I think web-based search would be interesting and would be helped by a better browsing interface. (Some progress in search is dependent on making progress on the tag/attribute discussion.) I have a preliminary changeset that provides an Atom feed of the catalog updates that would be nice to see finished. I'd like to see work on the intent and statistics side, too. Dan and I were kicking around how we might use either a templating system, like http://www.makotemplates.org/ or even one of the lighter frameworks, like http://www.cherrypy.org/ to make it easier to flesh out pkg.depotd's reporting capabilities. It might be interesting to examine package publication via a web form, but that's contingent on work on pkgsend(1) itself, probably the initial SSL support Krister and I are wrapping up, possibly the challenge-response protocol I outlined in an earlier thread, and examination of how to provide per-package and per-operation authorization. I'm less keen on a full-blown administrative web interface at this time, but maybe I'm missing something. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
