38 This document is a list of things to do before the LLVM project is publicly
39 released. It will provide a checklist so that we know what has been
40 done and what is left to be done. It will also keep a "wishlist" of

83 <li>Modify the build environment so that the LLVM utilities
84 can be built outside of the research group. This entails:</li>
87 <li>Modify the build environment so that it does not use absolute
89 <li>Make the build environment more configurable via Makefile.config.<br>
91 <li>Add support for dynamic build configuration (i.e. autoconf
92 or imake support).</li>
93 <li>Ensure that all build types (debug, optimized, profile) work
98 <li>Ensure that the C front end compiles and installs nicely.</li>
99 <li>Place the C front end into the CVS repository.<br>
101 <li>Get the Reoptimizer code to work, ensuring that it does not rely
102 upon code outside of the source tree.<br>
104 <li>Create a structure that allows for the easy addition of outside
105 projects to the LLVM source tree.</li>
106 <li>Create a system for managing development and releases (i.e. CVS
107 branching, labeling revisions, etc).<br>

133 <li>Improve the testing framework.</li>
136 <li>Cleanup Reoptimizer tests so that they fit into the framework.<br>
138 <li>Create descriptions of what each test is doing (test specifications).</li>
141 <li>Get the Reoptimizer tests to compile under x86.<br>
143 <li>Determine which sub-projects of LLVM will be distributed.</li>
144 <li>Review and update documentation.</li>
145 <li>Create an installer for the software.<br>

171 <li>Find and implement a bug reporting system (i.e. Bugzilla).</li>
172 <li>Test installations on various Linux distributions.</li>
173 <li>Create a license for the UIUC specific LLVM code.</li>
174 <li>Add a license file to the distribution.</li>
175 <li>Add a copyright notice and license information to each source
177 <li>Create man pages for the LLVM utilities.<br>
