2.2 Planning

Wish lists

Michael's

  • Remove pseudo API cruft / template context to json response stuff
  • Remove bldcontrol (we only need localhostbecontroller.py)
  • Look at schema and rework where needed
  • Consolidate used API into it's own view
  • Finish toaster tables porting
  • 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
  • Drop supporting old releases

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

2.2 release
2.1 release
  • 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).
