[gentoo-user-el] Gentoo GSoC 2011

[Theo Chatzimichos]

Θέλω να ετοιμάσουμε ένα άρθρο για τα projects του Gentoo για το GSoC 2011. 
Παρακάτω υπάρχει μια λίστα με αυτά, με όνομα student, όνομα mentor, μικρή 
περιγραφή και link. Σκοπός είναι να μεταφράσουμε τις περιγραφές και να το 
ανεβάσουμε στο site αύριο. Οπότε αν κανείς ενδιαφέρεται, μπορεί να μεταφράσει 
κάποιο κομμάτι και να στείλει τη μετάφραση εδώ στη λίστα. Η μετάφραση δεν 
χρειάζεται να είναι απόλυτη, απλά να βγαίνει νόημα.

libbash runtime
    Student: Mu Qiao
    Mentors: Petteri Räty
    Description:
Libbash will enable programs to use Abstract Syntax Trees(AST) to parse
and interpret shell scripts directly instead of using regular
expressions. Most of bash 3.2 syntax will be supported. This will be a
great benefit to programs both outside and inside Gentoo, including
Portage/Paludis and repoman

Client-server model for reporting and querying package statistics
    Student: Vikraman Choudhury
    Mentors: Alec Warner, Chris Harvey
    Description:
This project aims to implement a client program to gather package
information from gentoo hosts and submit them to a server, which will

Gentoo/Java IDE Integration
    Student: Kyle Pan
    Mentors: Serkan Kaba
    Description:
The project includes an improvement to current java-config and a new 
eclipse-plugin. The plug-in, which when clicked, lists system installed 
java libraries for users to select and import into projects. This avoids 
user manually browses and locates system installed libraries, making 
developing more efficient and comfortable. The existing tool 
java-config, with some necessary improvements, is chosen as the data 
retrieval backend of this project. Jython is used to integrate 
java-config to the plug-in.This project will mainly benefit developers 
using eclipse, and due to planned work on improvements to java-config, 
it will benefit java-config project and even non-developer gentoo users 
as well.

Django CMS replacement for the www.gentoo.org website
    Student: Theo Chatzimichos
    Mentors: Matthew Summers, Robin Johnson
    Description:
a replacement for the gentoo.org web pages, that include the documentation, 
project, news and other informational pages, via a Django CMS. Additional 
Django/Python plugins will be used, e.g. for LDAP integration. The Beacon 
editor, a former GSOC project, will also be adapted to the project as a 
WYSIWYG editor for the Gentoo-specific XML schemas. Various features that will 
improve the documentation handling are going to be implemented.

Apache Maven Integration for Gentoo EBuilds
    Student: Kasun Gajasinghe
    Mentors: Mathieu Le Marec - Pasquet, Serkan Kaba
    Description:
This project enables the ability to natively use Apache Maven in Java packages 
in the main tree. With this, packagers who use Apache Maven as the project 
management tool gain the ability to write Ebuilds easily and it will provide 
the complete support for the existing maven-to-ant feature.

Distfile patching support
    Student: Rafael Goncalves Martins
    Mentors: Robin Johnson, Denis Dupeyron
    Description:
Improve the performance of the Gentoo Linux mirrors by reducing the overall 
bandwidth load, allowing people to fetch binary patches from the mirrors,

Rework Porthole to use the portage API
    Student: Detlev Casanova
    Mentors: Brian Dolbec
    Description:
Currently, Portage GUI's have to run the emerge script to do almost all 
portage functionalities. The goals of this project are to finish the still-
young new portage python API so that it can be used by those GUI's and port 
porthole to use it It will be an API that won't change every now an then. This 
will improve applications performance and won't rely on the current sometimes-
changing-emerge terminal output

Auto dependency builder
    Student: Alexander Bersenev
    Mentors: Marien Zwart
    Description:
Gentoo has ~15 000 packages only in official tree. Almost each package has a

checking a fullness of existing lists. This tool will be useful for developers 
of packages and will enable them to make user's experience better.
