-- connman_element removal
+- Personal firewall
Priority: Low
Complexity: C8
+ Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>
+
+ Discuss and implement a basic and safe firewalling strategy into
+ Connman. Provide a D-Bus API for personal firewalling.
-- DHCP lib server
+- PACRunner extensions
- Priority: High
+ Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
- Owner: Martin Xu <martin.xu@intel.com>
+ Support more URI schemes, support multiple connections, tighter
+ security integration.
-- On demand connection
+
+- Check logging produced by connman_info()
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+ Complexity: C1
+
+ Check that logging produced by connman_info() contains meaningful messages
+ and get rid of the unnecessary ones.
- With on demand connection applications get connectivity access
- simply by trying to reach the network. They don't need to
- specifically request for a service connection, but ConnMan
- establishes it on their behalf.
- This feature counter part is idle disconnect. ConnMan needs to be
- able to close the on demand established connections by monitoring
- the link activity. This requires kernel support with e.g. the
- netfilter IDLETIMER target.
-- Avahi-zeroconf
+- 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
- The IPv4 Link Local part should be integrated into DHCP-lib.
+ Use hash tables, queues and lists in the code. Check on the currently used
+ data structures and see if something can be simplified.
-- OpenVPN
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
+- Unit tests for DHCP, DNS and HTTP
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C4
-- VPNc
+ 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.
- Priority: Low
- Complexity: C2
+- Support other time sources than NTP
-- iptables wrapper
+ Priority: Medium
+ Complexity: C2
- Priority: High
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+ Support other time sources like cellular, GPS in addition to NTP.
- ConnMan needs to be able to set iptables rules and tables for both
- tethering and on demand connection.
- The main idea is to define an internal API for talking to the
- netfilter socket in order to set our tables and rules. Being in
- sync with the actual iptables library might be problematic.
- A less elegant solution would be a process based one, that would
- simply call the iptables executable.
-- Tethering
+WiFi

+- Clean up WiFi data structure usage
Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C8
- Owner: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
- Dependencies: Core:iptables wrapper
- Dependencies: Core:DHCP lib server
+ Complexity: C2
- Bluetooth, USB and WiFi tethering.
- The tethering framework would typically allow sharing the 3G data
- link between WiFi, Bluetooth or USB clients.
- A bridge needs to be setup and all tethering connections are added
- to it. A DHCP server and a DNS proxy will be running on the bridge.
- Then IP forwarding and masquerading will be set between the default
- service and the bridge interface.
+ 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.
-- Agent callbacks
+- EAP-AKA/SIM
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C2
+ Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
+ 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.
-- pacrunner
- Priority: High
- Complexity: C4
- Owner: Mohamed Abbas <mohamed.abbas@intel.com>
+- EAP-FAST
- pacrunner is a standalone daemon that downloads and interpret PAC
- files through a JavaScript interpreter. Once the interpretation is
- done, pacrunner is able to associate a proxy with an URL.
- pacrunner D-Bus interface exports a configuration API for passing
- it the PAC URLs. It also provide a FindProxyForURL() API for
- application to know which proxies to use.
- ConnMan will use pacrunner for both auto and manual proxy
- configurations. Then applications should talk to pacrunner (through
- libproxy for example) to find the right proxies.
- ConnMan will also use the FindProxyForURL() pacruner API for a more
- stable and accurate online detection code.
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
-- Moving DNS proxy code to ConnMan core
+- WiFi p2p
Priority: Medium
Complexity: C2
- Supporting DNS proxy or resolv.conf direct editing seems more than
- plenty as far as resolving is concerned. So the idea is to move the
- dnsproxy plugin code to ConnMan core and have an additional command
- line option in case one would like to stick with the current
- resolver.c code for editing resolv.conf.
+- Removing wpa_supplicant 0.7.x legacy support
-WiFi
-====
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
+ Owner: Tomasz Bursztyka <tomasz.bursztyka@linux.intel.com>
-- WPS
+ 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)
- Priority: Low

- Dependencies: Core:Agent callbacks
+Bluetooth
+=========
+- Remove Bluez 4.x support
-- Ad-Hoc support
+ Priority: Low
+ Complexity: C1
- Priority: Medium
- Complexity: C2
- Dependencies: Core:Avahi-zeroconf
+ Remove plugins/bluetooth-legacy.c support in about 6 month (July 2013) or
+ when Bluez 4.x usage becomes minimal.
+Cellular

+- L2TP & PPTP compatibility prefix removal
-- EAP-AKA/SIM
+ 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
- Owner: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>
- 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.
+ Update VPNC and OpenVPN with VPN Agent support to request possible user
+ ids and passphrases.
-- WiFi p2p
+Tools
+=====
- Priority: Medium
+- 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.
-Bluetooth

-- DUN client
+User Interface
+==============
+
+- GNOME3 UI
Priority: Low
Complexity: C4
+ Owner: Alok Barsode <alok.barsode@linux.intel.com>
+
+ A GNOME3 shell user interface would make it easier for mainstream distros
+ users to use ConnMan.
