Future Tasks
============

Functional Changes
------------------

  * ob-buildopk, ob-genchanges, ob-gencontrol, opkbuild: s/src-/src:/
  * ob-buildopk: Build external archives with ar by default, or tar if chosen by
    configure option.  prokit and pro-archman must first be modified to unpack
    ar archives before ProteanOS switches to ar.
  * ob-unpacksource: Maybe call separate decompressor utilities instead of using
    tar's seamless decompression.  This enables support for xz with
    BusyBox < 1.21.0 (commit dfc2473).  (Not really needed, since ProteanOS has
    used a sufficiently recent BusyBox since early 2014.)
  * Split distribution packaging from upstream sources in source packages.
    - Non-native package:
      * `src:foo` is the distribution packaging, and it depends on
        `src:foo:upstream`
      * If the revision isn't "1", don't build and upload upstream sources.
      * pro-archman will need some modifications to handle this.
    - Native package:
      * `src:foo` is the whole package.
      * Upload everything always.
  * ob-installdocs: Handle non-directory non-regular files?
  * Someday restore (removed in commit 3cc4e19) and implement
    `ob_summarize_package_arch()` and `ob_summarize_package_plat()` to queue
    source packages for build daemons.
