 Development plan for checkpkg:
-
-- Move the 'data' field of the srv4_file table to a separate table (should
-	speed up checking if stats are already collected)
-- Store run history and display stats from each run
+- Generalize dependency checking by adding NeedFile(file_list, reason) to
+  error_mgr.  It's possible to need one of the listed files only, so files are
+  given as alternatives, but the reason is common.
+- Display stats from each run
 - Shorten the on-screen output, add commands to display override lines
 - Move the set check stats outside of checking functions, remove the special
-	status of dependency checking functions; add a progress bar for it.
+  status of dependency checking functions; add a progress bar for it.
 - Restructure the error reporting, group them by errors.
 
+Also, see ticket list on trac: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/report/1
