#### Project progress #### |
| 19 |
The first part of the project is a sub-project called pkg_digester. It is |
| 20 |
a Python script/module. The purpose of that script is to iterate through |
| 21 |
a pickled file containing pkgcore-checks objects, and to stuff that QA |
| 22 |
data in a database in a reasonable (formatted) manner. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The script now works for outputting the data in the pkgcore-checks |
| 25 |
objects to stdout nicely formatted. In essence, the script now iterates |
| 26 |
through the pickle stream and grabs "relevant" data, formats it to good- |
| 27 |
looking strings, creates a small dictionary of all the strings for the |
| 28 |
object, and prints it to stdout. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
By the end of this iteration (week) I expect the script to be able to |
| 31 |
connect to a database (first develop with SQLite and then plug in MySQL) |
| 32 |
and to stuff it full of data. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
With the next iteration I will start working on the Django project, and |
| 36 |
the first task will be to make Django aware of the existing database, and |
| 37 |
to make them play nice with eachother. |
| 38 |

#### Evaluation(self) #### |
| 41 |
It is my opinion that it has taken too long to complete this script. |
| 42 |
Solution: code more. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
However, I feel that there is not a lot left to code on the script, which |
| 45 |
was the thing I was worried most about regarding the whole project. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
The journal-keeping and task-listing has been sub-optimal. Expect |
| 48 |
improvements. |
