 # TODO:
+# - safer update and restore procedure
+#   we need to first make a temporary backup of the package, then remove
+#   the whole bunch including directories, and then unpack the new package
+#   But to get this working we need to fix TLMedia so that it does not die
+#   if the download/un-lzma/un-tar didn't work, but return something decent
+#   Umpf, and yes, what if a file changed into a dir, and the un-tar broke
+#   halfway so that there is already the dir. Bummer. Guess we have to remove
+#   that partly installed package, too. It is getting complicated.
+# - tlmgr logging of package transactions (install, remove, update) into
+#   tlmgr.log
+# - tlmgr update collection-foobar should check for updates of all
+#   dependencies, too, so that tlmgr update collection-foobar will get updates
+#   to sub-packages anyway.
 # - update and install should work differently:
 #   . create a list of all packages to be installed together with
 #     the depends closure operation
