User:Sam/TODO/Tasks

Here's a list of tasks that are pretty helpful for contributors or developers to participate with.

In particular, for people interested in gaining a lot of experience, as some of these involve working across the tree and solving a variety of problems.

Deprecations:
 * Porting away from EAPI 5
 * Modernising autotools-utils.eclass consumers (replacement: autotools.eclass)
 * Modernising cmake-utils.eclass consumers (replacement: cmake.eclass)
 * Removing eutils inherits - shouldn't be needed now (replacement: depends on functions used. a lot are now built into EAPIs.)

Looking ahead:
 * -fno-common and GCC 10 bugs

Misc:
 * Ensuring build systems (and init scripts) work with /bin/sh != bash

Repetitive:
 * colon-in-CFLAGS
