ToDos for pba
=============


Adapting to Debian Bullseye
---------------------------

- reenable pba-rpmbuilder -C


Known Bugs:
-----------

Ongoing:

- NN


Ideas:
------


- Avoid pbb-builder's tarball patching

Approach 1:
dpkg-buildpackage's option --hook-init=foobar might allow to do all patching we need.

Approach 2:
Switch from pbuilder to pba-rpmbuild's chroot 


- enhance pba-headers of binary packages:

Approach 1:
Use dpkg-buildpackage's option --hook-source=foobar to change debian/control from
  Pba-Distributions: wheezy jessie
to
  Pba-Distribution: $buildDistribution

Approach 2:
Separate at pba-release time, i.e. make different source packages,
allow to feed to different buildhosts.


Suspended ideas:
----------------

- evtl. teach pba-archiver/pba-nsisarchiver to treat windows installers
  (i.e. copy to directory, delete former versions)

- evtl. teach pba-release/pba-nsisrelease to build installers and feed them to exe-aware repositories


Refused ideas:
--------------

X support multiple target generations, categories?
  should not be necessary
 
X pba-archiver could support source packages, 
  however it ain't make much sense to multiply those.
