -Ql pkg | grep filename' - add other options to config file: db location, overwrite behaviour, etc. - use the COLUMNS env var for the progress bar ? use 'set -e' in makepkg? x if a package fails, ask before aborting the full operation - can't -- further dependent packages may fail b/c of the first failure ? ask, then remove conflicting packages with --sync ? use a provides tag (instead of an OR operator in depends) - add a 'cascade' option to --remove that will remove a package and all requiredby packages under it - check $PACCONF env var ? use a 'trust pacman' config option for downgrading? ? build-time (source) dependencies in makepkg ? run ldd on every executable in a newly built package to find required so's - add a --pretend option - add a consistency/sanity check operation (md5 tracking for all files) - add a --dbpath option - use package caches more for performance - clean up output a bit (message queue?) - use a files.cache db for --owns and db_find_conflicts
