Firstly many thanks for your kind and quick reply:) |

Yes, that's what I have in mind. We can already enumerate a list of |
| 11 |
installed libraries along with what jars, jni libs,source code javadoc |
| 12 |
it has. We can also get a list of dependencies of a library as well. |
| 13 |
This is mostly Python code and Portage is also in Python. Jython may |
| 14 |
help you in integration here. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
---------I don't know whether this understanding is correct or not: |
| 17 |
the code that already have for emuerating a list of installed |
| 18 |
libraries(along with other things required) is writen in Python. And I |
| 19 |
can use the result of this code. And Could you expain more detail |
| 20 |
about "Python may help me integration". |
| 21 |
And also, Could you kindly give me an use case of this part of |
| 22 |
job(just like my explain the 2nd part blow), I think it would be very |
| 23 |
helpful to me to catch it more clearly and correctly:) |

I didn't plan this as part of the project. Please explain this in more details. |
| 31 |
----------------------PackageKit is a package management tool that can |
| 32 |
use apt, yum, pcman etc as its back-end.Now I don't know if it can |
| 33 |
use emerge backend and I'll verify it later.This part of job's mainly |
| 34 |
function can be described as the following use case: |
| 35 |
User A is coding in eclipse. He/She typed "import A.B.C.D;",which is a |
| 36 |
class/package in one of the System library but the library has not |
| 37 |
installed on the machine(of course ,portage tree should contains the |
| 38 |
library's ebuilds). Then thanks to the this part of the job, it is |
| 39 |
automactically downloaded and installed. |
| 40 |
I've also don't clear why PackageKit should be used(I think revoking |
| 41 |
emerge is sufficient,though I'm not very sure,and what your opionion |
| 42 |
is?) Since PackageKit is metioned in idealist, so there should be some |
| 43 |
reasons I not know for using it? |
| 44 |
Anyway, I believe addressing this use case letting it doing |
| 45 |
automatically is very meaningful, even PackageKit doesn't been |
| 46 |
used(just invoking emerge). |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
PS. |
| 50 |
According to the idealist page ,I am required to take the action of " |
| 51 |
fix a real bug reported in Bugzilla to show that I can use the tools |
| 52 |
to make a meaningful change" before application and said my contract |
| 53 |
can help me determine which SCM and repository I should use for this. |
| 54 |
Would you mind help that tell me which SCM and repository and guide me |
| 55 |
instrctions to fix a proper bug? |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Thanks a lot. |
