2.1 Planning
Wish lists
Michael's
- Finish image-customisation 8070, 8081, 8082, 8103, 8104, 8117, 8128, 8132, 8091
- Remove pseudo API cruft / template context to json response stuff
- Consolidate used API into it's own view
- Finish toaster tables porting
- Get selenium test wrapper
- Create a toasterclient.py to interact with toaster to avoid need for 'command line builds'
- This would use toaster's API as the entry point to using bitbake
- It could be called by CI systems
- It could be used by auto builders etc
- Means that there are no two modes anywhere in Toaster
- Allows project configuration to be changed in toaster from the command line
Brian's
This is *not* ordered! This is more of a brain dump :)
- Collapse analysis and managed mode
- Working CI for each commit into toaster-next as well as for project peoples testME branches on poky-contrib:
- run django tests
- run selenium tests
- leverage sstate to make runs generally shorter
- remove git assumptions from code
- rationalize/simplify the configuration scripts
- if bitbake-memres comes out, interact with it gracefully (this is my preferred method of collapsing analysis and managed)
- fix the tmpdir/release build issue &/or discuss the need to support building old releases with a UI rather than limiting toaster to build the release it is part of. This is inherently fragile.
- ask bb to parse any layer added to a project and such as imported layers, and layers specified in the configuration file to give us recipe information.
- improve our build event following:
- note parse events
- update/retrieve ui so that we can tell something is happening before the first build event comes
- eliminate the remaining random tracebacks from try/except failures.
- allow configuration in addition to the addition/removal of layers/packages
- kernel config
- add user control/authentication
- update to Django 1.8. Always stay on Django LTS versions
- add layer update from layers.openembedded.org to the UI
- add Django tests for building e.g. we should be able to build core-image-sato from a django test and validate the db
- add mysql script to simplify setup with mysql/apache
- pull in new look and feel
- add django tests to validate all artifacts - if we say they can download it and it appears on a page anywhere, it should have a test
- improve docs of code on wiki. We have a nice start (ty E & M); I'd like to improve it.
- events - more info and list types supported
- what logic is in jscript , what is in python
- database schema definition and description esp interrelationships.
- list django tests, mostly so we can see what we are missing.
- build mode triggerred off of database entry, not autonomous process.
- add asynchronicity. I have noted a number of places where commands result in a sluggish ui. I'm nervous about this one.
- for example, starting a build that requires us to clone layers has a noticeable delay as compared to starting a local only project build.
- verify we can stop builds cleanly.
- get the rest of our logs into our local toaster dir
- allow us to run and stop 2 toasters on the same machine without them interfering with each other
- (2.2 or later for sure) discuss how to support multiple back end bb servers.
- probably will need to be able to add servers/remove servers/see server status/build state
- be able to see more details about build. For example, see the "jobs" being processed like you can in knotty
- revisit what variables we let people change. sstate_dir and dl_dir should certainly be allowed to change
- discuss way we do migrations. possibly change. thoughts:
- only support migrations from last release to current. (e.g. if you were running toaster jethro you could update to jethro++, but could not from fido to jethro)
- take migration from the startup script. it's only for releasetorelease.
- allow it to be in for master and ease of development w/in a release and pull at end as we do with moving releases.
- whatever we decide, add a test set for it so we know it works
- Be able to delete things from the ui
- old builds
- old projects
- imported layers we no longer want
- Be able to set from the ui a policy to delete all builds/recipes/packages that are older than XXX &/or be able to set maximum size on db and delete everything older than XXX when we near that size
- update the builds on the web page so we dont have to hit refresh to see the build progress.
Elliot's
- Make sure all files lint properly
- Include lint in CI builds
- Improve test coverage of all areas of the UI and back-end
- Clean up toasterui.py so it's easier to see what's going on in there
- Fix localhostbecontroller so it doesn't rely on what's in the log file when figuring out whether the bitbake server has started
