Tasks
=====

General Cleanup
---------------

  * Add more error handling?
  * Finish manual pages for functions and utilities.
  * Improve in-place locale loading, including the safety of
    `printf "${_OB_LOCALE_PATH}"`.
  * Make ob- executables work without environment variables from opkbuild?
  * Add unit tests for executables.

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

  * ob-installdocs: Handle non-directory non-regular files?
  * ob-applypatches: Track and skip applied patches in `.opkbuild/patches` file:
    - `ob-applypatches: Skipping applied patch "01_foo.patch"...`
  * ob-buildopk: Build internal archives with ar, not tar.
  * ob-buildopk, ob-genchanges, ob-gencontrol, opkbuild: s/src-/src:/
  * 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.
    - Native package:
      * `src:foo` is the whole package.
      * Upload everything always.
  * Drop mksysconf.
  * ob-unpacksource: Support xz upstream archive decompression.
  * 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.)
