* Allow different fields to be written out to the metadata log and the statcache file. * Implement a scheme for cleaning metadata log segments when metadata is re-used. * Improve the interface for remote upload scripts. The current interface is preliminary and is subject to change. * Continue to investigate schemes for adding parity blocks for error recovery. * Rename cumulus to cumulus-backup, and write a new Python program, simply called cumulus, to replace the functions in cumulus-util and act as a wrapper for cumulus-backup. Integrate automatic segment cleaning and backup expiration. * Write a module that allows duplicity storage backends to be used for cumulus.
