Hi all
A few days, we started to talk about a front end to portage. I received
some answers (Michael Kohl,Cabec2,etc.).
If someone is interrested, please feel free to join (just tell us HERE -
not my personnal email).
Now we have to define fonctionnalities of this new utility. I propose a
basic select/install/deinstall utility for the first release.
- select a category in the list (dialog menu)
- select a package in selected category (with a flag for installed
packages -> dialog checked box).
Moreover, we need a common repository to start the project. Is there a
place on gentoo cvs ? It would be weird to start this project on sf...
Waiting 4 u !

hi,
there are tools like this allready:
kportage -> qt based
portagemaster -> java based
a conole based portage frontend would be nice...
kind regards

Hm, actually I always considered package managment a rather low priority
for a tool like this or even a tool on it's own.
What I'd love to see is something to replace the clutter of tools
currently present (mirrorselect, ufed, the various -confifgs etc.) for
gentoo specific tasks in on single tool, "Emergency" (my first name
proposal), "gentoo-config" or whatever name we decide on.
Also the task of installing packages in a GUI is already covered by
several projects (for a console version you can use the scripts from
Optilude found on forums.gentoo.org), but something similar to
/stand/sysinstall is not present and besides our talking not in the
planning AFAIK.
So maybe a good point to start would be _new_ functionality like a GUI
for setting various settings in /etc/make.conf (portdir overlay,
features, rsync retries etc.) and then start working on integrating
functionality currently provided by the other tools.
I'm not even sure anymore if I want to see package managment included in
this unified tool, as from my point of view a full featured package
manager is a project worth it's on program. But regarding this I'm open
for argument and other people's opinion.
My 2 cents,
Michael

Yeah, being able to use a tool like this on machines without X or
remotely via SSH etc. is IMHO a must.

In my original proposal I stated the several that a GUI agnostic
approach would be nice. Read: core functionality, plus several frontends
like console (dialog or ncurses), GTK and QT.

And I'd be very interested in participating in the GTK version. I've
never done any useful work for GTK so far, but startet playing around
with the Python GNOME bindings, Glade and stuff like that. Working
together with someone who already has knowledge on this subject
would be a great oppurtunity for me to learn while doing something
useful for the Gentoo community (hopefully).
3 more days until my exams are finished, after that I have more time on
my hands.

It was just in regard to emerge... Other people like it, but
actually I don't care that much about the name.

Don't we already have a mascot in form of Larry the Cow? Maybe we can
come up with something along those lines?

Sure, why not? I just wanted to say that I don't think the package
managment part should be the fist to be tackled.

Sounds like a deal. :)

as Philippe said, i'm quite interested in this project. i'm not really able to do anything concerning coding, since i've almost no experience in serious coding/dev, but i think i can be useful for maintaining/writing docs, hiring cheerleaders, distributing beers, etc.. :)
so if I can participate, i'll be happy to do so ;)

SF is probably not the good place, and gentoo cvs seems to be the best
one, i agree =)

I am very extremely interested in taking part in a project like that. However
I would like to make a suggestion on it: from what I understood from your
previous posts you are using Python + Dialog, which basically means the
console interface for the tool. While this has an undisputable advnatage that
we're 100% sure that everyone can run it we have one problem with it:
Such a tool will not be very friendly to beginner users, espesially those ones
who are just trying Linux for the first time. Most people are used to WIMPY
interface and feel uncomfortable when they have o do anything in console.
My suggestion is to maintain in parlel with your tool another program,
providing the same functonality but build using one of the GUI toolkits, say
GTK or Qt. Cause I have some experience with Qt programming I could mainatin
that part.
Conserning repository, I guess this fits well as a Gentoo hosted project. A?

Not Emergency - please! It sounds as if it's always gonna crash and you need
to call emergensy service. I've got another proposal: Gremlin? It has G - for
gentoo. In the end of the day we have "Konqui the dragon" for KDE, Demon, for
BSD. Why not Gremlin for gentoo?

Probably we should go other way round? First integrate what is already done
and then add new things. This way we'll make sure we're not just gonna add
one more tool, but really integrate existing ones.

I feel that package management has to be in such tool, though not nesesarily
in first versions.

Why? For Historical reasons <G> the unix way is individual tools that do
the job well, not a monolithic swiss knife type of tool (ala Windows way).
Seriously, I'd hate to have to use a tool that combines mirrorselect, ufed,
etc-update, rc-update, and everything else. If it's GUI I'd be lost in a
maze of menus and tabs. And it would have to be able to be run from the
command line since not all systems have X - then you'd have a billion
options to remember which would be impossible.
The Unix/Linux tool for the job works well - very well. I've had my fill
on managing systems (Windows) with the "one giant tool for all jobs"
approach. Obvioiusly, we don't have to use this tool but n short I feel we
the effort is better spent elsewhere. I started out using this kind of tool
(Webmin, etc.) on Caldera and RH and then gave up as I found they really
didn't do the job. In addition by digging into the command line I really
learned Gentoo/Linux.

i'm working on one currently called "iportage"
check out iportage.sf.net
i have a ui designed currently and i'm using wxpython to maintain
consistancy with portage's language of choice -
what's nice about wxpython is that it's a cross platform binding so for
the gentoo-osx/darwin/linux crowd it'd be great [i/we'd only have to
maintain one code base]
tell me what you think. i'm going to post a screen shot of my working demo
tonight on the iportage site.

hmmm you didn't understand the projet. It aims at create a FRONT END to these tools,
not replace existing ones. Moreover, the tool is dialog based, so you won't need X.

Nothing against the UNIX way, I also like it, but just because something
is old and in use for a while doesn't mean it's perfect or the only way
of doing things. I'll bet there are people who'd like to have the swiss
army knife type of program (e..g. FreeBSD converts used to
/stand/sysinstall), that's why the real ones sell pretty good. ;)

None of us is a official Gentoo developer and we all like this project.
I can't see why this effort should be spent elsewhere.

And that was the same for me while still using Debian. The point of this
tool is not to replace anything currently present completely, nor is it
an attempt to "dummify" Gentoo Linux. But for somebody new to the
distribution it may not be obvious what all of the currently present
tools do. A unified tool capable of configuring many ascpects of a
Gentoo system could help here.

Totally agree. I use gentoo for a while, and still don't know all the tools.
Is there a list of them with their description (functions) ?

Nice work ! Maybe iportage.sf.net can host this new project (which would
run well on OS X, since it is python based) ??

We need a common repository to let this project start !
Should we open a new project on sf, or use gentoo cvs, or use iportage cvs ?
