Intro:

Welcome to the todo list. You are invited to help me. Select something
you wanna fix/introduce and I will tell you how you can add it.
items marked with a 'D' are done.

Tasks:

2002-12-24 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * -D must be checked before calling anything else.
      Currently, -m mousedev -D -t ps2 calls add_mouse first without debug

2002-11-21 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * remove -M, allow multiply -m,-t; -> allow n mice and cleaner code
    --> means use of add_mouse(), init_mice()
   * remove old opt_* 
D  * cleanup gpn.c/cmdline to its real purpose
   * make protocol / port autodection: gpm -u [later...]
      => ONLY FOR DEVFS!

2002-11-09 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
D  * cleanup gpm further: main.c
   * do init,protocol,disable functions forced
D  * introducte global option structure

2002-03-10 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * make buffer accessable from X and vice versa

2002-03-02 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
D  * remove large messages: (just cd $srcdir...)
      /home/user/nico/computer/sources/linux/gpm/gpm-1.20.1/src/mice.c ->
      src/mice.c or mice.c

      It's a problem with gcc's command line:
         gcc -o file filename.c -> filename.c
         gcc -o file /path/to/filename.c -> /path/to/filename.c
   
2002-02-20 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * add contrib/other/TPdetect.cc [Allan Sandfeld Jensen
   <snowwolf@one2one-networks.com>] to the gpm source.

2002-02-08 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * fix problems with the following clients:
      - gpm-root complains about /dev/vcs0 in devfs
      - disable-past: segmenatation fault
      - mev: segmenatation fault
      - hltest: stdin: not a system console [ devfs problem ? ]
      - mouse-test does not work (does not do anything after key pressed)
D  * add better ps2 initialization: after mouse is screwed up with synps2
     data, the init of ps2 should be able to get the mouse work again...
     [ btw, currenty I_empty is used :( ]
D  * update documentation and MANIFEST

2002-02-04 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * use gpm_report in all gpm sources. Check for run_status.
     [ report_lib does not need run_status! ]
   * export synaptic.c messages to message.h
   * cleanup debugging support in synaptics.c
   * remove all strings in c files and place them into message.h

2002-01-07 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
   * cleanup gpm-root (it will not run currently with devfs)
D  * add pseudo root support
D  * add protocol reset (after synps2 i.e.)
   * add serial console support into gpm_report
   * add howtos:
      - add a protocol (?)
      - add a messsage (message.h)
   * remove hardwired names in sample clients.
D  * cleanup Gpm_Open (problem with devfs still exists)
   * remove dirty gotos

2001-09-29 Frédéric L. W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>
   * Add GNU screen support to libgpm.

2001-09-23 Nico Schottelius <nico@schottelius.org>
D  * put dependings from sources to src/.depend
D  * set version _everywhere_ via configure (doc.gpm and others)
D  * really remove oops() output, add clearer text to the user(also use stderr)
D  * remove more hardwired things in gpm ! [partly solved. gpm-root is missing]
D  * oops rewrite or use another function for rep_err()
     --> calls oops() of we need to exit. Give oops() a va_* type, Filename,line
     --> normally report(STATUS, text, ... ) --> 
     --> STATUS = (char * filename(__FILE__), int line(__LINE__), int status) 
     --> status: WARN, CRIT(or ABRT)

D * 27th of July 2k+1:
   - report(char *filename, int line, int status, char *text, ... )
     Destinations:
      * stderr -> startup
      * current console (/dev/tty, /dev/vc/0) -> debug, daemon
      * console (/dev/console) ->  running, daemon
      * syslogd                ->  running, daemon
     Status:
      * LOG_INFO
      * LOG_WARN
      * LOG_ERR
      * LOG_DEBUG
     

D * 7th of July 2k+1: [partly done. many patches left]
   - analysing patches
   - applying patches
   - detail stuff:
    - message function:
      destination depend on current state
      change debuglevel by using SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2
