+(It is recommended to edit this file with emacs' todoo mode)
+Last updated: 2008-05-02
+
+* General
+
+- Clean up the sprawl of debian/rules. I'm sure there are neater
+ ways to do some of it; perhaps split it up into some more files?
+ Partly done.
+
+- Make debian/rules control build the control file without unpacking
+ the sources or applying patches. Currently, it unpacks the sources,
+ patches them, creates the control file, and a subsequent
+ dpkg-buildpackage deletes the sources, re-unpacks them, and
+ re-patches them.
+
+- Reorganise debian/rules.defs to decide which packages to build in a
+ more straightforward and less error-prone fashion: (1) start with
+ all languages; override the list of languages depending on the name
+ of the source package (gcc-4.3, gnat-4.3, gdc-4.3, gcj-4.3). (2)
+ filter the list of languages depending on the target platform; (3)
+ depending on the languages to build, decide on which libraries to
+ build.

+
+- Done: Link the gnat tools with libgnat.so, instead of statically.
+
+- Done: Build libgnatvsn containing parts of the compiler (version
+ string, etc.) under GNAT-Modified GPL. Link the gnat tools with it.
+
+- Done: Build libgnatprj containing parts of the compiler (the project
+ manager) under pure GPL. Link the gnat tools with it.
+
+- Done: Build both the zero-cost and setjump/longjump exceptions
+ versions of libgnat. In particular, gnat-glade (distributed systems)
+ works best with SJLJ.
+
+- Done: Re-enable running the test suite.
+
+- Add support for building cross-compilers.
+
+- Add support for multilib (not yet supported upstream).
+
+* Fortran
+
+- gfortran man page generation
+
+* Java
+
+- build java-gcj-compat from the gcc source?
