1 Hey Emacs, this is -*- outline -*- mode!
4 ** Some gpg tests fail with gpg 1.3.4-cvs (gpg/t-keylist-sig)
5 The test is currently disabled there and in gpg/t-import.
6 ** Add notation data to key signatures.
9 ** I/O and User Data could be made extensible. But this can be done
10 without breaking the ABI hopefully.
11 * All enums that should be enums need to have a maximum value to ensure
12 a certain minimum width for extensibility.
13 ** Compatibility interfaces that can be removed in future versions:
14 *** ath compatibility modules.
15 *** gpgme_data_new_from_filepart
16 *** gpgme_data_new_from_file
17 *** gpgme_data_new_with_read_cb
19 *** gpgme_op_import_ext
21 *** gpgme_get_sig_ulong_attr
22 *** gpgme_get_sig_string_attr
24 *** gpgme_get_sig_status
25 *** gpgme_trust_item_release
26 *** gpgme_trust_item_get_string_attr
27 *** gpgme_trust_item_get_ulong_attr
29 *** All Gpgme* typedefs.
33 ** When GNU Pth supports sendmsg/recvmsg, wrap them properly.
34 ** Without timegm (3) support our ISO time parser is not thread safe.
35 There is a configure time warning, though.
38 ** notification system
39 We need a simple notification system, probably a simple callback
40 with a string and some optional arguments. This is for example
41 required to notify an application of a changed smartcard, The
42 application can then do whatever is required. There are other
43 usages too. This notfication system should be independent of any
45 ** --learn-code support
46 This might be integrated with import. we still need to work out how
47 to learn a card when gpg and gpgsm have support for smartcards.
48 ** Might need a stat() for data objects and use it for length param to gpg.
49 ** Allow to export secret keys.
50 ** Implement support for photo ids.
51 ** New features requested by our dear users, but rejected or left for
53 *** Selecting the key ring, setting the version or comment in output.
54 Rejected because the naive implementation is engine specific, the
55 configuration is part of the engine's configuration or readily
56 worked around in a different way
57 *** Selecting the symmetric cipher.
58 *** Exchanging keys with key servers.
59 ** Allow selection of subkeys
60 ** Allow to return time stamps in ISO format
61 This allows us to handle years later than 2037 properly. With the
62 time_t interface they are all mapped to 2037-12-31
65 ** Document validity and trust issues.
68 ** Do not create/destroy engines, but create engine and then reset it.
69 Internally the reset operation still spawns a new engine process,
70 but this can be replaced with a reset later. Also, be very sure to
71 release everything properly at a reset and at an error. Think hard
72 about where to guarantee what (ie, what happens if start fails, are
73 the fds unregistered immediately - i think so?)
74 ** Optimize the case where a data object has an underlying fd we can pass
75 directly to the engine. This will be automatic with socket I/O and
77 ** Move code common to all engines up from gpg to engine.
78 ** engine operations can return General Error on unknown protocol
79 (it's an internal error, as select_protocol checks already).
80 ** When server mode is implemented properly, more care has to be taken to
81 release all resources on error (for example to free assuan_cmd).
84 ** If an operation failed, make sure that the result functions don't return
85 corrupt partial information. !!!
86 NOTE: The EOF status handler is not called in this case !!!
87 ** Verify must not fail on NODATA premature if auto-key-retrieval failed.
88 It should not fail silently if it knows there is an error. !!!
89 ** All operations: Better error reporting. !!
90 ** Export status handler need much more work. !!!
91 ** Import should return a useful error when one happened.
92 *** Import does not take notice of NODATA status report.
93 *** When GPGSM does issue IMPORT_OK status reports, make sure to check for
94 them in tests/gpgs m/t-import.c.
95 ** Verify can include info about version/algo/class, but currently
96 this is only available for gpg, not gpgsm.
97 ** Return ENC_TO output in verify result. Again, this is not available
99 ** Genkey should return something more useful than General_Error.

110 Currently not, but it is easy to add this to GPGME 0.4.1. At least the key
111 ID and a user ID hint is available from gpg (of course key IDs are not
112 necessarily unique!). I will put it on the TODO list.
113 ** If possible, use --file-setsize to set the file size for proper progress
114 callback handling. Write data interface for file size.
115 ** Optimize the file descriptor list, so the number of open fds is

118 recipients is correct.
119 ** When GPG issues INV_something for invalid signers, catch them.
122 ** Map ASSUAN/GpgSM ERR error values in a better way than is done now. !!
123 ** Some error values should identify the source more correctly (mostly error
124 values derived from status messages).
127 ** Write a fake gpg-agent so that we can supply known passphrases to
128 gpgsm and setup the configuration files to use the agent. Without
129 this we are testing a currently running gpg-agent which is not a
132 *** Test gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem.
133 *** Test gpgme_data_seek for invalid types.
135 Write a test for ext_keylist.
139 ** Handle malloc and vasprintf errors. But decide first if they should be
140 ignored (and logged with 255?!), or really be assertions. !
143 ** Make sure everything is cleaned correctly (esp. test area).
144 ** Enable AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR and bump up autoconf version requirement.
145 (To fix "./autogen.sh; ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode; touch
146 configure.ac; make"). Currently worked around with ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS???
149 ** engine-gpgsm, with-validation
150 Add error checking some time after releasing a new gpgsm.
