[gentoo-soc] R_Overlay: Automated overlay maintenance - progress report #12

[André Erdmann]

Hi everyone,

== Brief summary of this project ==

This project is a continuation of last year's project, "Automatically
generated overlay of R packages". Its aims are extending overlay
creation and, more importantly, automated overlay maintenance.

For reference, the roverlay git repo can be found at [0], which also
provides some documentation [1].


== progress from Sep 5 to Sep 16 ==

* a lot of minor changes/fixes, e.g.
-> a hook for pushing the overlay to a git repo (after overlay creation)
-> cleanup of roverlay's ebuild
-> write stats to a simple file
-> add LICENSE variables via package rules

* wrote roverlay-setup, a script which is able to configure and set up
roverlay. It also offers rudimentary support for managing hooks (which
is going to be extended).


== Plans for this week ==

* add "managing hooks" to roverlay-setup
* feature consolidation, code/doc fixup/cleanup

Dear André,

Very impressive, I am a regular user of roverlay now.

Denis, I see bugs here and there, like the infamous
upstream-sliently-changes-tarball, I would like to apply to co-maintain the
roverlay if feasible. I am using R in my daily work, and I expect quick
fixes would benefit both myself and general users.

Cheers,
Benda
