Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This week the following progress has been made to layman: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
1.) Changes to documentation and dictionary logic: |
| 6 |
- Small changes have been made to improve the structure |
| 7 |
of layman's man page. |
| 8 |
- Small changes have been made to improve the logic that |
| 9 |
layman uses to check if a key exists in a dictionary. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
2.) Prepared for a RC: |
| 12 |
- The layman-9999 ebuild has been updated to handle the |
| 13 |
changes I've made so far and will eventually be used as |
| 14 |
the ebuild for a new RC of layman. Testers and feedback |
| 15 |
welcome and hoped for. |
| 16 |
3.) layman portage sync module: |
| 17 |
- A portage sync module is in the works, it still needs some |
| 18 |
work but it runs by two methods: |
| 19 |
1.) subprocess calling of layman. |
| 20 |
2.) Uses layman's API to perform the actions. |
| 21 |
This feature still needs work and will be worked on throughout |
| 22 |
this week. |
| 23 |
4.) Overlay definition generator: |
| 24 |
- This script will assist users in creating layman overlay.xml |
| 25 |
files. Although working, the code behind it can be improved |
| 26 |
greatly and will be throughout the upcoming week. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Goals for next week: |
| 29 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 30 |

| 32 |
