[gentoo-soc] pomu weekly report for week #5

[Mykyta Holubakha]

This is the (delayed) weekly report for the week of 16-02.07.

It was mostly an uneventful week, which I've spent on polishing pomu.
I've ensured that all the backends work, unit tests pass, etc. (pomu
is in usable state). Another focus was on writing the documentation. I
wrote the README for repo accessibility, the wiki page (see
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Hummer12007/pomu for more details)
which provides a detailed description of the design so far, and the
manpage. Additionally, I've ensured I'm sticking to the timeline. I've
passed the first evaluation as well.

I've had a few chats with my mentor this week as well. We ensured the
proper progress.

Plans for the coming week:
1) Importing patches.
2) Tracking user-made changes.
3) Updating packages from portage.
4) Merging upstream and user changes on updates.
5) Old version/package removal.
