| It would be helpful to move Metro away from being just a bunch of config files. Right now, the config files drive Metro. It would be better to focus on documenting the Python API, and then the config files become a means of populating the API with data, but direct python commands could always be executed instead. Then the config exists to populate the API with data.

| | |
| === API ===
| |
| | |
| * Add data element
| |
| * Add file
| |
| * Specify template for arbitrary file in chroot (to make it easy to modify any file)
| |
| * Chroot and execution API
| |
| * Cleanup API
| |
| * Packaging API
| |
| * Get rid of multi-targets and replace with python API calls
| |
| * Use API to create new metro front-end to replace <tt>ezbuild.sh</tt>
| |
| * metro with real command-line arguments, like <tt>-m</tt> or <tt>--multi</tt> to enable multi-mode, <tt>-b</tt> or <tt>--build</tt> to specify build, etc.
| |
| | |
| === Other Improvements ===
| |
| | |
| * LiveCD support
| |
| * Kernel build and Initramfs support (for testing as well as pre-built packages)
| |
| * General pre-built package support
| |
| * Sandbox support
| |
| * Metro does not currently properly handle simultaneous snapshot creation
