$NetBSD: TODO.users,v 1.1 1995/04/25 18:16:15 cgd Exp $
The NetBSD/Alpha "User" To-Do List
The following are things that I'd like to see "users" of NetBSD/Alpha do.
It's unlikely that I'll get around to them in any reasonable time
frame, and I think they _should_ get done.
If you think of something that should be added to this list (and don't
want to do it yourself, right then 8-), send me mail and I'll add it.
If you're planning to work on something on this list, send me mail and
tell me about it, so that I can keep people from duplicating work.
Once you've done something on this list, send me context diffs.

Make GDB work.
(1) for debugging live processes; shouldn't require kernel work.
(2) for debugging core dumps; may require kernel work.
Test programs; find and fix bugs. In particular:
(1) make sure accounting works
(2) figure out why strip doesn't seem to work
(3) last i checked, 'file' core dumped
(4) /usr/games
Compile some of the more useful X clients. (e.g. xterm and resize.)
Make TurboChannel option slots work reasonably. This will require
different sets of code to be written on the 3000/[4-9]00 and on the
3000/300 families. It shouldn't be too hard, but you will need some
devices that live in option slots.
Once TC option slots work, somebody with a TC ethernet board should
make it work, for completeness.
Get the GNU tools to generate a.out binaries for the alpha. Once that
is done:
(1) make gprof work, then profile the kernel and tell me how
bad my assumptions lost.
(2) make the rest of the NetBSD a.out-manipulation tools (e.g.
nm) work.
Make DDB work. (For completeness, may require a.out kernel binaries
and/or some ecoff symbol handling code to be written; the former
is strongly preferred.)
Make CVS work. I've no reason to think that it shouldn't, but...
