43 released. It will provide a checklist so that we know what has been
44 done and what is left to be done. It will also keep a "wishlist" of

91 <li>Document the procedure for extracting, building, and installing
93 <li>Document how to start a project that uses LLVM and its build system.<br>
95 <li>Ensure that the C front end compiles and installs nicely.</li>
96 <li>Place the C front end into the CVS repository.<br>
98 <li>Get the Reoptimizer code to work, ensuring that it does not
99 rely upon code outside of the source tree.<br>
101 <li>Create a system for managing development and releases
102 (i.e. CVS branching, labeling revisions, etc).<br>

128 <li>Improve the testing framework.</li>
131 <li>Cleanup Reoptimizer tests so that they fit into the framework.<br>
133 <li>Create descriptions of what each test is doing (test specifications).</li>
136 <li>Get the Reoptimizer tests to compile under x86.<br>
138 <li>Determine which sub-projects of LLVM will be distributed.</li>
139 <li>Create an installer for the software.</li>
140 <li>Move over to the autoconf method of specifying object code directories.</li>
141 <li>Add an install target in the Makefiles that will "install" LLVM,
142 easing deployment.<br>

170 <li>Find and implement a bug reporting system (i.e. Bugzilla).</li>
171 <li>Test installations on various Linux distributions.</li>
172 <li>Create a license for the UIUC specific LLVM code.</li>
173 <li>Add a license file to the distribution.</li>
