This is my first weekly status report, so I'll introduce my project a |
| 2 |
little. I'm building a web-based application in PHP (with MySQL) that |
| 3 |
will allow the user to build a customized image of a linux |
| 4 |
installation. The intent is to support various different |
| 5 |
architectures/profiles, using the binary packages currently found on |
| 6 |
tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org. Users should be able to produce tarballs |
| 7 |
or, I hope, ISO images, etc. |
| 8 |

Also, I'd like to note before I get down to the status part, that if |
| 10 |
anyone would like to volunteer to do some web or graphic design for |
| 11 |
the project, whoever ends up using it (or their eyes) will probably |
| 12 |
thank you. I'm a much better web programmer than designer. |

As of now, I've made local copies of three different package sets to |
| 15 |
work with, default-linux/amd64, hardened/x86, and embedded/beagle. |
| 16 |
I'm working with solar to get some more packages added to tinderbox so |
| 17 |
I can test things more completely, but as of now my backend can |
| 18 |
generate a complete target environment for any of the above profiles |
| 19 |
and attempt to emerge system (the only one where enough binpkgs are |
| 20 |
available to actually complete this is the amd64). The backend polls |
| 21 |
the database for requested builds and builds them as requested, |
| 22 |
sending detailed logs back to the database. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The frontend is coming along nicely, currently featuring user login, |
| 25 |
build request (as of now just choosing a name and selecting the |
| 26 |
profile), and log viewer. |

All comments, questions, suggestions, etc. are welcome. |
