[gentoo-soc] Framework for automated ebuild generators: weekly report #2

[Jauhien Piatlicki]

Hi all,

summary
~~~~~~~

I'm working on `Framework for automated ebuild generators'[1]. My mentor
is Rafael Martins. The aim of this project is to facilitate creation of
ebuild-generators for 3d party software providers. For those interested
in the advance of a project there is a Kanban board [2] and a
git-repository with code [3].

week #2
~~~~~~~

Status: on schedule

Implemented:

- metadata generation
- backend configuration

Plans for the next week:
- backend for ELPA
- generation of ebuilds in a given overlay and installation
- py2 compatibility
- document code

This week I'm planning to begin implementing of a backend for a real
repository to see how functional is a developed base backend class.

There should be three possibilities in the future: generation of a few
given ebuilds, generation of an entire overlay for the user-side,
generation of an entire overlay for a server-side.
