I am thinking about making user interface for portage. I see the possibility to browse portage tree, turning different filters on and off, as it's most important feature. I dont think that it should contai= n any functions for updating, emerging or unmerging or syncing at it's beginning, as i think that i havent used portage long enough to make a clea= r design of such a tool. Anyway, package browser would be usable for me as a new user of portage. I describe shortly, what i see as it's functionality: * General UI, which looks like a classical e-mail client with folder-list o= n left panel, mail-list on top and one e-mail on bottom. Additionally, top an= d bottom panel should be together in right panel. * Left panel contains 2 main folders -- one is to access folders in /usr/portage/, another contains keywords like kdebase-meta (or kde-base) -- which has packages like kdegraphics-meta inside it (click +). This other tree should be hand-made tree + "others" folder, last containing all packag= e groups, which are not included in this tree. At least, i think that automation may not be possible -- it depends on structure, which i dont know. * Right panel, which contains tabs -- first tab is for top/bottom panels, other are web browsers (konqueror). * Top panel contains package list like detailed view of folders * Botton panel contains details -- also button for opening www-address of package in new tab. + there should be search feature. + some special folders should be added: --update world, which contains all outdated packages jpc. As it would be slow, portage or this UI should be cache such things and clean this cache when --sync happens. It is possible that integration into Konqueror could be simple and usable (like portage:/ protocol). In future, additional features like tray-icon for autosync and notifications, also adding packages to world and removing, could be considered; code should be build in such way that is would be possible to add them later in different ways. -- tvali (e-mail: "qtvali@gmail.com"; msn: "qtvali@gmail.com"; icq: "317-492-912") =DChe eesti internetifirma lehel kohtasin tsitaati: If you don't do it excellently, dont do it at all.
