I'd like to propose TwistedMatrix as portage-ng dev framework. Twisted is an |
| 2 |
asynchrone (event driven) network framework, written in python. It should |
| 3 |
allow us to : |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- Make portage-ng a real server (which could be run via /etc/init.d/...) |
| 7 |
- Make portage-ng modulable |
| 8 |
- Make portage-np portable (twisted is avaible, like python, on linux / BSD / |
| 9 |
windows / macos). |
| 10 |
- Make async query to the package base (which should be in a small relational |
| 11 |
DB system (like sqlite ?). |
| 12 |
- Manage roles / security |
| 13 |
- Easy write guis apps (even webapps with woven). |
| 14 |
- use the twisted unit test framework, with a build bot (greatly improve the |
| 15 |
quality of the developped product). |
| 16 |
- use plug-ins for portage (twisted has a plugin system). |
| 17 |
- Send portage events with various protocols (irc / mail / im / etc. -> |
| 18 |
twisted supports a LOT of protocols, and they are easy to implement). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- And I surely forget some really cool features. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'd like to be in the dev team if you choose to use twisted. I've started an |
| 23 |
app to manage portage (current) with woven (just started the projet, so it's |
| 24 |
prepreprealpha stuff ;p ) : |
