Hi Guys.
At first I want to apologize for sent both reports together, but as I explained to the coordination I was getting married and that was driving me crazy... (Now I'm married and everything is fine again). Sorry for the delay. This won't happen again ############ Week 8 - Report 5 In this week we discussed about how the automated bootstrap tool is going to work. I started with a draft shell script of the tool [0]. I'm going to summarize the main conclusions of our discussion: 1) The automated bootstrap tool should be write on perl or python due to its complexity. Since I didn't know perl I learned it during the week 2) The automated bootstrap tool should be able to run in two modes: one using the output list of botch to know what crossbuild and one that just looks at what is out of date (source newer than binaries) in the repository. 3) The build packages list should come from the repository. Access to the repository should be over http, so it can be moved to a shared server easily, and it works inside chroots. It should use wget to get the packages file locally for botch to use. The host packages list should be got from the repo- sitory (if we want to know what can be done in an exactly moment) or from a conversion of the build package list (if we want to determine the full build order.) 4) The automated bootstrao tool should be non-interactive 5) An auxiliar script to automatically add the "Multi-Arch: foreign" field when requested is desirable. This script should get the sources, add the Multi-Arch: foreign field (or warning if an multi-arch field is already present), build the new sources, upload it to the new repository and generate a patch using debdiff. ############ Week 9 - Report 6 In this Week I got married (specifically on July, 20th). In the rest of the week I was in an academic congress presenting a paper and in my honeymoon with my wife. So I just had time to work on the GSoC on thursday. I worked on the auxiliar script to automatically add the "Multi-Arch: foreign" field. I also learned more about perl and the modules to help working with debian packages. Cheers, Gustavo Alkmim
