These days, i have worked on planet debian package. At first glance, it seemed easy to package but actually it wasn't, mainly due to debconf and FHS problems. A package is temporarily available at this address. The main features of the package is the usage of debconf to configure cron interval and also handles /etc/planet.conf for main options.
Any comments are obviously welcome.
I was really glad to be accepted for Google Summer of Code. My (accepted) proposal was on DWTT (Distribution Wide Tracker Tool) and CRMI (Collaborative Repository of Meta-Informations about source packages) mentored by Raphaël Hertzog.
I have worked a bit on DWTT today and have written a webpage on the Debian wiki about the project. I'm currently pondering which is the best python framework to use :
Having recently used ZODB (this means Zope Object DataBase) in a project, I think it's a great object database because it's very tightly integrated with Python, which makes it easy to use for programmers. ZODB is python-specific though, whereas SQLObject backends (for MySQL and Postgres) makes it language-independent.
In the next weeks i will work on DWTT design. Until june 16, I have a lot of school work, which is why I won't have enough free time to work on the project, hence a slowdown in the project.
