| - make disk partitioning/table formatting OPTIONAL (so it can be installed on an already formatted disk)
 | |
| - support Arch Linux ARM?
 | |
| - support multiple explicit locales via comma-separated list (see how i handle resolvers)
 | |
| - config layout
 | |
| -- need to apply defaults and annotate/document
 | |
| --- is this necessary since i doc with asciidoctor now?
 | |
| - how to support mdadm, lvm, LUKS FDE?
 | |
| -- cryptsetup support- use new child type, "cryptPart", under storage/disk/ and new mount attrib, "isLUKS"?
 | |
| - support serverside "autoconfig"- a mechanism to let servers automatically generate xml build configs. e.g.:
 | |
| 	kernel ... aif_url="https://build.domain.tld/aif-ng.php" auto=yes
 | |
|   would yield the *client* sending info via URL params (actually, this might be better as a JSON POST, since we already have a way to generate JSON. sort of.),
 | |
| 		e.g. https://build.domain.tld/aif-ng.php?disk[]=sda&disk[]=sdb&disk[sda]=300GB&disk[sdb]=500GB (can have it so that the autoconfig is only supported clientside if pyyaml is installed)
 | |
|   or something like that.
 | |
| - parser: make sure to use https://mikeknoop.com/lxml-xxe-exploit/ fix
 | |
| - convert use of confobj or whatever to maybe be suitable to use webFetch instead. LOTS of duplicated code there.
 | |
| - support XInclude
 | |
| - can i install packages the way pacstrap does, without a chroot? i still need to do it, unfortunately, for setting up efibootmgr etc. but..:
 | |
| 	pacman -r /mnt/aif -Sy base --cachedir=/mnt/aif/var/cache/pacman/pkg --noconfirm
 | |
| 	/dev/sda2 on /mnt/aif type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
 | |
| 	/dev/sda1 on /mnt/aif/boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
 | |
| 	proc on /mnt/aif/proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
 | |
| 	sys on /mnt/aif/sys type sysfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
 | |
| 	efivarfs on /mnt/aif/sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
 | |
| 	udev on /mnt/aif/dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=2012384k,nr_inodes=503096,mode=755)
 | |
| 	devpts on /mnt/aif/dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
 | |
| 	shm on /mnt/aif/dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
 | |
| 	run on /mnt/aif/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
 | |
| 	tmp on /mnt/aif/tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
 | |
|   OR just use pyalpm

| for network configuration, add in support for using a device's MAC address instead of interface name?
 | |
| 
 | |
| also:
 | |
| -create boot media with bdisk since default arch doesn't even have python 3
 | |
| -- this is.. sort of? done. but iPXE/mini build is failing, need to investigate why
 | |
| -- i tihnk i fixed iPXE but i need to generate another one once 1.5 is released
