Eek! That's an awful hack. That's not how code looks like I want to maintain. |
| 8 |
E.g. the 'package Gentoo::CPAN::FakeFrontend' part. |

I think I don't like spinners but I'm actually not really sure about that one. |
| 13 |
Spinners just cause the process to take longer than it would take anyways |
| 14 |
without a spinner. (I'm pretty much against everything these days so don't |
| 15 |
take me too seroius on this one. ;)) Nevertheless I put that in a module |
| 16 |
called Gentoo::Portage::UI::Spinner so it can be reused this way e.g.: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
my $spinner=Gentoo::Portage::UI::Spinner->new(); |
| 19 |
for (my $i=0;$i<5;$i++) |
| 20 |
{ |
| 21 |
$spinner->spin(); |
| 22 |
sleep(1); |
| 23 |
} |
| 24 |
$spinner->reset(); |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Yeah.. overhead.. but reusable and more easy to read. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Anyways. The whole Gentoo::Portage stuff needs to be ripped out (of g-cpan, |
| 29 |
up2date-ng, mgtool, demerge, perl-info and some of my other endless and |
| 30 |
nameless tools/hacks) and put together nicely in a neat and slick module. I'm |
| 31 |
currently working on it. - Ok, ok.. I'm short of time but anyways.. - If it's |
| 32 |
all set and done I'll commit it to our gentoo-perl svn, so that we can work |
| 33 |
on it together. One thing I'd like to see established until then is one |
| 34 |
documented and persistent coding style. Furthermore all functions/code should |
| 35 |
be documented and a complete api-documentation about Gentoo::Portage should |
| 36 |
be available. We need a todo-list, a feature-list and a roadmap. - Big |
| 37 |
words.. ;) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I'm pretty serious about it. The reason I'm writing this is that I don't want |
| 40 |
to have it turning into another big and ugly hack. I want a clean and well |
| 41 |
documented api to access and manipulate portage using perl that all our |
| 42 |
little tools can use. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
For now I'm asking you not to commit anything until I've got that |
| 45 |
Gentoo::Portage thing ready. - BUT please don't stop hacking on it and coming |
| 46 |
up with ideas and stuff. :) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I just want to ensure that all our efforts go in the same direction. |
