TODO list for bsd-games and bsd-games-non-free

of these, or have done work on them, so we can avoid duplication of
effort. The order of entries is just the order they were added in, not any
priority order.

1997-04-29 - Improve security of games when running setgid. Most of
this has been done, through adopting changes from
OpenBSD, but a thorough audit is needed - see SECURITY.
There are rumours of the games having been audited by the
Linux Security Audit Project (see linux-kernel archives
and Alan Cox's diary at
<URL:http://roadrunner.swansea.uk.linux.org/alan.shtml>)
but I have received no patches.
The Linux Security Audit Project looked at the games but
never bothered to send me their fixes; I think they are
now included. Rogue and tetris could probably be adapted
to keep their score files open and so need no more
privileges than an open file descriptor. Sail could
better use a daemon than a file for interfacing between
multiple players; Paul Janzen might do this at some point.
1997-04-29 - Fix compilation warnings with increasingly strict warning
options. -Wwrite-strings (and general use of const) is
currently being worked on.
1997-04-29 - Get changes (at least the bug-fixes) merged back into NetBSD.
Various patches for specific bugs have been sent in and
applied: more still needs to be done, and some patches
are currently waiting in their bug tracking system.
options. The main reasonable ones have now been done,
but maybe some bits are left, and new warnings get added
to new versions of GCC. Fixes for -pedantic warnings are
in progress.
1997-05-01 - Games with scorefiles should lock them when updating them.
1997-07-15 - Get distribution permission for hack and larn. Get
licence of rogue clarified. (See NetBSD PR 5850.)
1997-07-15 - Get distribution permission for larn. Get licence of
rogue clarified. (See NetBSD PR 5850. Note that the
original author of larn, Noah Morgan, is dead.)
1998-07-28 - Support building in a directory other than the source directory.

1998-08-27 - Convert the games that use termcap to use curses.
Currently these are backgammon, rain, snake, tetris and
worms. Somewhat hacked versions of rain and worms that
use curses are distributed as test programs with ncurses;
these might just possibly be useful.
Currently these are backgammon, hack and tetris; rain,
snake and worms have been done. If it becomes possible
to distribute larn, this will apply to it as well.
1998-08-27 - If we build a game that links to another game's manpage,
but don't install the other game, then we get a dangling
symlink or .so for the manpage.
1998-08-27 - Merge in improvements from OpenBSD.
1998-08-27 - Fix warnings with -Wl,--warn-common (i.e., variables should be
declared extern in the header, and defined non-extern
exactly once).
1998-08-27 - Merge in improvements from OpenBSD. Perhaps FreeBSD also
has some; Paul Janzen is adding FreeBSD changes to
OpenBSD, so they may reach me that way.
1998-09-04 - dm should not access the utmp file directly.
1998-09-11 - Move building of the manpages and headers in which
configuration variables are substituted from the
configure script into the Makefiles.
1998-09-11 - Move building of more files in which configuration
variables are substituted from the configure script into
the Makefiles.
1998-12-06 - Allow alternative dictionaries to be specified at runtime
for boggle.
1998-12-11 - Support LFS (large files) - this requires using
fseeko/ftello instead of fseek/ftell, where supported,
and using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (actually getconf
LFS_CFLAGS, getconf LFS_LDFLAGS and getconf LFS_LIBS),
and could be useful with the kernel support for 32 bit
uids in Linux 2.4, when there could be sparse score files
(indexed by uid) over 2Gb.
1998-12-14 - Check for any more constant data that could be marked
const.
1998-12-28 - Fix any places that use the pid as random seed to use
something else, such as the time, because the pid is bad
when people boot up their system just to play a game and
so it is constant.
1999-07-29 - Provide support for giving each setgid game its own gid.
2000-09-09 - Fuzz testing (i.e., pass random input to games in an
attempt to crash them). Some bugs have been found and
fixed in battlestar through this already. It probably
works best with GCC bounded pointers.
2000-09-09 - Support for HURD-based GNU systems. This may now (2.13)
work.
2000-09-24 - Fix any and all date-related bugs (Y2038, Y10K, etc.) so
that the games will work on any date provided only that
time_t is big enough.
