Kern's ToDo List
- 10 June 2004
+ 22 July 2004
-1.34.4 Items to do:
-- Implement SIGHUP in Dir
-- Implement fast tree insert (doubly linked list?)
-- Implement "label slots=1,2... pool=yyy barcodes"
+1.35 Items to do:
+- Add bscan to four-concurrent-jobs regression.
- Do tape alerts -- see tapealert.txt
-- When restore started from console, report jobid.
-- Feedback while the tree is being built.
-- On Win95
- The error I when I installed 1.34.2 clients:
- The BACULA-FD file is
- linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:GetFileAttributesExA.
-
-Documentation from Christopher Hull on new client job requests:
-===
-The command can be anything that cmd.exe or command.com will recognize
-as a executable file. Specifiying the executable's extention is
-optional, unless there is an ambiguity. (i.e. ls.bat, ls.exe)
-
-The System %Path% will be searched for the command. (under the
-envrionment variable dialog you have have both System Environment and
-User Environment, we believe that only the System environment will be
-available to bacual-fd, if it is running as a service.)
-
-System environment varaible can be called out using the %var% syntax and
-used as either part of the command name or arguments.
-
-When specifiying a full path to an executable if the path or executable
-name contains whitespace or special characters they will need to be
-quoted. Arguments containing whitespace or special characters will also
-have to be quoted.
-
- ClientRunBeforeJob = "\"C:/Program Files/Software
-Vendor/Executable\" /arg1 /arg2 \"foo bar\""
-
-The special characters &()[]{}^=;!'+,`~ will need to be quoted if part
-of a filename or argument.
-
-If someone is logged in a blank "command" window running the commands
-will be present during the execution of the command.
-===
+- Document a get out of jail procedure if everything breaks if
+ you lost/broke the Catalog -- do the same for "I know my
+ file is there how do I get it back?".
+- When passwords do not match, print message that points the
+ user to the doc.
+- Make Verify jobs require exclusive use of Volume as Restore
+ jobs do.
+- Perhaps add read/write programs and/or plugins to FileSets.
+- Look at adding Client run command that will use the
+ port opened by the client.
+- Fix find_device in stored/dircmd.c:462
+- Add new DCR calling sequences everywhere in SD.
+ This will permit simultaneous use of multiple
+ devices by a single job.
+- bscan does not put first of two volumes back with all info in
+ bscan-test.
+- Fix restore ++++ that get intermingled with "Building directory tree"
+- Solve the termcap.h problem on Solaris configure.
+- Fix ./configure to handle installed SQLite
+- Test Win32 errno handling.
Documentation to do: (any release a little bit at a time)
- Document query file format.
- Test if rewind at end of tape waits for tape to rewind.
- Test cancel at EOM.
-For 1.33 Testing/Documentation:
-- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
- Add Dan's work to manual See ssl.txt
+For 1.37 Testing/Documentation:
- Add db check test to regression. Test each function like delete,
purge, ...
- If you use restore replace=never, the directory attributes for
non-existent directories will not be restored properly.
Wish list:
+- Figure out how to make named console messages go only to that
+ console and to the non-restricted console (new console class?).
+- Make restricted console prompt for password if *ask* is set or
+ perhaps if password is undefined.
+- Implement "from ISO-date/time every x hours/days/weeks/months" in
+ schedules.
+- Compaction of Disk space by "migrating" Volumes that have pruned
+ Jobs (what criteria? size, #jobs, time).
+- Add prune all command
+- Document fact that purge can destroy a part of a restore by purging
+ one volume while others remain valid -- perhaps mark Jobs.
- Add multiple-media-types.txt
- look at mxt-changer.html
-- Document a get out of jail procedure if everything breaks if you lost/broke
- the Catalog.
- Make ? do a help command (no return needed).
- Implement restore directory.
- Add All Local Partitions = yes to new style saves.
- Add tree pane to left of window.
- Add progress meter.
- Polling does not work for restore. It tries a number of times,
- gives up, and crashes the FD.
+ gives up, and crashes the SD.
- Lock jcr_chain when doing attach/detach in acquire.c
- Add assert in free_jcr if attach/detach chain active.
- Max wait time or max run time causes seg fault -- see runtime-bug.txt
<file-name>
...
- Add regression of btape "fill"
+==== Done in 1.34.4
+- Implement "label slots=1,2... pool=yyy barcodes"
+- Mark a non-removable disk Volume in error rather than asking sys op to
+ mount it.
+- Implement Fixed storage LabelFormat test.
+- Add reporting in attr despooling.
+- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
+ Add Dan's work to manual See ssl.txt
+
+==== Done in 1.35.0
+- Implement fast tree insert (doubly linked list)
+- Disallow using Internal database
+- Feedback while the restore tree is being built.
+- Add detection of Whitebox release in ./configure
+- Add InChanger to "list media"
+- Implement second cut of SIGHUP in Dir
+ (Implement resources on a single pointer)
+- Add regular expressions to FileSets (needs testing).
+- Test new despooling error recovery code when partition fills.
+- Sort Scheduled jobs status listing by start time.
+- Add priority to Scheduled jobs status listing.
+- Look at Win32 inc problem when new directory added files not saved???
+- Require resource names to be unique.
+- Make sure that all errors from libacl are printed.
+- Make FD run on Win95 if possible (not really possible).
+- Fix GROUP BYs in all SQL (done by Dan -- thanks)
+- Make entering multiple Storage names in Dir illegal.
+- Make btape release the drive during the "test" append.
+- Fix restore:
+ You have selected the following JobIds: 739,856,797
+ Building directory tree for JobId 739 ...
+ Building directory tree for JobId 856 ...
+ Building directory tree for JobId 797 ...3
+ Jobs inserted into the tree.
+- Fix errno handling in win32 compat routines.
+- Add better error codes to run_program (10000+)
+- Revisit and revise Disaster Recovery (fix SCSI and RAID
+ disk detection)
