This is the weekly report for the week of 03-09.07. |

While it has been cut off a bit earlier than I planned, it's |
| 4 |
nonetheless been a very fruitful week. It has been marked by the work |
| 5 |
on project foundations: support for patching ebuilds (adding/merging |
| 6 |
patches, inferring them from user-name changes etc.). While I wasn't |
| 7 |
able to complete it (or even complete as much as I've planned) as |
| 8 |
careful consideration made me discover a lot of tricky nuances, which |
| 9 |
require very thorough planning and a coherent design (hidden design |
| 10 |
issues cause a lot of problems later on). I've implemented adding |
| 11 |
patches to packages in the repository. Additionally, I've been working |
| 12 |
on integrating user-made changes (of which there are several types |
| 13 |
which should be treated differently). All this is just a few first |
| 14 |
steps for one of the project's milestones: updating/integrating |
| 15 |
changes/etc... for the packages of different sources (some more steps |
| 16 |
are to be reached before this is completed) (some details on the |
| 17 |
aformentioned can be found in the wiki). |

As always, the few conversations I had with my mentor helped me feel |
| 20 |
sure that I'm on track, and my ideas are sound. |

Plans for the coming week: |
| 23 |
1) a new backend: fetch packages from URLs |
| 24 |
2) write a utility library/helper to fetch plaintexts from various |
| 25 |
pastebin services (some services do not trivially allow that, |
| 26 |
unfortunately) |
| 27 |
3) continue the work on patching/changes integration |
| 28 |
4) assess the feedback received earlier |
