Hey folks, 
 I updated the devel todo list a bit. Some of these items are bluesky
and some are easy to pick off.

if anyone wants to take on some of them just yell.

- more output patches - terje and favia
- syslog output
- history saving format - terje's ideas
- txmbr.remove() calls requiring pkgs from txmbr, too
- yum shell:
    depsolve
    check
    exclude
    enablerepo
    disbalerepo
    transaction list
                remove
                reset
    setconfig
    getconfig
    
- copyright date changes
- exit to shell on depsolve failure
- remove generate-rss
- new tsflags
- repackage support
- groups w/--packages=optional, etc
- groups w/full versions?
- merge sean's patches to groups.py
- work on more advanced groups concepts
- clean up strings for translations
- fix up error/result code strings - make more clear
- update man page with shell information
  - maybe yum-shell.8 man page
- exactarch as list of pkgnames
- fix up weird cases on update and multilib
- update to not-quite-latest-version fix
- kernel pruning (external?)
- leaf-node pruning (external?)
- clean up code, remove old code, reorganize code that
  is in the wrong place.
- pass packageobjects
- generic po_from_pkgtup code for rpmdb, packagesack and txmbr
- nightly cron job runs yum shell script
- sql-based exclude non-compat arches   
- cElementTree for import? 
   - concerns anotherdep, improvement?

  
repodata:
- pull out description,summary, etc into new file
   -resolve.xml
