-*** THIS FILE IS OBSOLETE ***

-Although many of the projects in this file are still current and
-valid, roadmap information is now stored in the src/doc/roadmaps
-directory.
-
-This file is temporarily retained to allow the information in it to be
-transitioned.

-
-A high-level roadmap for NetBSD
-
-This file contains a general map of where we would like to take
-NetBSD over the next N years.  It is not highly detailed or overly
-specific about each item.  There are several different "TODO" files
-and "NetBSD Projects" lists in various places that contain some
-more detailed plans.  This is the framework in which those projects
-and plans are expected to fit.
-
-As this is a volunteer project, there are no specific dates beside
-these items.  These items may or may not get picked up in any order,
-and the roadmap may change as technologies and perceived needs
-change.
-
-The roadmap, of course, is constructed in the context of the
-Project's (broad) goals:
-
-       * clean design          * stable                * fast 
-       * clean licensing       * portable              * interoperable
-       * conformant            * commercial-ready      * research-ready
-       * hobby-ready
-
-In general, we are headed for:
-
-       * "State of the art" tools (current (and stable) GNU tools,
-         addition of Solaris's dtrace or similar functionality, kernel
-         core dumps on all platforms and post-mortem analysis tools,
-         performance analysis tools with support for hardware assists
-         like PMCs)
-
-       * Support for all devices without encumbered code
-
-       * Managed growth of the base system
-
-       * Minimal GPL / LGPL code in the base system
-
-       * Maximal performance without compromising portability
-
-       * "State of the art" technology in the kernel and userland
-
-       * No bugs, no security vulnerabilities
-
-       * In combination with pkgsrc, a complete system for a variety
-         of users, administrators, and researchers: desktops, embedded
-         devices, servers, workstations, and portables
-
-This is, by no means, a comprehensive list, and purposefully aggressive.
-One of the many challenges will be to achieve excellence in each arena
-we tackle and not settle for being a "jack of all trades, master of none."
-
-The following, more specific, items are divided into rough categories:
-       1. Platform independent kernel
-       2. Platform independent userland
-       3. Platform dependent kernel
-       4. Platform dependent userland
-       5. Other
-
-If you'd like to take on a project, please record your name/email,
-the date that you're claiming a project (or part of a project--if
-a part, please specify the part), and an expected completion date.
-This will hopefully avoid both duplication of effort and too many
-or too-extended stalls.
-
-PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A VOLUNTEER PROJECT, AND THAT NONE OF THESE 
-RELEASE VERSIONS, OR NAMES, IS A GUARANTEE OF THE FUNCTIONALITY BEING  
-COMPLETE OR EVEN STARTED.  INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD CONTACT

-FOR MORE INFORMATION.

-
-1. Platform independent kernel
-==============================
-aa. Scheduler works
-    Separation of context switching and thread scheduling.
-       Responsible: yamt
-       ETA: 5.0 (yamt-idlelwp branch)
-    Generic scheduler API for modular implementations.
-       Responsible: dsieger
-       ETA: 5.0 (merged in yamt-idlelwp branch)
-    New scheduler supporting POSIX Real-time features, CPU affinity and
-    having a better support for MP systems.
-       Responsible: rmind
-       ETA: 5.0
-
-ab. Reduction of the giant lock
-    There are several proposals for the best way forward on this, but
-    we really need a couple of people with time to step forward and
-    lead us here.
-       Responsible: ad
-       ETA: 5.0 (vmlocking2 branch)
-
-ac. Expansion of wedge support
-    Complete the development of wedges and retire disklabels except
-    where needed for compatibility.
-       Responsible: thorpej (possibly)
-       ETA: 5.0
-
-ad. Volume management
-    Allow us to grow, shrink, and move partitions (and, where possible,
-    filesystems).
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-ae. High-performance, maybe log-based, journalled fs w/ snapshot support
-    Addition of logs, journals, and snapshots to FFS is a lot, another
-    filesystem could be cleaner and faster.
-       Responsible: simonb
-       ETA: 5.0 (journaling + snapshots don't work together yet though)
-
-af. Expansion of ieee1394 support
-    Where possible, fully support DV, disk, and network devices.
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: Preliminary firewire support is in 4.0
-
-ag. Generic device hotplug support
-    Support hotplug of all devices and busses that support it.  This
-    should be divided into subcategories and does cross over some into
-    platform-dependent areas.  SATA, SCSI, FC, USB, Firewire,
-    PCI (PCI-X, and PCI-Express), etc.  There is some rudimentary
-    support present, but it is far from comprehensive.
-       Responsible: bouyer
-       ETA: ?
-
-ah. Suspend and resume support
-    We should be able to fully use suspend and resume on PCs, macppc,
-    and anyone else who supports it in hardware (sparc, hpcsh, hpcarm, etc).
-       Responsible: jmcneill, joerg
-       ETA: 5.0
-
-ai. Complete support for LWPs
-    There are still vestiges of the kernel that predate LWPification
-    and should be updated.  [ What other than ktrace? ]
-       Responsible: darrenr, skrll, christos did ktrace-lwp
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-aj. PTHREAD_CONCURRENCY > 1 support
-    A single process that uses threads should be able to reliably
-    use more than one CPU.
-       Responsible: ad
-       ETA: 5.0  (1:1 pthread come with newlock2)
-
-ak. AIO support
-    POSIX aio_*() with full support for Asynchronous I/O (AIO) in the
-    kernel.
-       Responsible: rmind
-       ETA: 5.0
-
-al. Modern parallel port support
-    Complete support for bidirectional and "advanced" functionality
-    from parallel ports.
-       Responsible: jdolecek
-       ETA: ?
-
-am. NFSv4
-    Bring our NFS up to current standards.
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-an. Update the locking mechanisms in the kernel
-    This requires some platform support.  A good bit of work is on the
-    now-archaic "newlock" branch, from thorpej.  It requires some
-    overhaul of cpu_switch/scheduler so that mutex_*(9) and ltsleep(9)
-    can interlock.
-       Responsible: ad
-       ETA: 5.0  (newlock2)
-
-ao. Review TCP/IP developments
-    Fix NewReno
-       Responsible: mycroft
-       ETA: 3.0
-    Add SACK support to the kernel.
-       Responsible: kurahone
-       ETA: 3.0
-    Add ECN support to the kernel.
-       Responsible: rpaulo
-       ETA: 5.0
-    Look into other "recent" and current TCP/IP research. Adapt our stack
-    to the more modern world.
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-ap. Kernel linker (ala FreeBSD's kld)
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-aq. CARP/VRRP
-    Functionality is great, but there might be some concern here over
-    Cisco patents.
-       Responsible: liamfoy
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-ar. UDF filesystem support
-    OpenBSD has recently added this.
-       Responsible: reinoud
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-as. RAIDFrame support for 3-way RAID 1
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-at. RAIDFrame support for RAID 6
-       Responsible: oster
-       ETA: 5.0?
-
-au. More modern drivers
-    We lack support for a number of more modern devices (PCI-Express,
-    RAID cards, etc.) that are supported on other open source OSes.
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-av. iSCSI initiator support
-    We should be able to use iSCSI volumes.
-       Responsible: agc
-       ETA: 5.0
-
-aw. Run-time changeable limits to SysV IPC
-    Some of the limits for SysV IPC are hardcoded in the kernel
-    configuration--these should be changable via sysctl.
-       Responsible: rmind
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-ax. NUMA support
-    To achieve this goal, the CPU scheduler should be modified to take into
-    account the distances and grouping of CPUs.  Also, support of memory
-    blocks should be implemented in the VM subsystem.
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-2. Platform independent userland
-================================
-aa. Keep up with the X world
-    Track X.org progress.  Maintain existing XFree86.
-       Responsible: a cast of thousands
-       ETA: ongoing
-
-ab. Reentrant libraries
-    Make sure that all libraries are re-entrant and usable for threaded
-    applications.
-       Responsible: ginsbach and others
-       ETA: 5.0?
-
-ac. gcc updates
-    This requires some work to rework the gcc4 builds to work with BSD
-    make(1) or update BSD make(1) or consider the unthinkable.
-       Responsible: mrg, matt
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-ad. gdb updates
-       Responsible: skrll
-       ETA: 5.0
-
-ae. binutils updates
-    Probably go along with gdb updates.
-       Responsible: skrll
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-af. Better post-mortem debugging tools
-    It would be useful to have something between ps/*stat/etc. and
-    gdb with a core file.  Something, perhaps, like SysV(?) crash(8).
-       Responsible: TBD
-       ETA: ?
-
-ag. Better 802.11 utilities and support
-    To truly support mobile users, we need better support for scanning
-    for base stations and affiliating with them.
-       Responsible: dyoung, skrll, scw and others
-       ETA: 4.0
-
-ah. Internationalization
-    Citrus, wide-char curses (SoC integration?), collation, localized
-    printf with positional parameter support, time & currency
-    support, etc.  NetBSD has a global user and developer base and
-    our i18n support should reflect that.
-        (a) Support cond. printf fmt. 4.0 will have vfwprintf with
-           positional parameter support; 5.0 will have vfprintf with
-           positional parameter support.
-               Responsible: christos
-               ETA: 5.0
-        (b) Support LC_COLLATE
-        (c) mklocale(1) -> localedef(1)
