Intro
Note: mostly raw unfiltered thoughts, please contact me before acting upon them.
M1 (Dev Complete May 23)
Features
- #770 "Add mechanism to enable UI's to request extra data be stored in the cache" http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770 (Liping/Lianhao) - WIP Liping working on a patch set
Add mechanism to enable selection of server back-end at runtime, rather than it being hard-coded. Furthermore a UI should be able to specify which server it wants to run against (Liping/Lianhao)Distro selector dropdownas per MACHINE dropdown, partially implemented
Build development toolchain checkboxadd meta-toolchain to task list
Toolchain host combolike MACHINE, set SDKMACHINE from possible files in machine-sdk, partially implemented?
- Include development headers with toolchain (easy/medium)
- add dev-pkgs to IMAGE_FEATURES?
Spinner to set BB_NUMBER_THREADSSpinner to set PARALLEL_MAKE- Save/load previous configuration
- save will create a .bb file from which the created image can be reproduced
- load will parse a bb file and set up the gui
Config write back - WIP partial implementation of Configurator gobject- When the user changes values that could be set in local.conf offer to write those values to save the user from having to change those again in future
A search box which does basic find in the currently selected treeview's model (gtk.TreeView.set_search_entry)- Could do with a custom gtk.TreeView.set_search_equal_func()
M2 (Dev Complete Jul 4)
Features
- Optimise, we could probably be faster than ~30s on Single core (dual thread) Core 2 Duo @ 1.8GHz
- PyGtk bindings support a more simple value setting syntax, the following snippet will set the third row's values:
model[(2,)] = ('new string value', 'string 2')
Therefore we can optimise insertion of the data into the tree model by ensuring the data comes back as a list (one entry per row) of tuples containing appropriate values for each column.
- PyGtk bindings support a more simple value setting syntax, the following snippet will set the third row's values:
- Package format dropdown
- cooker able to determine classes which are appropriate values for the PACKAGE_CLASSES variable
- wrap with command
- hook up to hob
- Image output type dropdown check with team & RP whether setting this variable makes sense? Nothing in local.conf sets this variable or similar.
- cooker able to determine all possible values for IMAGE_FSTYPES
- wrap with command
- hook up to hob
- Fix sorting in Packages treeview. Sorting by group would be enabled here.
- Enable changing sort order in tree views (A-Z | Z-A | ??) by clicking column header
- Show some notification when doing long-running operations i.e. toggle a package with many DEPENDS and the UI blocks without feedback
- Bitbake reports "ERROR: Nothing to do. Use 'bitbake world' to build everything, or run 'bitbake --help' for usage information." when exiting hob, need to allow UI's to configure whether this message is relevant or not
- When cancelling a build, confirm before killing
Enable/Disable layers - use configuration writeback support for local.conf changes to also edit/save bblayers.conf changes- Properly reload the data when the layers are modified
Bugs
- Fix reset/build again
- This is caused by the cooker/server exiting on build completion. Need to enable the UI to request the server doesn't terminate until it receives a signal of some sort.
- We need to be able to switch from a stopped/completed build back to
the image creation mode.
- Fix removing *all* packages in sweep
Future (Unplanned Extra features - schedule at next map day)
- Tell the user where the created image is on disk (as a medium term enhancement also allow opening the containing folder, long term allow writing the image to some media)
- Show contents of images & tasks (per community feedback) http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991
- Show more information for selected package (per community feedback) http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992
- add context menus to build view
- view logs
- show log directory
- view log for task
- copy log
- paste bin log
- add context menus to package view
- "Rebuild-from" with a submenu for each task of the build; fetch, unpack, compile, etc.
- hobhandler as a proxy to the server has a code smell
- Investigate/verify using the image creator with sstate mirrors (should just work!)
- Add GUI to set sstate mirror variable
- "Overlay" files, extra files to be installed into the rootfs at image generation time
- Custom ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND
- Display and change IMAGE_FEATURES
- Consider a name change, David suggested 'Yocto HOB (Human Oriented Builder)'
- Consider allowing dragging a package from the list to the contents area
- Warn when removing the core layers
