| | == Unplanned extra features - schedule at next map day == |
| | | * (Re-)Enable removal of packages http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450 |
| [[File:image-creator-proto.png]]
| |
| | |
| == M1 (Dev Complete May 23) == | |
| === Bugs ===
| |
| * Progress bar sits at 0% when using GUI's with none server http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=868 | |
| ** May be irrelevant if switching to process.py server in upstream BitBake
| |
| ** How does the image creator perform with multiprocessing. Is the ability to request a server from the UI still useful?
| |
| ** If switching to upstream BitBake we'll need to ensure xmlrpc is pulled back in
| |
| * 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.
| |
| * Do sane fallback on images and include extra packages in IMAGE_INSTALL
| |
| | |
| === Investigation ===
| |
| * Investigate oetypes for listing configuration variables and suggesting appropriate values
| |
| ** lib/oe/types.py and typecheck.bbclass
| |
| ** Talk to Jeff P re: his requirements
| |
| ** Likely should be a separate configuration GUI per discussion with Darren
| |
| === 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''
| |
| * <del>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)</del>
| |
| * <del>Distro selector dropdown</del>
| |
| ** <del>as per MACHINE dropdown, partially implemented</del>
| |
| * <del>Build development toolchain checkbox</del>
| |
| ** <del>add meta-toolchain to task list</del>
| |
| * <del>Toolchain host combo</del>
| |
| ** <del>like MACHINE, set SDKMACHINE from possible files in machine-sdk, partially implemented?</del>
| |
| * Include development headers with toolchain (easy/medium)
| |
| ** add dev-pkgs to IMAGE_FEATURES?
| |
| * <del>Spinner to set BB_NUMBER_THREADS</del>
| |
| * <del>Spinner to set PARALLEL_MAKE</del>
| |
| * 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
| |
| | |
| == M2 (Dev Complete Jul 4) ==
| |
| * 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:<pre>model[(2,)] = ('new string value', 'string 2')</pre>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.
| |
| * Package format dropdown
| |
| ** cooker able to determine classes which are appropriate for the value
| |
| ** wrap with command
| |
| ** hook up to hob
| |
| * Image output type dropdown
| |
| ** cooker able to determine all possible values for a variable
| |
| ** wrap with command
| |
| ** hook up to hob
| |
| * Sorting in Packages (by Group) column changes when item selected (included value alters sort order)
| |
| * 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
| |
| * Show contents of images & tasks (per community feedback) http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991 | | * 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 | | * Show more information for selected package (per community feedback) http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992 |
