Hi all, This week the main task was to iron out anything that is left in the generator part. As suggested by my mentor I have changed the task of clearing the stale cache(that has icons and screenshots) from rm.py to the generator(i.e generate_metadata.py)
So cache could be cleared by running: >> dak generate-metadata -s <suitename> -C I have added scaling for screenshots so now we have source screenshots and its scaled versions. The lib-appstream part which we plan to start after the SoC that is after 18 Aug, for that I have started looking into the appstream code and started playing around with libyaml. I plan to work with my mentor after the SoC is finished. We were facing some problem with extracting the icon from .deb file because of a bug in pythons apt library. Matthias(my mentor) solved the bug and currently we are waiting whether the corrected version could be used. Before this I was using subprocess.call() which was creating a bottle neck. Apart from this, through out the week I have made several changes to the code[0], for improving performance and readability etc. Next, week I'll try writing one or two blog posts about the work I have done. And also concentrate on further improvements that could be done on the code. [0]https://github.com/abhi11/tanglu-dak Thanks, -- *Abhishek Bhattacharjee* *Pune Institute of Computer Technology*
