Ventoo progress report #3. |

This week I wrote ebuilds and stabilized my project. |
| 4 |
Turns out there were a lot of problems with paths (path variables in my |
| 5 |
project) when I installed my project with an ebuild into the proper |
| 6 |
parts of a unix system. It took me a couple of days to fix the paths |
| 7 |
then make everything stable again. It also took me 3 days to learn how |
| 8 |
to write python ebuild as well as write python setup.py scripts. That |
| 9 |
pretty much accounted for my whole week this week. (minus weekends). |

I'm happy to say however, that my project is completely ready to be |
| 12 |
installed on gentoo system, since I got the install process working |
| 13 |
perfectly, as far as I can tell. Next week I'm going to rewrite some |
| 14 |
internal code that I'm not completely happy with. There are a few bugs, |
| 15 |
but fixing them would be putting hacks on top of hacks. Better to redo |
| 16 |
it now that I know exactly where the challenges lie and I've thought |
| 17 |
about it all summer as I was coding. Once that is done I'll upload the |
| 18 |
ebuild and call for testers. I was going to distribute my project now, |
| 19 |
but I think it's best to make the aforementioned code stable to avoid |
| 20 |
the slew of bug reports that I already know about. |
