Bug fixes: +------------- + +- cross building problems: + - --sign doesn't work properly with multiple platforms + - it rebuilds the source rpms, which is a problem + + +1. Stuff that are critical for future development: +-------------------------------------------------- + +- new macros for building, jbj + +- fix RPM installation API to deal with sets of packages rather than + individual packages, ewt + +- have configure check for db_185.h (rg) + +2. Features that are of definite interest +----------------------------------------- + +- taking out old buildarch and buildos flags + +- getting rid of all the arch specific macros in lib/rpmrc.c + +- An RPM repository, with a database to store packages of different + versions and architectures. This would facilite installation greatly, + and allow for packages to have registered repositories. The intended + protocol is HTTP. ewt, adv + +- More flexible hardware and operating system tags, expanding the + current Arch and OS tags to include flexible support for things + like Arch version and OS version. The intention is to build in + boolean operators. + +- redo dependancy checking to take file conflicts into account + +- make package ordering during upgrades more robust (ewt) + +- PGP 5.0 support + +- bzip2 compression + +3. No-hurry features that would be considered +--------------------------------------------- + +- Fat RPM support, and a _seperate_ builder (partly done, adv) + |
