+The RPM TODO file.
+
+Aug 7, 1998, Version 0.05.
+
+This list is maintained by Alex deVries <adevries@engsoc.carleton.ca>.
+
+RPM itself is maintained by Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com> and Marc Ewing
+<marc@redhat.com>. Discussion of RPM development happens on the mailing
+list,
+rpm-list@redhat.com. See www.rpm.org for more details.
+
+People listed are done by initials:
+ewt Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
+adv Alex deVries <adevries@engsoc.carleton.ca>
+jbj Jeff Johnson <jbj@jbj.org>
+rg Ralph Goers <Ralph_Goers@candle.com>
+
+0. 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)
+
