Add /etc/profile.d functionality

2002-04-19T02:07:28Z

packages should be able to drop a $pkgname.sh script
into /etc/profile.d which can be enabled/disabled from
rc.conf

Include a canned kernel package

2002-03-27T04:00:09Z

Well, turns out not everybody likes to build kernels
everyday like I do. Go figure. :)

So we need a kernel package. Most things should be
modular, except for all the boot-critical stuff, like
reiserfs and devfs.

Make sure /usr/src/linux/include is included in the
package.

Include an /etc/arch-release file

2002-03-27T03:56:39Z

To easily find what version of Arch you're running
(though if you use pacsync regularly, you're always
running devel).

Maintenance cron scripts

2002-03-27T03:54:23Z

Some maintenance cron scripts would be handy, but not a
high priority. Things like searching the filesystem
for .pacnew and .pacsave files every once in a while
and notifying root. Or building a report of all files
with SUID bit set.

FAQ needed

2002-03-27T03:52:31Z

Start a FAQ that can be posted on the web site.

Third-party Package Guidelines

2002-03-27T03:49:34Z

Draw up some package guidelines for people who want to
contribute packages to Arch Linux.

FTP Install

2002-03-27T03:46:36Z

We need to build a decent root/boot image that can be
used for an ftp-based install.

Multiple install sources should be taken into account
when building the interactive installer.

ABS Update Utility

2002-03-27T03:45:27Z

Not terribly important, but it would be nice to have a
script that updated a user's ABS tree. Quite simple,
it basically just needs to do an rsync call.

Interactive Installer

2002-03-27T03:43:44Z

Need an interactive install program to assist the user
in selecting packages and whatnot. It can be coded in
bash if we use dialog.
