Hey, I hope everyone is having a great time of day!

My name is Stepan, it's nice to meet you!
I'm working on Automated Gentoo system update project this year.
Project repository: https://github.com/Lab-Brat/gentoo_update

*Here what I have done during week 1:*
The most basic version of the updater program is ready.
By default it only installs security patches from GLSA using
glsa-check, but it also allows users to update @world
with their custom update flags. Additionally, after an update
users can choose to:

   - merge changed configuration files
   - restart updated services
   - do a post-update clean up
   - read elogs
   - read news

After an update a log file is created in
/var/log/gentoo_update/log_$timestamp.
This file will be used at later stages for parsing and notification
sending.

I also attached a small test suite to the repository (in 'tests'
directory).
At this stage it's just a Docker compose file with some custom stage3
containers where I manually run the code, but I'm planning to expand
and automate it.


*My plans for week 2:*
During the second week I plan to fix all issues with packaging and
create an ebuild.

When everything will be packaged correctly I plan to do some
minor fixes and do more tests, and ideally by the end of the week
write a blog post on Gentoo forums announcing my project. It would
be nice to receive feedback from the community early as possible.


Sincerely yours,
Kulikov Stepan
