Note 1: This road-map continues to evolve and subject to change without notice.

Here is a smattering of ideas for Megatest 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

. Add variable $MT_RUNPATH = $MT_LINKTREE/$MT_TARGET/$MT_RUNNAME
----------------
[db]
api legacy|new
----------------
. One big lesson from the 1.63-1.65 generation was that the main.db, 1.db … model was really good at scaling. I’d like to combine that model with the current also-very-good model. Obviously this is a disruptive change. I think making the old model the default and the new model an option for at least one generation would be fair.
.   Rigorous megatest.config and runconfig.config caching.
..  Cache the configs in $MT_RUNPATH
..  Following invocations of –run, -rerun* will calculate the new config but only overwrite the cached file IF changed
. If the cached file changes ALL existing tests go from COMPLETED -> STALE, I’m not sure what to do about RUNNING tests
. !VARS in runconfigs are not exported to the environment. They are accessed via rget as if the ! was not there.
. Per test copy commands (crude example below is not correct).
----------------
[testcopy]
%/iind% unison SRC DEST
% cp –r SRC DEST
----------------
.	Test management via pkts (optional?)
..	Control pkt types: run, kill, rerunclean, clean, archive, status?
..	Status pkt types: ack, step, status_change
.	Add nanomsg as a transport option
.	

RFC M01: Add ability to move runs to other Areas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Purpose*: allow shrinking megatest.db data by moving runs to an alternate
 Megatest area with same keys.
