# $Id$
This file is a rough list of changes that need to be made to catalyst.
Global:
- Remove spec_prefix from all exported variables
- variables without spec_prefix are global and used in all targets
- variables with spec_prefix only apply to that target
- add multiple target support for spec files
- target: stage1
- targets: stage1 stage2 stage3 stage4 livecd netboot
- add more validation and checking for code which affects both host and target
- setup defaults if host isn't configured
- allow configuration globally (catalyst.conf), per-spec, or per-target
- ccache
- check host settings (size, location, etc) and restore them when done
- distcc
- check host settings (distcc_hosts, etc) and restore them when done
- icecream
- check host settings (icecream_hosts, etc) and restore them when done
- add support for new portage features
- Cache backends
- metadata_overlay (portage default in 2.1.6)
- sqlite
- Jobs
- Load Average
- Dependency checking
- Deep checking
- Complete Graph
- Build-time dependencies
- USE changes
- newuse versus changed-use
- Failure detection
- Add --keep-going support
- detect GCC version in seed stages for supported settings (CFLAGS)
Config:
- security
- sign materials automatically
- logging
- add logging support
- file-based
- syslog
- add notification capabilities
- email
- snmp trap
- separate out options that control catalyst versus the package manager
- options key should specify catalyst options
- new keys for package managers
- portage_features
- pkgcore_features
Targets:
- add support for livedvd
- do we use livecd/type or something new
- make livedvd type perform several actions automatically, if configured
- auto-fetch distfiles
- automatically pull stages
- local disk via absolute or relative path
- URI
- change user creation to be more flexible
- stage4 and netboot support
- build boot software for targets on-demand
- removes cdtar requirement
- allows one to specify multiple bootloaders
- boot/loader: grub elilo
- netboot/boot/loader: pxelinux elilo
- livecd/boot/loader: isolinux elilo
- add ability to specify other "bootables" to build/install, like memtest86+
- livecd/boot/image: memtest|/path/to/image
- do we also need a way to specify an initrd with this?
- add variable support for spec files
- automatic substitution
- %DATESTAMP%
- %BUILDDIR%
- user-defined
- %DISTRIBUTION%
- %AUTHOR%
