Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
== Brief summary of this project == |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
This project is a continuation of last year's project, "Automatically generated |
| 6 |
overlay of R packages". Its aims are extending overlay creation and, more |
| 7 |
importantly, automated overlay maintenance. |
| 8 |
|

For reference, the roverlay git repo can be found at [0], which also provides |
| 10 |
some documentation [1]. |

== Last week's progress == |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* completed SLOT handling. The slot value is configurable now ("take up to |
| 16 |
<N> 'parts' from the calculated version", "use fixed value"). |
| 17 |
* started with validation of selfdeps (=dependencies on packages provided |
| 18 |
by the overlay). The objective here is to eliminate packages ("future |
| 19 |
ebuilds") that depend on uncreatable packages/ebuilds, while differentiating |
| 20 |
between mandatory (=> "ebuild uncreatable") and optional (=> simply drop) |
| 21 |
selfdeps. To achieve this, ebuild creation (for a single package) is paused |
| 22 |
until other packages have been processed, and then resumed. This feature is |
| 23 |
mostly done; documentation is todo. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Misc: |
| 26 |
* added a test suite for dependency resolution |
| 27 |
-> wrote an interface to access dependency resolution (independently of |
| 28 |
overlay creation) |
| 29 |
* added a hook that automatically creates the metadata cache after overlay |
| 30 |
creation (suggested by heroxbd) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
== Plans for this week == |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
* proceed with selfdep validation |
| 36 |
* improve ebuild quality further |
