TODO revision 1.9
      1  1.9  pooka 	$NetBSD: TODO,v 1.9 2013/01/08 13:45:28 pooka Exp $
      2  1.1  pooka 
      3  1.2  pooka * integrate build framework with config(1) to stop the need to
      4  1.8  pooka   maintain a separate build infrastructure.  the remaining step
      5  1.8  pooka   is to rewrite the Makefiles to use  source file lists generated
      6  1.8  pooka   with config(1) (where possible)
      7  1.8  pooka   + this will also benefit kernel modules
      8  1.9  pooka   + the patch to config(1) exists but is not in-tree.  remaining work is
      9  1.9  pooka     modifications to files.*
     10  1.4  pooka * find a better solution for rumpdefs.h, the sed "solution"
     11  1.4  pooka   doesn't really scale nicely
     12  1.9  pooka   + something toolchain-based?
     13  1.9  pooka * make it possible for kernel components to define private hypercalls.
     14  1.9  pooka   the implementation is trivial (just do it), but the build system makes
     15  1.9  pooka   things very difficult (if you want to find out why, just try it).
     16  1.9  pooka * the .a semantics do not make sense for rump kernel components.
     17  1.8  pooka   additionally, they cannot be loaded as modules since they are
     18  1.8  pooka   ar's instead of elf objects.  make the build produce and use elf
     19  1.8  pooka   objects instead of archives
     20  1.8  pooka * cleanup remaining uses of __ in the kernel
     21  1.9  pooka * rump_syscalls.c in librump should be compiled in the client
     22  1.9  pooka   namespace, not the rump kernel namespace.  while technically trivial,
     23  1.9  pooka   the build system makes this quite difficult.  one option for "cheating"
     24  1.9  pooka   would be to put it into librumpuser which is always available for
     25  1.9  pooka   local clients (per definition of local client).
     26  1.9  pooka * add autoconf support to librumpuser to clean up the #ifdef acrobatics
     27  1.9  pooka   and fix some of the issues that cannot be handled purely with static
     28  1.9  pooka   ifdefs (autoconf to be used for non-native builds only)
