Hey guys, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped to this week. Got massively stuck |
| 4 |
trying to find the best way to do keyboard layout selection, turns out |
| 5 |
that’s rather more complicated than I thought (and requires changes to |
| 6 |
the VM build tool). So that’s slipping into this weeks tasks as a |
| 7 |
continuation. I did do lots of tidying up of the code in the webUI |
| 8 |
branch, that should be ready to merge into master within a week or |
| 9 |
maybe two. As for what I actually got done this week? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- Timezones are now loaded from the zonetab |
| 12 |
- There’s now a CAPTCHA step to the wizard |
| 13 |
- Disk image size caps are now implemented |
| 14 |
- User-configurable options are now in separate configuration files |
| 15 |
(that use defines!) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
CAPTCHA is implemented using reCAPTCHA, but it could use lots of |
| 18 |
improvement. CAPTCHA failures just end the wizard and force you to |
| 19 |
start from scratch right now. Some kind of submission loop until they |
| 20 |
get it right would be better there. That means on this weeks tasks |
| 21 |
list, we have: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- Continue work on keyboard layout support |
| 24 |
- Add expert mode options (FEATURES, USE flags, package USE) |
| 25 |
- Build request rate limiting |
| 26 |
- Look into fixing the shipping kernel configuration (missing |
| 27 |
framebuffer device right now under QEMU) |
| 28 |
- More PHP scrubbing/improvement (filter_flags for a start) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Probably won’t get all this done within the week, but that’s the list |
| 31 |
I’ve got in my head at the moment as to what needs doing. |
| 32 |

Cheers, |
