Hello, |

Current State of Universal Select Tool - uselect |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Proposal link: |
| 6 |
http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/gentoo/t124022356237 |

|

uselect implementation started a few weeks before SoC officially started |
| 9 |
to "de-rust" myself on python programming. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Here follows a checklist of what it already does right now. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* modules syntax defined |
| 14 |
* modules support any scripting language |
| 15 |
* module conversion from eselect to uselect are very easy (even when not |
| 16 |
symlinking) |
| 17 |
* per-user/system-wide actions |
| 18 |
* simple symlinking actions are defined in 1 line only. uselect does all |
| 19 |
the job. |
| 20 |
* changing a user python interpreter through adding ~/.uselect/bin to |
| 21 |
PATH through /etc/profile (is this the better way?) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Next steps: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* look deeper into eselect already implemented functions that most |
| 26 |
modules use (by using inherit) and see what is uselect still lacking |
| 27 |
* define profiling system (nice thread on gentoo-dev on this) |
| 28 |
* start the profile system implementation |
| 29 |
* start using gentoo's git |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Further Notes: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
* At this point I am ahead on schedule because of my early start. With |
| 34 |
this I have plenty of time to implement features that were not described |
| 35 |
on the proposal. |
| 36 |
* Soon I will push the code into gentoo's git. If you have time, take a |
| 37 |
look at it. Hope these reports are taken also as a "call for ideas". |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Hope I'm not lacking any information. I'm loving working with Gentoo on |
| 40 |
this. Learned a lot until now. |

Cheers, |
