Here's a quick status update on where we're at with the installer project... |
2 |
|
3 |
- Project pages are up and full of neat things to read including |
4 |
specifications and diagrams. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/installer/ |
5 |
|
6 |
- Initial CVS repository is set up and some code has been checked in. |
7 |
(For those with Gentoo cvs access, it's under /gentoo/src/installer). |
8 |
Everyone can view the repository at |
9 |
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/installer/?root=gentoo |
10 |
|
11 |
- Coding guidelines have been established by those working on the |
12 |
prototype. When I get a chance, I will be formally writing them up, so |
13 |
when new developers join the project they can acclimate with greater ease. |
14 |
|
15 |
- The installation profile class has been mostly fleshed out. (This is |
16 |
the class that contains all user selections and installation options, |
17 |
give or take.). This is a relatively simple class, but important none |
18 |
the less. It parses from an XML file already so one half of "profile |
19 |
saving and storage for repeat installs" is done. |
20 |
|
21 |
- Discussion on the controller and architecture specific implementation |
22 |
code has begun. Code should begin soon as well. |
23 |
|
24 |
That's about what I can think of off the top of my head. If anyone has |
25 |
questions about specific items, feel free to ask here so everyone else |
26 |
can see as well. |
