The recent news about Gambas Software Farm: - Many bug fixes.
- The farm configuration (server list, identities) has been removed from the IDE option dialog, and is now in its own dialog. That way, the code of the software farm is independent, and will be put in its own executable (gambas3-farm) in the future. - Voting is now possible by clicking on the star button, as soon as you are identified on the server. Each user can assing zero or one vote for each software. The number displayed beside the star is the total number of votes - Installing is not done. As for installing software, here are my thoughts: - The farm server will extract the ".project" file for the submitted software to know about its component dependencies (not done). - When installing, the farm client will download the ".project" file to check these dependencies. If they do not match, an error message will be displayed, and the installation will abort. - In the future, the error message could be replaced by an automatic installation of binary packages depending on the distribution. I need help for that: for each distribution, I need to know how to install a binary package, and if the distribution follows the gambas binary package naming convention. - If there are dependencies of other softwares, then a recursive search of all the dependencies is done, and the corresponding software must be installed first. - The source package is downloaded, and stored in something like '~/.local/gambas3/farm/<farm server>/'. - The software is compiled on the user's computer, and the executable is installed in '~/.local/gambas3/bin/'. - A *.desktop file is created and installed in '~/.local/share/applications' so that it appears in the desktop menu.
