| | == Unplanned extra features - schedule at next map day == |
| | | * (Re-)Enable removal of packages http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450 |
| [[File:Screenshot-yHob-240511.png]]
| |
| | |
| == 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'' | |
| * <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>
| |
| * <del>Include development headers with toolchain (easy/medium)</del>
| |
| ** add dev-pkgs to IMAGE_FEATURES?
| |
| * <del>Spinner to set BB_NUMBER_THREADS</del>
| |
| * <del>Spinner to set PARALLEL_MAKE</del>
| |
| * <del>Save/load previous configuration</del>
| |
| ** 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
| |
| * <del>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</del>
| |
| * <del>A search box which does basic find in the currently selected treeview's model (gtk.TreeView.set_search_entry)</del>
| |
| ** 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:<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.
| |
| * <del>Package format dropdown</del>
| |
| * Image output type dropdown
| |
| ** all possible values for IMAGE_FSTYPES set in class
| |
| ** getVariable used to get list, split on " " and put into combobox
| |
| * 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
| |
| * <del>Show some notification when doing long-running operations i.e. toggle a package with many DEPENDS and the UI blocks without feedback</del>
| |
| * 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
| |
| *<del>When cancelling a build, confirm before killing</del>
| |
| *<del> Enable/Disable layers - use configuration writeback support for local.conf changes to also edit/save bblayers.conf changes</del>
| |
| ** Properly reload the data when the layers are modified
| |
| | |
| === Bugs ===
| |
| * <del>Fix reset/build again</del>
| |
| ** <del>I think this is caused by the cooker/server exiting on build completion. If so we need to enable the UI to request the server doesn't terminate until it receives a signal of some sort.</del>
| |
| * <del>We need to be able to switch from a stopped/completed build back to the image creation mode.</del>
| |
| * <del>Fix removing *all* packages in sweep</del>
| |
| | |
| == 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 contents of images & tasks (per community feedback) http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991 |
