- Remove spec_prefix from all exported variables - sign materials automatically - create logs - send emails - add multiple target support - separate out options that control catalyst versus the package manager - add a new livecd/type for livedvd - make livedvd type perform several actions automatically - auto-fetch distfiles - automatically pull stages - check that distcc_hosts is set before enabling distcc - allow setting of distcc_hosts in catalyst.conf with override in the specs - check ccache settings, such as size, and ensure we don't overwrite them - perform user management via a loop in livecd-stage2 - add portage jobs support - --jobs - --keep-going - --load-average - perform GCC version detection in seed stages to determine supported settings - build bootloaders for targets on-demand, rather than using pre-built tarballs - support for placeholders in spec file, both automatic and user-specifed - %DATESTAMP% could be automatic - %BUILDDIR% would be nice for livecd/iso instead of specifying full path
