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

The Ordered Part

  1. Django 1.8 aka LTS
  2. Image Customization
  3. Testing and Stability
  4. One way to start/One code path


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
  • Provide a way to modify settings in settings.py without editing that file (e.g. with a local overlay configuration file)
  • Move the logic, environment variables, directory setup and script calls from bin/toaster into Django commands: this would allow you to run toaster correctly, with all the required setup, without having to use bin/toaster; it would also mean that we could provide cleaner production setup instructions, as a user could run a series of Django commands (with their own parameters) to setup their environment; bin/toaster would then just execute a series of Django commands

Belén's

  • Implement new custom theme (already in progress, aiming for end of M1: Dec 7th). Related bugs: 8417
  • Finish image customisation. Related bugs: 8070, 8081, 8082, 8103, 8104, 8117, 8128, 8132, 8091
  • Review interaction with layers: as it is, imposes heavy restrictions on users. Some of the questions I would like to consider:
    • Should the import layer action be global instead of per project, so that you can reuse imported layers across projects?
    • Should we allow users to override the release layer branch, setting a particular layer index layer to a different branch or commit?
    • Should we allow users to set a different git repo for layer index layers?
    • Should we allow users to override the bitbake revision set by the release in a project?
    • Related bugs: 6640, 6701, 7574, 8426, 8429
  • Access control (a simple one to start, with very basic permissions). Related bugs: 6233, 6234
  • WIC integration (getting a step closer to the holy grail of 'click button' > 'image deployed in board')
  • Fix the variable history (this is one of the features users have highly praised, and it is a bit broken in 2.0). Related bugs: 5811, 8488, 8190, 8189, 8188
  • Get Toaster to collect build data from Jenkins builds. Once again, repeatedly requested by users. Related bugs: 7527

Ed's

  • Merge analysis and managed modes
  • Fix as much pending bugs as possible.
  • Finish image customisation.
  • Support Django LTS
  • Increase test coverage. It would be good to set realistic goals, e.g. cover specific modules or increase coverage to 10% and follow the plan.
  • Include production configuration into testing
  • Cover views.py with tests and split it into modules. Currently it's huge and hard to maintain. I suspect there are a lot of unused APIs in there.
  • Finish refactoring of buildcontroller code. This work is started in ed/toaster/bec and sitting there for quite long time.
  • Bring patchset support to toaster patchwork.
  • Add 'submitted upstream' and 'merged upstream' statuses to patchwork. Make the statuses updated automatically when patch is accepted to toaster-next or bitbake master.
  • Clean up the code. Set realistic goals for pylint scores and follow them.
  • Enhance Jenkins CI jobs to run all possible django, tts and pylint tests

Sujith's

  • Get toaster working with non-git repos. Related bugs: 8456
  • minor, but would be good to have :- Once user launches toaster, it would be nice to see the progress bar updated without user refreshing the page. Related bugs: 8328
  • Cancellation of build. Related bugs: 6787

Would love to take up more tasks.

David's

  • Finish the effort around Toaster "extensions", started by Farrell. This will enable Toaster customization for commercial partners, as per branding and

alternate pages (for extended project creation).
