- Better Makefiles exploitation by expanding embedded variables when possible locally
- Using Make to do the job when there are embedded variables
- Checking distfiles availability
- Improving versions comparison for versions with letters -> pnu-vuxml change needed
- More exclusions loaded from the config file
- Printing the number of notifications and a congratulation message if everything is OK
- Checking the existence of domains in maintainer's email addresses
- Checking the depends fields (extract/patch/fetch/build/run):
- Between the Index and the Makefiles
- Against the existence of the dependencies
- Other Makefiles related checks
- Adding an option to notify port maintainers by email => will be better done by a wrapping script using the per-maintainer output
- Providing a mechanism to keep track of external events => will be better done by a wrapping script using the per-maintainer output
- For example, the INDEX:www-site being unavailable since date X
- Side functionalities => not the direct purpose of this tool
- Checking reported vulnerabilities in dependencies
- Checking unavailable ports in dependencies
- Checking ports that could be flavourized => no ideas for implementation (yet!)
