Background ========== - Priority scale: High, Medium and Low - Complexity scale: C1, C2, C4 and C8. The complexity scale is exponential, with complexity 1 being the lowest complexity. Complexity is a function of both task 'complexity' and task 'scope'. Core ==== - Personal firewall Priority: Low Complexity: C8 Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling. - PACRunner extensions Priority: Low Complexity: C4 Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter security integration. - Check logging produced by connman_info() Priority: Medium Complexity: C1 Check that logging produced by connman_info() contains meaningful messages and get rid of the unnecessary ones. - Remove --nobacktrace option Priority: Medium Complexity: C1 When: 2.0 Remove the --nobacktrace option or change it to --backtrace depending on the level of systemd integration or other factors. - Clean up data structure usage Priority: Medium Complexity: C4 Use hash tables, queues and lists in the code. Check on the currently used data structures and see if something can be simplified. - Unit tests for DHCP, DNS and HTTP Priority: Low Complexity: C4 Create unit tests for these components starting with DHCP. Use gtest from GLib for this task similarly to what has been done for OBEX in Bluez and oFono in general. - Support other time sources than NTP Priority: Low Complexity: C2 Support other time sources like cellular, GPS in addition to NTP. - Get interface names from src/device.c Priority: Low Complexity: C2 Instead of using ioctls in connman_inet_ifindex and connman_inet_ifname, utilize the information already provided by netlink in src/device.c. - Simplify gateway selection code Priority: Low Complexity: C4 The service list is always sorted according to preference with the first service always owning the default route. See if update_order and find_default_gateway in src/connection.c can be modified to use the sorted service list instead of walking through the gateway_hash. - Support D-Bus ObjectManager Priority: Medium Complexity: C4 Support D-Bus ObjectManager by using functionality already present in ./gdbus. Method calls and signals are already registered with gdbus, but properties and replies especially in Agent are still handled with plain dbus library function calls. With this, Manager API is removed, and a WiFi P2P API based on ObjectManager common to Linux desktops can be implemented. WiFi ==== - Clean up WiFi data structure usage Priority: Medium Complexity: C2 Struct wifi_data is passed as a pointer in some of the wifi plugin callbacks. For example removing a WiFi USB stick causes RTNL and wpa_supplicant to call the wifi plugin at the same time causing the freeing of the wifi data structure. Fix up the code to have proper reference counting or other handling in place for the shared wifi data and the members in the data structure. - EAP-AKA/SIM Priority: Medium Complexity: C2 This EAP is needed for SIM card based network authentication. ConnMan here plays a minor role: Once wpa_supplicant is set up for starting and EAP-AKA/SIM authentication, it will talk to a SIM card through its pcsc-lite API. - EAP-FAST Priority: Low Complexity: C1 - Removing wpa_supplicant 0.7.x legacy support Priority: Low Complexity: C1 Removing global country property setter in gsupplicant, and removing wifi's technology set_regdom implementation. Removing autoscan fallback. (Note: should be done around the end 2012) Bluetooth ========= - Remove Bluez 4.x support Priority: Low Complexity: C1 Remove plugins/bluetooth-legacy.c support in about 6 month (July 2013) or when Bluez 4.x usage becomes minimal. Cellular ======== VPN === - IPsec Priority: Medium Complexity: C4 - L2TP & PPTP compatibility prefix removal Priority: Medium Complexity: C1 When: connman 2.0 The VPN config file provisioning patchset contains code that makes PPP options to be marked by "PPPD." prefix. The code supports also old "L2TP." and "PPTP." prefix for PPP options. Remove the compatibility code and only allow "PPPD." prefix for PPP options. - Update VPNC and OpenVPN with Agent support Priority: Medium Complexity: C2 Update VPNC and OpenVPN with VPN Agent support to request possible user ids and passphrases. Tools ===== - Add Clock API and MoveBefore/MoveAfter support to connmanctl Priority: Low Complexity: C2 The connmanctl command line tool should support Clock API and Service API MoveBefore/MoveAfter. User Interface ============== - GNOME3 UI Priority: Low Complexity: C4 A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros users to use ConnMan.
