-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 
-----------------------------------------
-
- 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)
-
