I want to start a PLAN file in CVS which contains the steps we plan for the future, and for which release each is targeted. We should also maybe fix what features we think are necessary for a 1.0 release.
Pre 1.0: * shlibs support - I am going to work on this during weekend * two-level hierachy inside trees - the long ago discussed move from a one level deep hierachy (gnome, games, editors, etc.) to a two-level one. We need to agree on a set of directories for this, I think, and some tools for the bin/srcdist will have to be adapted. * support for java packages * A way to sign .deb files (and maybe als .info files), and to automatically verify these signatures. This might not seems that important right now, but definitly will be in the future. I think we should use gnupg for this. At least all of the fink core developers will have to have a key, ideally all cross-signed with each other. Whenever somebody makes a binary release available, he'll sign it with his personal key. This is no easy thing, and probably will have to be discuessed in a full thread of its own. * Move to a new package format - yes or no, and which. This has to be carefully designed, I think. Post 1.0 (this doesn't mean we can't do it before, but it's not necessary for 1.0 either) * interactive mode * GUI Please mention things I forgot and which you think are important for future fink versions.
