Roadmap

Cyclone Winds Roadmap

This is a Roadmap for Cyclone Winds development and packaging planning. Please feel free to contribute.

C bindings:

• libcurl [IN PROGRESS - Justin Ethier]
• SQLite3 (see Chibi's implementation)
• SSL

Scheme ports

• PostgreSQL
• Filesystem utilities like the ones from Chibi or CHICKEN
• SHA2
• SSQL (See Chibis sqlite3 source code and search for "ssql->sql" - [GAVE UP - Arthur Maciel 02/2020 - ssql from chibi can't handle JOINs and ssql from CHICKEN uses 'define-for-syntax' which couldn't be substituted AFAIK in Cyclone)

Ports specifically from Chibi (in order of priority):

• pathname
• uri
• quoted printable
• base64
• mime

TBD for Cyclone Winds itself:

• correct test-local
• ask whether to reinstall already installed dependencies
• support package version
• create a complementary and more informative index
• automate package statistics generation (like data to create a dependency graph?)
• parallelize package installs?

Done:

• Easily portable Chibi's packages [DONE - Arthur Maciel 02/2020 - ported 'string', 'iset' and 'char-set']
• JSON reader/writer - [DONE - Arthur Maciel 02/2020]
• Regexp support (irregex) - [DONE - Arthur Maciel 02/2020]
• SXML - [DONE - Arthur Maciel 02/2020]
