archivemail/TODO, branch mastermirror of unmaintained archivemail with some fixeshttps://git.devys.org/archivemail/atom?h=master2010-08-09T09:43:10ZManpage, TODO, CHANGELOG: document and record wildcard expansion in IMAP mailbox names2010-08-09T09:43:10ZNikolaus Schulzmicroschulz@web.de2010-08-09T09:40:40Zurn:sha1:8d01846e3f88975437d217dd691cc334c3d113ecTODO: drop more obsolete items2010-08-08T16:53:11ZNikolaus Schulzmicroschulz@web.de2010-08-08T16:53:11Zurn:sha1:910b507a2dd36abd18205af50aa75342a2db1b71
In particular:
* we no longer use shutil.copy{,2} to write back a changed mbox
* having temporary mbox files in the same directory as the originals doesn't
make sense anymore since we no longer commit them with rename(2)
* the --archive-name option is now implemented
Rename archivemail.py to archivemail2010-07-29T19:35:58ZNikolaus Schulzmicroschulz@web.de2010-07-29T19:35:58Zurn:sha1:a102b5baf93cfc7882fdf60406c5046b6f8d2ba9
On Unix, most scripts don't come with a file extension, it's not needed, and
we distribute the script as "archivemail" anyway. And most importantly, I
like it better without the extension. :)
With a little trick we can still load the script as a module from the test
suite.
Drop .py extension from the unittest script2010-07-29T19:02:12ZNikolaus Schulzmicroschulz@web.de2010-07-29T18:49:39Zurn:sha1:febd030e1461d4f412dfb98e58d6219eeb01ebd2Updated TODO, dropping a lot of obsolete items2010-07-29T17:49:42ZNikolaus Schulzmicroschulz@web.de2010-07-29T17:49:42Zurn:sha1:af3bb16a4c5106a1e2d40d752d0260114e69ab09
Notable items that are now resolved or implemented:
* archives are now locked
* the mbox classes have been refactored to a cleaner design
* we moved from flock locking to fcntl
* the setuid() feature is long gone
* symlink attacks for tempfiles are not possible (that is really an
ancient TODO item from the original author)
* the test suite now has a lot of maildir test cases

flock() locks aren't portable; lockf() locks are.

- no locking with archives
- no validation of existing archives
- discomfort with current mbox class design and usage
