Details
This task will be used to attach bugs and feature requests
to that we will address before the 3.1 release
Please, for the sake of flyspray, set the "due in version" property on the attached bugs as well. EDIT (Dan): Please do not attach bugs/feature requests to here that have not been brought up on the pacman-dev ML first, or at least had some discussion in Flyspray. Feature creep is not something we need right now. |

FS #6933 - will be fixed once we release, so not a blocker.
FS #7182 - should be fixed now with latest push to master?
FS #7587 - I think this is fixed?
FS #7884 - we can push this off as it isn't really a bug, but more a peculiarity.
FS #7944 - hard to reproduce, so hard to fix. We have other bugs similar to this as well.
FS #8155 - I don't think our memory requirements have increased, but much bigger gains will come post-3.1 with dynamic package memory allocation. Punt to 3.2?
FS #8156 - this could use a look.
A few other issues:
* removal of ABS before we release? Split it into its own package so we can play with it separately since it is Arch-specific?
* removal of -A/-add before we release? We marked it as depreciated in 3.0.
* ensure documentation is up to date, including things like the changelog.
> but more a peculiarity.
Agreed.

I don't think it's a show-stopper, however. This could wait for a bugfix release of 3.1

Punt.

Might be worth its own package. Generally doesn't belong in the pacman source tree, however, as (since you mentioned) it is an Arch-specific tool. Maybe another project on arch-projects, with a package all its own? I'd get behind that.

Hm. I never use it anymore. Get rid of it, I say. -U does everything we need.
The remaining bugs:
> FS #7182 - should be fixed now with latest push to master?
Yes, it's fixed now.
> FS #7587 - I think this is fixed?
I don't know, but it's related to 7484 which is closed, and 7530 which could be closed.
So it can probably be closed.
> FS #8156 - this could use a look.
Yes, it could :)
FS#7587is fixed. If someone still experience the issue reported there - it's because of: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8389#comment20684FS#8940Dan's mentioned that he's not sure we wanna fix it. Thoughts?
