Last week was pretty much completely about fixing bugs in the info page handling code. I worked for about 45 hours on my project. The most significant change was that I decided to use primary.xml too, so that I could reliably find the source RPM for corresponding to each binary RPM with info pages. Before […]

I would have liked to make a blog post about how everything is just working that I had on my TODO list last week. But sadly that’s not quite the case. Updates handling works, though it still needs some testing. Info page importing kind of works, but there’s a problem. I use makeinfo –docbook to […]

Sorry again that this report is a bit late. When there’s code to be written, blogging seems to be secondary 😉 Last week’s work described in short: I implemented RPM repository support. And that was a lot more work I would have imagined. First download ands parse repomd.xml to see checksums of the repository, then […]

I posted something on Thursday, but here’s “the official” weekly report. I spent last week mainly on implementing SisterDiff and it’s completed now. First I had to familiarize myself with Moin’s Action interface. Then I thought I could maybe use the functions from an other action, LikePages. But after some testing, that didn’t seem to […]

Just a quick update on what’s going on: Sister diff is completed. So the only features missing from milestone 1 are “mass importing” of man pages and info page importing. It might be that I’ll leave the whole info page thing to next week, since there’s the problem that I mentioned in my previous post […]

I spent this week designing and implementing the CVS integration. Fedora’s CVS is set up so that you can’t download the upstream source packages directly from the CVS. You first download a “sources” file from the CVS and then you can generate the URL where to download the .tar.{gz, bz2} files from. I documented the […]

This report is a bit late, sorry. The Evanescence concert trip in the beginning of the week and Midsummer in the end made last week a bit disorganized. I still got work done, though (about 22 working hours) and this is what I accomplished: Made the manimporter to create a basic wiki namespace hierarchy. Tried […]

Apparently I’m not that good at working on weekends, other stuff just kept interrupting me all the time… But here’s what I did last week: Kept reading the Moin source code and discussing with the community. I had a meeting with my mentor, you can read about it in a prior blog post. We made […]
