todo.txt -- todo list for rimage archiving system
Revised 2006.04.24 -- for previous list, see todo.txt.b4.20060426

1. Improve .lst files.

2. Provide logging

3. Allow production to start as soon as the first ISO is uploaded.
   This could be done by having driver.py spawn a java client that
   will listen through a pipe to driver.py, and send production 
   orders when it receives them.
     This was done begining with V2.0.0. It is a mixed blessing -- because of
   the inefficient way thee Rimage downloads stuff, it is not all that much
   faster. The GUI progress display is quite crude.

4. User-supplied and label data should be based on a file, 
   rather than hardwired. The file should contain fieldname,
   description, position of fieldname on label, position of
   user data on label, max length of user data.

5. Interactive GUI for breaking up directories into ISOs, with
   provision for user to modify decision.
     2003.03.13 -- Created separeate subroutine makePathLists.py
   which is called by driver.py, and generates the lists. So far
   it uses the same algorithm. It shouldn't be hard to modify it
   so that it uses 3 algorithms:
     1. Pack files in order as densely as possible
     2. Pack whole directories in order as densely as possible
     3. Pack whole directories, keeping subdirectories together where
        possible, or creating multiple discs at a directory level, but not
	packing directories accross branches. This wil be the least dense.
   Present user with totals and let user choose.

6. Develop a separate "general data" template for labels. Only
   crystallographic data should use the logging feature.
   
7. Modify driver.py to accept flags:
      -clean0  leave all files in /srv/temp/$user
      -clean1  delete ISO files after uploading
      -clean2  delete all except .xml and .lst files
      -clean3  keep only the .lst files
    Default should be -clean0 during testing; -clean3 when
      we reach full production

8. Make output from mkisofs overwrite itself

9. Use /srv/frames/temp/$USER/DVDbackup/$root instead of 
    /srv/temp/$USER for tempfiles
        
10. Figure out how to get font specifications to work for label 
    annotations. Add provision for bold/italic.
