- '*' means important things, '+' means cool things, '-' means things that might
- be done.
- FIXMEs are things that needs to be fixed (the code is here but needs fixing);
- TODOs are things that needs to be created (there is no code for them):
- There are some FIMXE/TODO in the code that are not listed here: it could be
- either a mess or a code-specific thing that is not important enough or too
- specific to be listed here.
-
- See result of `rgrep FIXME gsecuredelete` and `rgrep TODO gsecuredelete` too.
-
-
- FIXMEs:
- + Better design for the arguments, allowing subclasses not to need to add
- parent's supported arguments themselves.
-
- + Get the pass number reported by the program rather than guessing it.
- (gsecuredelete/securedelete-operation.vala:88).
- Not sure it is useful or really cleanly doable.
-
- ? (SwapOperation) is /proc/swaps a good method to know if a swap device is in
- use?
- Neither sure it is wrong to read /proc/swaps nor the swap wiping is supported
- in practice on non-Linux OS.
-
-
- TODOs:
- * Test MemOperation (gsecuredelete/mem-operation.vala:23).
- This needs a courageous user! (Having a small amount of memory is probably
- better as this operation may be slow (as the manual of smem says)).
-
- + Add a "message" argument to the progress callback with the (possibly empty)
- progress message?
-
- + Be able to work as another user? (gsecuredelete/async-operation.vala:40)
- find informations about this issue and what can/could/should be done to
- fix it.
- Perhaps it is not the library that should provide the functionality but
- the caller program that may grant its rights or so, don't know.
-
- - Support for canonical names/paths. (gsecuredelete/delete-operation.vala:66)
- This affects all operations using paths, but in first place DeleteOperation
- that supports adding/removing of deletion targets.
