We'll have a maintenance release with bug-fixes and few changes as
indicated below.
This is primarily about V0.7.1
Some of the changes are a preparation to get the backend act right
before the next major release V0.8.

Suggestions are welcome. People interested in contributing are welcome
to discuss these on belenix-dev at opensolaris.org

BeleniX V0.7.1
=================
1. Flash player to be included

2. Moving to KDE 3.5.9 (?). Check the possibility. (The KDE 3.5.9
maintenance release was done during Mid Feb 2008
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.9.php).

3. Syncing with the latest FOX release.
        
4. Caiman slim source hard-codes lot of text. Many of these
hard-codings need to be changed for use in BeleniX. Write a tool to
automate this.
                
5. Move to latest slim install build.
        
6. as assembler, to be included. sunwcpp to be put up on BeleniX tools
for the purpose of packaging into.
                
7. Check possibility of moving to firefox 3.
                
8. Check the possibility of moving to a newer ON build. V0.7 is based on B81.
                
9. Include Tim Foster's ZFS tool.
        
10. Latest updated usbdump(provides persistence) to be included.

11. Moving to IPS is tentatively for V0.8. One needs to figure out how
to populate/import the IPS report for the target ON build since such
dependency exists.
As part of the preparatory step, this exercise needs to be carried out
for V0.7.1 timeline.

12. SVN conventions, branching to be finalized.

13. SVN pkgbuild macro for pkg_prefix to be introduced. All new specs
to make use of the convention. This helps movement of spec files from
BeleniX repo, SFE & spec-files-other repo with minimal overheads.
        

BeleniX V0.8
=================
1. SFW consolidation - converting into specs.           
2. mount_ntfs to be moved from custom code to linux_ntfs (ntfsprogs)
3. Apache frontend with IPS repo

.........add/delete other items as things progress..........

Notes
=======
1. V0.7.1 to be released some time in 1st week of June.
2. All the builds to happen with BeleniX 0.7 as the development platform.
3. Package dependency information need verification & some cleaning up.
