Pending Changes Requested for SoftRelTools

The domain/package structure in the tmp area needs to be reorganized. (from CMS meeting)
Possibly implement site-specific files for maintainability. (from CMS meeting)
Support for SunOS 2.5 and HP-UX 10.x (from CMS meeting)
Automate package directory management so that package area corresponds to release area automatically. (from CMS meeting)
Add release tags to CVS. (from CMS meeting)
Link ordering. (from CMS meeting)
Multiple CVS repositories. (from CMS meeting)
Remove the hard coded paths to the CDF mailing list from the error logger and move the CDF mailing list out of CVS. (Glen Cooper, Robert Harris)
Make it possible to do a gmake from subdirectories (e.g., package directories), not just the top level of a release.
Implement "gmake debug", "gmake exceptions", "gmake profile", etc. (Alan Jonckheere, Walter Brown)
Add a SRT command 'addsubpkg' to add subpackages to a test release structure.
Implement Alan's revised configure script, which will work for D0 as well as CDF, and will work on all platforms.
New targets for each package (Alan Jonckheere):

<package>.clean: clear out that package from bin/, lib/, tmp/, man/, etc. areas.
areas for regression testing: $(regdir) or etc.

Support building shared libraries (libpkg.so). (Qizhong Li)
Write a script to modify a test release that the big directories like bin/ lib/ and tmp/ can be easily moved to a scratch disk (via symbolic links). This will allow source code modifications to live in safe backed up disks.
Write a rmpkg script which does the opposite of addpkg. It needs to rm -rf the package delete lib files, links in include/ and clean out the corresponding tmp/ area.
Get SRT to not look in $BFDIST for libraries etc., if that package exists in the user's local release. (Pasha Murat)
Standardize use of $(libdir)/ versus $(libdir) to avoid // . (Art Kreymer)
Solve "pwd problem" by making dependencies node-independent. (Herb Greenlee)
Use (equivalent of) -r switch, to cut down extraneous lines generated with -d switch. This can be done in GNUmakefile.main with a line:

Specify whether current environment is POSIX-compliant. (Use DEFECTs?) (Walter Brown)

Done:

1998/08/21	Restructure code for readability and add comments Remove all BABAR specific code wrapped in ifdefs KCC_3_3 specific code to keep .o files around now applies to all compilers; redundant code commented out.
1998/05/15	"Refresh" mechanism to force rebuilding an entire library--e.g., when a file has been removed from the package. (Art Kreymer)
1998/03/26	Use CPPMFLAGS instead of explicit -M flag when generating .d files from C/C++ (needed under Solaris, which wants "-xM" instead of "-M"). (Lars Rasmussen)
1998/03/24	Take --c flag out of CCFLAGS, replacing "CC := KCC" with "CC := KCC --c" for KCC sections. This makes it easier to override CC with (e.g.) cc if needed for non-ANSI C code.
1998/03/19	Add standardized <compiling> etc. to gmake output, for use by error logger script.
1998/03/04	Fix generation of .d files from .F files under KAI (Fixed by LSK along with general cleanup of flags)
1998/02/26	Split GNUmakefile.main so that the top-level GNUmakefile of a release is a minimal file (GNUmakefile.top), which then includes the remaining part of GNUmakefile.main. Suggested by Alan Jonckheere to keep test releases' GNUmakefiles up to date.
1998/02/25	Clean up BINS list, removing SRTcheck etc. that we don't use.
1998/02/18	<package<.tbin: split test binaries (tbin/ area) from must-build binaries (bin/ area) in each package.
1998/02/16	(CDF only) Get rid of duplicate set of DEFINES and other flags from GNUmakefile.main (and other files?).
1998/01/29	Add --c to CCFLAGS for KCC (all platforms).
1998/01/29	Solve problem with SRT always adding -old_ld: Remove -old_ld from LDFLAGS for IRIX6, as it's included by gcc already.
