I will soon be uploading the code +(been using my own svn repo up till now), and it would be good to start +with the name it will stick with. Should the name relate to Mageia?, or +should it be more generic? + +2/ What languages should be available for writing modules? (Perl, C++, +python and Ruby are possibilities) + + So far mcc2 has been written in Perl (even though I had never +written a line of Perl prior to starting this) so as to make porting +existing modules a matter of just replacing the Ui calls, but I do like +the idea of allowing the modules to be written in more than 1 language +to encourage more contributors who may be turned off by having to learn +another language. +Sticking with Perl will make mcc2 core easier, so I may do that +initially regardless. What do you all think?? Is sticking with 1 +language preferred even if it means less contributors, or is the goal to +attract as many module developers as possible? + +3/ What should the license be? + I would be happy to make it GPL V3, but is there any argument +for something different ? + +4/ As an official Mageia project, do I need to sign the copyright over +to Mageia ?? + I am more than happy to do so, I would only ask that I get +noted somewhere as the developer, hopefully others will join the +developer list as well. + + +Just to give you an idea of where my code is at ...... + +It is still in early stages, with I would guess about 400 - 500 lines of +code. +It works across ncurses, gtk and qt with a consistent interface, however +there seems to be a bug in the libyui-qt libriaries which Angelo and +Matteo will be looking into (Big thank you to those guys for packaging +the libyui libraries and helping out when I have questions). It reads +all the Category and Module information from a config file then +generates a menu of the categories and alters the view of modules +depending on which category is selected (think of the existing mcc, but +much uglier). I have written and launched a test module, however I did +not like the way I did it, so have scrapped that and will come back to +it next week. + +I have little time to work on this for the next 6 weeks, but I hope to +have the core system complete, or near to complete when Santa visits, +though porting (and adding new) modules will be the bigger task. + +Cheers + +Tuxta + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="019027.html">[Mageia-dev] [changelog] [RPM] cauldron core/release qgit-2.5-1.mga3 +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="019030.html">[Mageia-dev] The shiny new Control Center +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#19028">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#19028">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#19028">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#19028">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
