General ToDo list for emdebian-tools
		====================================

(no particular order, the numbers are chronological of the
appearance of the issue.)

emdebuild bug:
==============

1. create a way to replicate the apt-cross dependency list, just
	as an informative list. Link that with empath. (Replace with debian/xcontrol)

2. libtool problems: copy the relevant files from the extracted source package
   to a temporary dir, configure libtool, build a test library.

3. emsource could do with using libsvn-perl

4. advise users to switch to static IP addresses to get things like
	USB networking enabled - network-manager tries to access the
	internet via the balloon USB connection which is plain stupid.

5. expand embug and fold in embug_report to report bugs using user tags
	and templates. Provide support for tag manipulation via bts to avoid
	problems with reportconf.

6. incorporate apt-build once Crush support becomes simpler.

8. apt-cross to hack around limitations of debootstrap with multiple mirrors.
	Reinventing so look into Stag again.

9.  codehelp, ideally we'd have a pile of workarounds, and switches to turn them off, so we can have working packages and automated testing of whether a package actually needs them
<codehelp> I can do that
(this is done in 0.7.3)
<WorkingGeier> the idea would be to talk to jvw
<codehelp> I built four packages before I found one that needed the libtool hack
 jvw?
 who's that? (excuse my ignorance)
<WorkingGeier> Jeroen van Wolfelaar
 he wrote a system called Mole during SoC
 which allows us to track dynamic info about packages
 i.e. autobuilder results, testsuite runs etc
 we could hook into that, and have warnings "your package needs the following kludges to autobuild" to the PTS pages
 s/to/on/
<codehelp> yes, I know mole - I know who you mean now. Thanks

'[X-]Build-Cross-Libtool: yes'

10. emtargetcmp needs to handle binNMU versions: 0.125+b1 as equal to the equivalent source:Version.

11. TDebs, grip and squeeze+1 
 Once the locale-root separation is within the Debian TDeb, Grip
 can "pick out" the relevant locale roots into Emdebian TDebs for
 Grip and leave the Debian TDeb as a meta-package, depending on
 the OR'd list of generated TDebs? Remove the need for langupdate
 in Grip? Debian packages will depend on the TDeb already.
