|
| 10 |
*Objective* |
| 11 |
Kuroo is a KDE GUI frontend for software management in Gentoo. From the |
| 12 |
screenshot and experience of Kuroo uers, it is very convient to use. But the |
| 13 |
latest version is 0.81.0_rc1, updated in 2007. And the offical offsite |
| 14 |
http://kuroo.org is no longer accessble. The objective of this project is to |
| 15 |
revise the source code to satisfy the current portage tree structure. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
*Abstract* |
| 18 |
Gentoo is Linux distribution. It almost automatically makes software |
| 19 |
optimized and customized. It could be served as secure server, development |
| 20 |
workstation, desktop, embedded system. And it benifits from Gentoo's package |
| 21 |
system called Portage. Portage is managed by a Python script emerge, which |
| 22 |
can be used by users to install or uninstall software. Kuroo is a GUI |
| 23 |
frontend for managing software written in C++ based on QT and KDE. It |
| 24 |
provides additional features like filter mechanism such as category and |
| 25 |
subcategory, accessing to specific version and USE flag. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
*Deliverables* |
| 28 |
Revised source code (including the modification annotation) |
| 29 |
Document (including main modification ideas and it's implementation) |
| 30 |
Version Support (tracking the new version of gentoo) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
*Timeline* |
| 33 |
4.20 - 4.30: Get to know mentors and fully understand the orignal specific |
| 34 |
design ideas. |
| 35 |
5.1 - 5.10: Dive into the details of Kuroo source code, try to figure out |
| 36 |
the relative part |
| 37 |
5.11 - 5.23: Give the specific modification document |
| 38 |
5.24 - 6.14: Do the coding |
| 39 |
6.15 - 7.15: Test the modification in several circumstance and revise the |
| 40 |

*Biography* |
| 44 |
I am graduate student from Beijing University of Posts and |
| 45 |
Telecommunications (BUPT). Before I came to BUPT, I worked for 2 yeas in a |
| 46 |
computer company in the area of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which is |
| 47 |
developed in C++. I also developed plugins in Python. As for Kuroo, I |
| 48 |
install Gentoo on my notebook and use portage everyday, which motivate me to |
| 49 |
develop a tool to manage my system by myself. |
