Good day devs and users: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
A couple of months ago I shared with you a similar email about my personal |
| 4 |
project. I'm very glad to say that I'm about to release the 'beta' in a couple |
| 5 |
of weeks. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This beta version adds new stuff like: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
-experimental TUI interface: Right now it's only designed to enable a user to |
| 10 |
launch the installer from any specific point from installation (selecting a step |
| 11 |
from 11 different options). But it is easily scalable to add new windows and |
| 12 |
steps into the TUI. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
-internationalization support: Right now installer works on English and |
| 15 |
Spanish, it would be awesome if any dev with experience in German (Mein Deutsch |
| 16 |
ist sehr verschlechtert und ich brauche viel Übung), or any other language that |
| 17 |
you consider would be good to have in the installer. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
-installer now installs itself inside the new Gentoo system to avoid manual |
| 20 |
installation inside the new Gentoo system. (Thanks to NP_Hardass for the idea) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Still on the TODO list: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
-next step will be to create an ebuild for installer, I may need some help |
| 25 |
there but it should be pretty simple. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
-still some validations: installer error messages are quite hard to understand |
| 28 |
if you are installing Gentoo for the first time (my fault), so I'll be working |
| 29 |
on better error messages. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
-Ask if there is a way to add installer in the liveUSB so that people don't |
| 32 |
need to install it manually in order to begin a Gentoo installation. |
| 33 |

As last time, you can see the repo here: |

Hope you have a great weekend, |
