Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This week I accomplished the following: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
1.) Improved source mirror auto-completion: |
| 6 |
- The overlay-maker utility now relies on |
| 7 |
an auto-completion template to fill in all |
| 8 |
necessary information for supported overlay |
| 9 |
source mirrors. The benefit of this is that you |
| 10 |
won't need to modify any code to add more |
| 11 |
auto-completion support. |
| 12 |
2.) Overlay-maker CLI: |
| 13 |
- The layman-overlay-maker utility has been given |
| 14 |
a CLI to interact with users to enable options such |
| 15 |
as: |
| 16 |
* List all mirrors that support auto-completion. |
| 17 |
* Only require bare-basic components for overlay |
| 18 |
definition creation. |
| 19 |
* Select a mirror for auto-completion (can be all |
| 20 |
mirrors). |
| 21 |
* Override the checks to save the overlay.xml in the |
| 22 |
configured "overlay_defs" location, bypass the |
| 23 |
checks to see if any overlay is given the name of an |
| 24 |
overlay that already exists. |
| 25 |
3,) Merges to master: |
| 26 |
- The following has been merged into layman's |
| 27 |
master branch on my github repo: |
| 28 |
* layman-overlay-maker utility and components. |
| 29 |
* layman's portage-sync plug-in. |
| 30 |
* Updated updater.py to check for the existence |
| 31 |
of enabled configuration types. |
| 32 |
* Complete migration from docstring test to full |
| 33 |
test suite. |
| 34 |
So, expect to see them in the next layman release |
| 35 |
or the 9999 ebuild soon. |
| 36 |
4.) Added layman-mounter tool: |
| 37 |
- To reflect the change of mounting squashfs overlays as |
| 38 |
read-only instead of extracting the archive, this |
| 39 |
utility has been created. |
| 40 |
- It can: |
| 41 |
* list all mountable overlays. |
| 42 |
* list the status of all mountable overlays (mounted/unmounted). |
| 43 |
* mount overlay(s). |
| 44 |
* unmount overlay(s). |
| 45 |
- This will allow users to enable mounting specific overlays on boot. |
| 46 |
|

As this upcoming week is the soft "pencils-down" week I still have |
| 48 |
time to do more work, which I will. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Goals for next week: |
| 51 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 52 |
* Work on getting the last three pull-requests merged with layman's |
| 53 |
master branch. |
| 54 |
* Add modular configuration plug-ins. |
| 55 |
* Refine any code necessary in order to get a new release ready before |
| 56 |
the end of the |
| 57 |
program. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
As always, to anyone interested the source code and my commits can be |
| 60 |
found on git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/[1] or on github.com[2] on |
| 61 |
layman's gsoc2014 branch. |
