What I miss in my last mail |

|
| 11 |
- a frontend to a website cheker. Currently I found weblint (written in |
| 12 |
Perl, which I got to emerge) and net-analyzer/linkchecker, which doesn't |
| 13 |
work (without using progressive, because it depends on Python 2.4) |

I could see multiple things, in something like the following order |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
1) a port of Renaissance to cocoa. Because there already exist a binary |
| 30 |
distribution, porting must be possible. Perhaps a special USE flag is |
| 31 |
needed, for somebody who want to keep parallel versions for GNUstep/X and |
| 32 |
Cocoa in parallel. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
2) check if it is useful to create ebuilds for py2app and PyObjc. I am not |
| 35 |
quite sure about the dependencies these packages should have. It would be |
| 36 |
good if they are not Macos specific, but could be used in Gentoo / Linux. |
| 37 |
Possbly of interest for GNUstep. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
3) I would see if I could do my frontend ideas, and if I am successful, I |
| 40 |
would like to add these to the ebuilds. I would like to see some sepecial |
| 41 |
USE flags (USE=gui?) where these frontends are emerged. Again, by using |
| 42 |
the packages, this could be interesting for Gentoo Linux too (even if I |
| 43 |
think that there are not so many people interested in a GNUstep based GUI, |
| 44 |
yet ;)) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
4) discuss the possibilities for a Gentoo GUI frontend - check for needed |
| 47 |
features and possible solutions. If it makes sense to use my proposed |
| 48 |
solution, I would be fine with helping with an implementation. |
