Regarding gentoolkit/trunk/src/equery/tests |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I discovered all the test kit that's in equery, and have been refactoring 'em. |
| 7 |
They're written in bash, not python, so they're a candidate for some kind of |
| 8 |
python unit testing. Right now, however, that's not a priority for me, so I'm |
| 9 |
just making the bash cleaner and hopefully faster and more maintainable. I |
| 10 |
think it'll be helpful as we refactor. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The question is, how maintainable are the "help" tests? These are tests that |
| 13 |
try to confirm that the --help output of each module is correct. I think it |
| 14 |
might be more work than it's worth to try to maintain those... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Thoughts? |

| Hi, I'm interesting in tinkering with equery and doing some |
| 22 |
| refactorization in my spare time. I wrote a script that some people |
| 23 |
| mentioned would be a good module for equery (emeta, it's on bugzilla), |
| 24 |
| but as I was looking into that, I noticed that equery is written as a |
| 25 |
| script, even though it would probably really benifit from being modularized. |
| 26 |
| |
| 27 |
| Again, this is just because I have some free time right now and a |
| 28 |
| willingness to learn about Portage, but I thought I'd check with you |
| 29 |
| guys first. If I'm willing to do it without bother you all too much, |
| 30 |
| would it be something you're interested in me doing? My idea is to set |
| 31 |
| it up more like a Python package than a script, like: |
| 32 |
| /usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/equery/ |
| 33 |
| /usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/equery/__init__.py |
| 34 |
| /usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/equery/belongs.py |
| 35 |
| /usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/equery/check.py |
| 36 |
| /usr/lib/gentoolkit/pym/gentoolkit/equery/depends.py |
| 37 |
| etc... |
| 38 |
| |
| 39 |
| I think it would increase startup time and make adding or upgraded |
| 40 |
| modules easier in the future. |
| 41 |
| |
| 42 |
| Well, I have a few more questions but I'll wait and see if this would be |
| 43 |
| a positive thing or not. |
| 44 |
| |
| 45 |
| Thanks for your time, |
| 46 |
