Okay, I haven't sent a weekly report in a while now, because of some absence. |

Last report, I promised I'd work on external dependencies and g-common |
4 |
(remember, g-common is the tool that will handle non-ebuild |
5 |
repositories in a transparent way). Well, what can I say, I did. |
6 |
External dependencies were implemented using a big list of |
7 |
hand-written regexes (ah yes, it's a bit of a hack, but it'll work for |
8 |
most CRAN packages. bioconductor doesn't give us external dependency |
9 |
data at all, unfortunately), and g-common is in a usable state. As far |
10 |
as I'm concerned, what's left is: |
11 |
-enabling g-common to output real ebuilds with proper formatting |
12 |
instead of writing symlinks. this seems to be a feature that may be |
13 |
used later by some overlay teams. this has no priority, but I think |
14 |
it'd make g-common a very useful tool |
15 |
-proper metadata output for g-common, where possible with help from |
16 |
the repo drivers |
17 |
-move common.ebuild code around a bit (nothing substantial) |
18 |
-writing a layman driver for g-common (this is necessary for ) |
19 |
-documentation (!) |
20 |
This basically means that the true g-cran driver is basically done |
21 |
now, and the rest is just making it usable. |

To make up for last report's size, I'll hereby end this report. Should |
24 |
you have any questions or concerns, I'll be in #gentoo-soc as always |
25 |
(nick: tulcod), or you can email me. |
