[gentoo-soc] Framework for automated ebuild generators: weekly report #8

[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 #6
~~~~~~~

Status: behind the schedule.

I worked on PyPI this week. I've written a database generation tool. At
the moment there is a problem with memory leak (it seems
dev-python/beautifulsoup causes it).

I've found two possible solutions:
- use decompose function (that remove circular references problem) on
exit from function
- use other HTML-parsing library )

I'm testing the first one now.

Plans:

- paludis integration is still actual
- PyPI (the priority task at the moment)
- better configuration and more CLI options
- choose the next 3rd party software provider for which I'll implement
backend (any suggestions are appreciated. Say, what do you need ;-) )
