Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
== Brief summary of this project == |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
This project is a continuation of last year's project, "Automatically |
| 6 |
generated overlay of R packages". |
| 7 |
Its aims are extending overlay creation and, more importantly, |
| 8 |
automated overlay maintenance. |

For reference, the roverlay git repo can be found at [0]. |

== Last week's progress == |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I've started with the first section of my timeline, which is about |
| 16 |
extending roverlay. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
What's been done so far: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* the "relocate" feature, a package's category, (ebuild) name and |
| 21 |
(local) src file ("->" in SRC_URI) can now be manipulated via package |
| 22 |
rules. Using regexes allows to control more than one package with a |
| 23 |
single rule. This feature is complete and already documented (in |
| 24 |
doc/rst/usage.rst). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* the "additions dir", which is a directory with overlay-like |
| 27 |
structure that contains extra files like |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
-> ebuild patches, either version-specific |
| 30 |
(${CATEGORY}/${PN}/${PF}.patch) or "default" ones that apply to all |
| 31 |
versions (${CATEGORY}/${PN}/${PN}.patch) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
-> hand-written ebuilds, that should be imported into the overlay |
| 34 |
(feature not complete yet) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
According to my timeline, I plan to get 3 features done until June 16, |
| 37 |
"relocate" (done), "modify ebuild variables" (todo) and "patch |
| 38 |
ebuilds" (done, but doc todo), so I'd say that I'm on schedule. |
| 39 |
|

|
| 41 |
== Plans for this week == |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
* complete the "additions dir" todos listed above |
| 44 |
* implement "modify ebuild variables" |
