====== 9.0 TODO, open tasks, ongoing projects ======

This is a transcriptish from the blackboard at the BSDCan [[DevSummit/201105]] 9.0 Finalization Planning session, 2011-05-12:

===== items =====

  * [[/JohnBaldwin|JohnBaldwin]]'s slides go here

==== toolchain/clang ====

  * clang switch in ports needed
  * compile ports with different/non-base compiler
  * external toolchain support (imp)
  * Make /usr/bin/cc gcc but build base+sys with clang (per-arch)
  * benchmarks (dhw)
    * worldstone
    * unixbench
    * sysbench

==== Open questions? ====

  * GPT default?
    * Dedicated disk in installer get GPT by default
    * GPT Labels? glabel? (there are some labels) UFS labels?
  * Auto-mode partition schemes for UFS and ZFS
    * propose 1-3 common once
  * hw.acpi.power_blah? Try for 9 and back out if it blows up.

==== Other ongoing projects ====

  * bsdinstall ZFS installation (pjd)
  * ZFS daemon (justin)
  * 64bit inodes (10.x?)
  * Add new stat?
  * Intel graphics driver? (kib) (PC-BSD) -- probably MFCable
  * openssh-hpn (brooks, bz)
  * boot loader menu
  * VOP API changes? (rick)
  * Crash dumps on by default? (MFC?)
  * Automatic crash reports by default? (MFC?)
  * pf45 (eri)
  * VIMAGE Infrastructure
  * GEOM multithread flag

==== misc ====

  * Run benchmarks before we'll release 9.0? (they voice of god said we clearly haven't done enough benchmarking)
  * Interest in stripped down version supported longer for 2 years by so@?
    * Start of stable branch => 4y?
    * 1 release per stable branch.
    * What in, what out? Build list.
  * More bsdinstall testing
  * 32bit ifindex? (not for 9)

==== MUST NOT change ====

  * NIC driver w/o tight upper layer integration (like TOE)
  * Storage drivers in CAM
